- The new Audi Advantage program allows owners to purchase two-year packages to extend their servicing, warranty and roadside assistance, up to a maximum of 10 years
- Sansom: "In designing this program, we wanted to ensure that Audi owners are the envy of the Australian premium market"
- Simple package pricing starts at $2700 for two years of Audi Advantage confidence for an Audi A1, with packages stretching across the Audi range
Zetland, 23 June 2022 – Audi Australia is announcing its game-changing vehicle ownership program: Audi Advantage. Designed to provide an unmatched level of confidence in the Australian market, the program allows customers to purchase a two-year combined service, warranty and roadside assistance package for Audi vehicles up to 8 years of age that have travelled less than 120,000km (whichever comes first).
New vehicle customers are able to buy these two-year programs back-to-back at the time of purchase, to extend the current manufacturer warranty beyond the current 5-year timeframe. This allows new vehicle owners the security of a full factory warranty for up to 9 years, which is transferable to future owners of their vehicle. The Audi Advantage program is not yet available for the e-tron range of vehicles.
"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."
Any Audi vehicle currently younger than 8 years of age, that has travelled under 120,000km (consistent with the 15,000km per-year Audi service schedule), is eligible for the program, subject to a few prerequisites: vehicles need to have a complete service history carried out to the manufacturer's specifications (not necessarily by an Audi service centre).
Eligible vehicles must also pass a 115-point inspection, carried out by an authorised Audi service centre. This is the same inspection that qualifies Audi vehicles for the Approved Plus pre-owned sales program.
Audi Approved :plus
In alignment with the Audi Advantage program, all Audi Approved :plus pre-owned vehicles now come with a minimum of two years servicing, warranty and roadside assistance. As with new vehicles, 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.
The warranty and service plan elements come in addition to any remaining new-vehicle warranty and service plan that is attached to a particular vehicle. In order to be eligible for the program, vehicles need to meet the same prerequisites as for Audi Advantage eligibility.
"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."
