Auto loans: the 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page puts the 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

Before you sign for the A4

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 6 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, tires and air bags. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

Reading the spec sheet

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, paired with a 7-speed automatic, drives it. 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.

It is rated at 8.0 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 24 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $124. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

What to expect from the A4

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The EPA measures its luggage space at 340 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who the A4 suits

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Rent it for a week first

If the A4 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. 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.

What it costs to run

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $124 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.

Narrowing it down

Compare the Progressiv with the other trims of the same year before you decide. 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.
