Car dealership: black 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv in Patsy

The 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv: before you buy

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. For anyone shopping for the 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv, here are the facts that matter.

A buyer's checks

NHTSA has 6 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, tires and air bags. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

The figures, translated

The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, with all-wheel drive. 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.

The EPA rates it at 8.0 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 24 litres. That works out to about $12.40 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Size and space

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. With 340 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who rents the A4

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Rent it for a week first

Rent first, buy later: a week with the A4 answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the A4 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

Running costs

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Choosing the right one

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
