The figures, translated
It runs the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
It is rated at 9.4 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 28 litres. Expect about $16.45 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Room inside
As a small car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Luggage space is 283 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A good match for
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Rent it for a week first
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week with the A5 answers more than any brochure.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $164.50 at our price setting. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Choosing the right one
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Talk to a person
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
