The Audi Advantage

Audi Australia has announced a new program called Audi Advantage that will change the ownership equation and allow customers to future-proof their investment. The program allows customers to purchase a two-year combined service, warranty and roadside assistance package for Audi vehicles up to eight years of age that have travelled less than 120,000km (whichever comes first). The step not only provides Audi customers with unrivalled coverage for their vehicle, but demonstrates the brand’s confidence in the Australian market.

The program benefits new vehicle customers and existing customers with vehicles which meet conditions, with new vehicle customers able to buy these two-year programs back-to-back when they purchase their Audi, extending the current manufacturer’s warranty past the current five-year timeframe. The Audi Advantage program is available across the Audi range with the exception of the e-tron range which is yet to be included.

The new program means that new vehicle owners are able to extend their full factory warranty for up to nine years, with that warranty transferrable to future owners of their vehicle. 

“In designing this program, we wanted to ensure that Audi owners are the envy of the Australian premium market, said Paul Sansom, Audi Director and Group Managing Director of Volkswagen Group Australia.
“Not only did we want to provide a program that gives our owners complete confidence in their vehicle for an extended period of time, but one that also secures the value of their investment, should they decide to trade-up to a newer model in the future.”

“We believe the Audi Advantage program provides the ultimate in peace-of-mind for premium vehicle owners in Australia.” 

Existing customers and those purchasing an Audi Approved :plus vehicle are also beneficiaries of the new program, which covers Audi vehicles currently younger than eight years that have travelled less than 120,000 kilometres – which is in keeping with the 15,000km Audi service schedule. These vehicles will need to have a complete service history even if that that servicing was not carried out by an Audi service centre, and must also pass a 115-point inspection, carried out by an authorised Audi service centre – the same inspection Audi uses to qualify pre-owned vehicles for its Audi Approved :plus sales program.

In keeping with the new program, all vehicles from Audi Approved :plus now come with a minimum of two years servicing, warranty and roadside assist and customers are able to buy the Audi Advantage two-year programs back-to-back at the time of purchase, to extend the current manufacturer warranty. Depending on the age of the vehicle, this allows vehicle owners the security of a full factory warranty for up to 10 years, which is also transferable to future owners of their vehicle. 

“We believe the Audi Approved :plus program is the most comprehensive certified pre-owned offer in the Australian market,” said Sansom. 

“At a time when the prices of pre-owned vehicles are as high as they have been right across the market, we believe the Audi Approved :plus program places our owners in the best possible position to maintain the value of their investment.”
