"Congruent" isn't used to describe the diagonals of a rhombus. However, all four sides of a rhombus are congruent - they are all the same length.
The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other. They are not the same length - if the diagonals were the same length, then you would have a square.

Are diagonals always congruent?
In a quadrilateral, the diagonals are only congruent for rectangles (or squares, which is a special kind of rectangle). Note: they are not congruent for a Rhombus.
What polygons always have congruent diagonals?
Regular polygons. A square and rectangle will have congruent (equal length) diagonals.
Are the diagonals of a rhombus ever congruent?
Yes, if they are a square.
Which quadrilateral must have diagonals that are congruent and perpendicular?
The quadrilateral that must have diagonals that are congruent and perpendicular is the square. This is because its diagonals form a right angle at its center.
In which quadrilateral are the diagonals always congruent?
The diagonals of a rhombus are always congruent. A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all sides of equal length. Due to its symmetry, the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles, and they are always of the same length. This property distinguishes a rhombus from other quadrilaterals like rectangles or parallelograms.
