The 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv: before you buy

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

What to check on the A4

NHTSA has 6 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, tires and air bags. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

What the specs mean

Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid drives through a 7-speed automatic. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 24 litres, from its 8.0 L/100 km rating. In money, 1,000 km costs about $124 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who the A4 suits

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

What to expect from the A4

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. EPA lists 340 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Rent it for a week first

Rent the A4 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Drive the A4 on your commute before you commit to it. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Year and trim

Compare the Progressiv with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

Running costs

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 $12.40 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
