Car financing: blue 2019 Audi Q7 Progressiv in Java

The 2019 Audi Q7 Progressiv for buyers

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2019 Audi Q7 Progressiv; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is the 2019 Audi Q7 Progressiv for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

Recalls and complaints

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 63 complaints with NHTSA, most often about steering, suspension and electrical system; have those parts checked. 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.

Specs, explained

The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. 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 11.0 L/100 km works out to about 33 litres per 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $192.50 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Size and space

It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.

Who the Q7 suits

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Rent it for a week first

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. If the Q7 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

The cost of driving it

The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Year and trim

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Compare the Progressiv with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

Java and the Q7

CarmaCars is based in Toronto, about 3,178 km from Java, and does not deliver there. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Java.
