The 2020 Audi A4 Progressiv for buyers

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2020 Audi A4 Progressiv for sale by us right now. Here is the 2020 Audi A4 Progressiv for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

What to check on the A4

Owners filed 158 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, back over prevention and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Specs, explained

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

The EPA rates it at 7.9 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 24 litres. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $13.83 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles.

Space, size and seats

As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Measured bumper to bumper, it is 4.76 m. Check the size of a tight parking spot. For luggage, 368 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who the A4 suits

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Try before you buy

Rent the A4 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the A4 answers the big questions. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

The cost of driving it

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $138.30 at our price setting.

Which one to look for

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
