The 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv: before you buy

No 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv before buying one.

A buyer's checks

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. 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.

The numbers in plain words

Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, driving through a 7-speed automatic. 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.

A combined rating of 8.0 L/100 km works out to about 24 litres per 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $12.40 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Best uses

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

What the A4 is like

Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. EPA lists 340 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

A longer test drive

Try the A4 on your commute, then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent first, buy later: a week with the A4 answers the big questions.

Picking a year and a trim

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. 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.

Money matters

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.40 in fuel.
