Car leasing: green 2020 Audi A4 Progressiv in Kickapoo

The 2020 Audi A4 Progressiv: before you buy

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2020 Audi A4 Progressiv; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. The 2020 Audi A4 Progressiv for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.

A buyer's checks

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

What the figures tell you

Its powertrain is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Its combined rating is 7.9 L/100 km, which means roughly 24 litres for 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $13.83 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Room inside

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its length is 4.76 m, so it is on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. EPA lists 368 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

A good match for

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Drive it on your own roads

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the A4 first, and buy only if it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Running costs

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.83 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $138.30 at our price setting. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.

Picking a year and a trim

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Compare the Progressiv with the other trims of the same year before you decide.
