Blue 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv for sale in Roach

Thinking of buying the 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv?

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv for sale by us right now. Buying the 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv is a big decision; here is the information we have.

A buyer's checks

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

Specs, explained

It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid and all-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

Combined fuel use is 8.0 L/100 km: about 24 litres for 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $37.20 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Best uses

Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Space and size

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. With 340 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

A longer test drive

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

Which one to look for

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

Money matters

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $124 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
