Audis generally get good reviews. For example, Car and Driver named Audis "so uniformly good at everything that they can almost feel cold and clinical." Consumer Reports ranked Audi as the twelfth best brand — worse than competitors like Acura and BMW — but better than Cadillac, Genesis and Infinity.

“Costco member demand for Audi is very strong, especially the Audi Q5,” said Cory Benwell, general manager of the Costco Auto Program.

How the Costco Auto Program works

The Costco Auto Program is free to all Costco members. The Program provides low, prearranged pricing on most makes and models through Costco's network of Approved Dealerships where you will find trained and certified Authorized Contacts to assist you with your purchase. Members can also use “Vehicle Research” to locate an Approved Dealer for any brand.

For the Audi and Volvo promotions, visit “Vehicle Research” to be connected to one of Costco's network of dealerships, or you can click the banner on the Costco Auto Program page for the promotion you want to participate in. Here, you can register to get a certificate to bring to any dealership of your choice (not necessarily a Costco Auto Program dealership).

As a bonus, Costco members may be able to stack their member-only incentive on top of available manufacturer-to-consumer incentives.

Other benefits of the Costco Auto Program

15% off vehicle maintenance and repair: In addition to offering specials and incentives during the Audi Limited-Time Special, Costco also offers members 15% off parts, service and accessories for any vehicle in their household. That's a savings of up to $500 per use.

Costco Auto Program for pre-owned vehicles: Costco also helps its members locate factory-certified pre-owned vehicles at a dealership near you.

Auto insurance: Costco Members may save on car insurance and home Insurance. The company reports that its members saved an average of $595.86 in auto insurance in the first year after they switched to CONNECT, powered by American Family Insurance.

New hybrids and EVs

The Costco Auto Program might help you buy a more efficient gas-powered car, a hybrid or a fully electric vehicle (EV).

And remember that new electric vehicles may qualify for up to $7,500 in credits provided at the dealership that could further whittle down the price of your car. The 2023-24 Audi Q5 PHEV qualifies for the tax credit, for example.

Several states also offer tax breaks, and some states may also provide rebates on plug-in hybrids or electric vehicles. For example, Colorado provides rebates up to $12,000, California up to $7,000, Massachusetts up to $3,500 and Maryland up to $3,000, to name a few. Several states also provide incentives for installing a Level 2 (medium speed) charger at your home.
