Audi A4 Window Sticker

The Audi A4 window sticker — build, options & years

The Audi A4 ran from 1996–2026 across 8 generations (1996–1999, 2002, 2005, 2008, 2011, 2014, 2017, 2020–2023). Its Monroney label captures exactly how each one left the factory — the build, the options it was optioned with and the price, built around the 3.1L, 6-cyl, Premium fuel, 4-Wheel or All-Wheel Drive powertrain.

Which year's sticker do I need? Any Audi A4 VIN works — ForCar reads the exact model year automatically. On owner data the cleanest years are 2007, 2022, 2023; the most-complained-about are 2006, 1998, 2005. For year-by-year recalls, MPG and safety, see the full Audi A4 VIN decoder.

What the Audi A4 sticker says about fuel

Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the A4, latest tested year 2025:

The label also prints an estimated $2,650 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 407 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the A4 under Subcompact Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.

How the A4's sticker figure changed

Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 1996 to 2025. Worth checking before you compare a A4 sticker from one year with another:

Over that span the combined figure rose by 9 mpg, so an early sticker and a recent one describe noticeably different cars. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.

Safety ratings printed on the label

The second required block: NHTSA's five-star crash results. This is what the A4 sticker carries as of its 2025 rating:

Stars are awarded per test, so a car can hold five overall and fewer for rollover — tall vehicles usually give ground there. Compare against every rated model in the safest cars ranking.

What a used A4 sells for now

The label froze the A4 price on the day it left the factory; the market has moved since, and this is where it landed: median asking price of the A4 by model year, from 377 live US listings:

A 2024 A4 asks a median $26,500 today, a 2011 about $5,995. Full breakdown on the Audi A4 value page.

What's on the Audi A4 sticker

Every Monroney label carries the same required blocks: MSRP with itemised options, EPA fuel economy — for this car 29 mpg combined, NHTSA safety ratings — 5 stars overall here, standard and optional equipment, and parts-content origin. Every A4 VIN returns its own build rather than a generic spec.

For how to read each block, what to do if the sticker is lost, and how it differs from a build sheet, see the window sticker guide.

Where to find the VIN on a Audi A4

1. WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
2. Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every A4, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
3. DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Audi A4 all three must show the same number.

All four must match. A Audi A4 whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
