Buying the 2024 Audi A4 Technik

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2024 Audi A4 Technik for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. This page puts the 2024 Audi A4 Technik in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

Before you sign for the A4

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 6 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, tires and air bags. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

What the figures tell you

The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, with all-wheel drive and a 7-speed automatic. 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.

Expect about 24 litres for every 300 km, going by its 8.0 L/100 km combined rating. That works out to about $12.40 per 100 km 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 stop-and-go driving and rideshare or delivery work. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Inside and out

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its 340 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Try before you buy

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Year and trim

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

Running costs

A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.40 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
