1 / 6

Audi's Canadian sales rose 10.6% in 2025, and Driving.ca named it the year's top-selling premium brand in Canada, ahead of Lexus and BMW. The Q5 SUV is its best seller, and quattro all-wheel drive comes on most Canadian Audis. The lineup has been reshaped: the A4 is gone, replaced by a new A5 sedan, the Q3, Q5 and A6 are all-new, the Q7 is redesigned for 2027, and the three-row Q9 is the new flagship. Audi also offers a broad range of e-tron EVs. None of its current models is built in the US, so Canada's counter-tariffs do not apply, but no Audi EV is priced low enough for the federal rebate.

What's new and what's gone at Audi Canada

  • A5 replaces the A4: the new A5 is a four-door liftback sedan with a 268 hp mild-hybrid engine. Audi dropped its plan to give even numbers to EVs, and the A5 coupe and convertible are gone.
  • New Q3, Q5 and A6: all three are new generations. The Q3's starting price rose by as much as 22% as entry trims were cut.
  • Q7 and Q9: the 2027 Q7 is redesigned with a 429 hp twin-turbo V6, and its starting price rose by about CA$16,600. The new Q9 three-row flagship starts at CA$123,300.
  • Gone: the A4, A7 and S7 (only the RS 7 remains), Q8 e-tron, R8 and TT. The A8 is being phased out.

Audi e-tron EVs

Audi offers electric versions across most of its range: the Q4 e-tron compact SUV, the Q6 e-tron mid-size SUV, the A6 e-tron sedan and Avant, and the e-tron GT. The Q6 and A6 e-tron share a new 800-volt platform built for fast charging, and the e-tron GT shares its platform with the Porsche Taycan. The first-generation e-tron SUV, later renamed Q8 e-tron, ended production in early 2025.

Luxury tax, tariffs and rebates

Luxury tax. Canada's federal luxury tax applies to new vehicles priced over CA$100,000. It is the lesser of 10% of the full price or 20% of the amount over CA$100,000, with GST or HST charged on top. At base price it applies to the A8 and S8, RS 6 Avant, RS 7, e-tron GT, SQ7, Q9 and SQ9, RS Q8 and higher Q8 and SQ8 trims, and the top S6 e-tron and SQ6 versions. Options can push a Q7, Q8 or A6 e-tron over the threshold.

Tariffs. Audi builds its Canadian models in Germany, Hungary, Slovakia and Mexico. None comes from the US, so Canada's counter-tariffs on US-built vehicles do not apply to current Audis.

The federal EV Affordability Program pays up to CA$5,000 on an eligible EV, but imported vehicles must have a final transaction value of CA$50,000 or less. The least expensive Audi EV, the Q4 e-tron 45, starts at CA$59,990, so no current Audi qualifies.

New vehicle limited warranty4 years or 80,000 km
High-voltage battery8 years or 160,000 km

Audi Certified :plusCoverage up to 6 years or 160,000 km from the original in-service date; 24/7 roadside with trip interruption; Carfax Canada report; 7-day or 500 km exchange

Audi's four-year warranty is in line with other German luxury brands, and its 12-year corrosion coverage is among the longest available.

Buying a used Audi in Canada

Consider Audi Certified :plus

Certified Audis keep coverage up to six years or 160,000 km from new, which matters on a German luxury car once the factory warranty ends.

Check the service history

Turbocharged Audi engines and quattro systems need maintenance on schedule. Ask for records of oil changes, DSG or S tronic transmission service and timing components on older models.

Run the VIN for recalls

In January 2026, Audi recalled 30,266 vehicles in Canada for rear-camera software, covering A6, A7, A8, Q7, Q8, e-tron and e-tron GT models, plus 3,859 vehicles for rear seat belts. Other 2026 recalls covered e-tron brakes and 2019 to 2021 Q3 steering. Check Transport Canada's recall database and confirm the work was done.

Used e-tron models can be strong value

Electric luxury cars have generally lost value faster than gas models, which can make a used e-tron or Q4 e-tron a lot of car for the money. Check the battery warranty's remaining term.
