Thinking of buying the 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv?

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

Before you sign for the A4

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Owners filed 6 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, tires and air bags; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

The figures, translated

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid with all-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

Rated at 8.0 L/100 km combined, it needs around 24 litres for a 300 km round trip. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $12.40, and a 300 km weekend about $37.20. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

What to expect from the A4

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Luggage space is rated at 340 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who it is for

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Rent it for a week first

A week with the A4 answers more than any brochure. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the A4 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

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. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $124 at our price setting.

Year and trim

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
