Audi is updating pricing and standard equipment across nearly its entire US lineup for the 2027 model year, and every new car buyer gets one guaranteed benefit regardless of which model they choose: three years of scheduled maintenance at no extra cost.

The change applies to every new Audi sold in the United States starting with the 2027 model year. Audi Signature Care now covers each scheduled service visit for the first three years or 30,000 miles of ownership, whichever comes first, plus one brake fluid service. Owners can use the benefit at any of Audi’s more than 300 authorized dealers nationwide, on top of existing warranty and roadside assistance coverage. On a car like the A5, which now starts at $50,400, that removes several hundred dollars a year in routine costs that buyers previously had to budget for separately.

What Comes With Every New Audi

Audi frames the maintenance program as part of what it calls the largest wave of new products in company history, spanning sedans, SUVs and performance models. The free service plan sits alongside the brand’s standard warranty and roadside assistance, and dealers apply it automatically to any 2027 model year purchase. Audi has not attached an expiration date or mileage cap beyond the three-year, 30,000-mile window, so drivers who put low annual mileage on their cars will still use up the benefit on a calendar basis rather than losing it early.

Beyond the maintenance plan, Audi is also expanding driver assistance technology across several models. New packages add dashcam integration, head-up displays and an interaction lighting system that reacts to nearby pedestrians and cyclists, while updated Park Assist Plus systems make tight parking spaces easier to enter and exit.

Q3 and A5 Remain the Cheapest Ways Into an Audi

The compact Q3 S line quattro holds the line as Audi’s most affordable model, priced at $44,400 before the $1,295 destination charge. The 2027 update carries over the SUV’s 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing 255 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque through standard quattro all-wheel drive and a seven-speed S tronic transmission.

The A5 moves to a simplified one-trim structure for 2027, priced at $50,400 with its 2.0-liter, 268-horsepower engine. Audi says the change is meant to make ordering easier while still letting buyers customize through curated packages rather than a long list of individual options. Interior details shift slightly too: the standard model gets a black headliner when paired with black or brown interiors, while beige interiors keep a gray headliner. Buyers who want more performance can step up to the S5 at $63,600, which pairs a 362-horsepower, 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine with the same quattro and S tronic combination.

At the top of the A5 range, Audi introduces a new Vorsprung package for the S5 with a 10.9-inch front passenger display, digital OLED taillights, heated rear seats, rear side window sunshades and a surround-view camera system with 3D view. Adaptive S Sport suspension comes bundled in that package or can be ordered on its own.

A6 Sportback e-tron Spans $66,700 to $83,300

Audi’s electric A6 Sportback e-tron lineup gets a wider spread of pricing for 2027. The rear-wheel-drive A6 Sportback e-tron, with a single motor producing 375 horsepower, starts at $66,700 in Premium trim and rises to $75,200 for Prestige. Stepping up to the dual-motor A6 Sportback e-tron quattro, with 456 horsepower, pricing runs from $68,700 to $77,200 across the same three trims.

The performance-focused S6 Sportback e-tron, rated at 543 horsepower, skips the base Premium trim entirely and starts at $79,600 for Premium Plus, topping out at $83,300 for Prestige. All A6 Sportback e-tron models carry the same $1,295 destination charge as the rest of the lineup.

Audi is also adding an Executive package for the A6 range that includes dual-pane acoustic glass for both front and rear windows, a Bang & Olufsen sound system with 3D audio and front headrest speakers, and a power-operated rear window sunshade. Cars equipped with the Bang & Olufsen system also gain a Virtual Rooms feature, which adjusts the sound profile to mimic the acoustics of venues like concert halls or jazz clubs depending on what’s playing.

A8, Q8 and e-tron GT Cover the High End

Audi’s flagship sedan, the A8 L 55 TFSI, holds at $95,100 for 2027, powered by a 335-horsepower, 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine. The performance-oriented S8 climbs to $130,000 with a 563-horsepower, 4.0-liter V8.

The Q8 SUV family spans a wide range depending on trim and engine. The Q8 55 TFSI starts at $76,900 in Premium trim and reaches $87,500 in Prestige, while the 500-horsepower SQ8 starts at $100,600 in Premium Plus and climbs to $108,100 in Prestige. At the top of the range, the RS Q8 performance, with 631 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque, is priced at $139,700 and now includes dual-pane acoustic glass for the side windows as standard equipment.

Audi’s electric flagship, the RS e-tron GT performance, carries over largely unchanged for 2027 aside from a high-gloss black grille added to its optional Forged Carbon package. The car pairs two motors and a 105 kWh battery for a combined 912 horsepower, and it starts at $170,500 in RS trim, the only trim offered.

Every price listed is the manufacturer’s suggested retail price and excludes destination charges, taxes, title, additional options and dealer fees, meaning actual out-the-door costs will run higher depending on the dealer and options chosen. Audi says information on additional 2027 models will follow in the coming weeks, so buyers cross-shopping the rest of the lineup, including the Q6 e-tron and Q5 families, should expect further pricing announcements before those models reach dealers.

Freedom or safety for young drivers? UK can and must deliver both, says GEM 11/05/2026 SHARE: Images are for editorial use only. Experts gathering at Young Driver Focus in London on 13 May to press for action, not further delay Young drivers remain disproportionately at risk, with preventable deaths continuing on UK roads International evidence shows graduated driver licensing can cut crashes by up to 40% GEM Motoring Assist will return to the RAC Club, London, on 13 May as headline sponsor of Young Driver Focus 2026, renewing calls for decisive action to improve protection for newly-qualified drivers. Despite years of evidence and advocacy, the UK has yet to introduce a comprehensive system of graduated driver licensing (GDL) - a move GEM and other road safety groups say is costing young lives. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We are long past the point of asking whether we should act. The evidence is overwhelming, and the consequences of delay are measured in lives lost and families devastated.” GDL is a phased approach that allows new drivers to gain experience under lower-risk conditions before progressing to full driving privileges. Common measures include limits on late-night driving and restrictions on carrying same-age passengers during the months after passing the test. International research consistently shows crash reductions of between 20% and 40% where GDL systems are in place. In some regions of Canada, reductions in young driver deaths have exceeded 80%. In the UK, drivers aged 17 to 24 account for around 20% of road deaths, despite making up just 7% of licence holders. Inexperience, distraction and overconfidence remain key risk factors - precisely the issues GDL is designed to address. GEM stresses that a well-designed system supports rather than penalises young people, and a recent TRL review1 found no significant negative impact on access to education, employment or social activity. GEM supports a system that extends structured learning, reduces known high-risk conditions and allows young drivers to build skills progressively and safely. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We do many things well in the UK, particularly in driver training, but the current system offers too little structured support once someone passes the test. That’s where the real risk begins. “The choice is simple: continue with a system we know is failing too many young people, or take proven steps that will save lives. Doing nothing is not a neutral position - it is a decision with consequences… and Young Driver Focus offers a chance to translate the latest insight into real-world action.”
