Buying the 2020 Audi A4 Technik

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2020 Audi A4 Technik for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. For anyone shopping for the 2020 Audi A4 Technik, here are the facts that matter.

What to check on the A4

NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. 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.

Under the hood

It runs the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Combined fuel use is 7.9 L/100 km: about 24 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $41.49 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Space, size and seats

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its length is 4.76 m, so it is on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. For luggage, 368 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Rent it for a week first

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the A4 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Which one to look for

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

Money matters

The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.83 in fuel. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
