The 2021 Audi A4 Technik: before you buy

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2021 Audi A4 Technik 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. Here is the 2021 Audi A4 Technik for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

What to check on the A4

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

The numbers in plain words

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 sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 25 litres, from its 8.3 L/100 km rating. A 300 km weekend costs about $38.61 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,950 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Best uses

It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Space and size

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Its 340 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Drive it on your own roads

A week with the A4 answers more than any brochure. If the A4 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the A4 first, and buy only if it fits your life.

Choosing the right one

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

Running costs

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $128.70 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.87 in fuel.
