The 2024 Audi A4 Technik: before you buy

You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. The 2024 Audi A4 Technik for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.

Before you sign for the A4

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. 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.

Reading the spec sheet

The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid with all-wheel drive and a 7-speed automatic. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

By the EPA's combined rating of 8.0 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 24 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $124 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

What to expect from the A4

As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Luggage space is rated at 340 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who the A4 suits

It suits stop-and-go driving and rideshare or delivery work. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.

Try before you buy

If the A4 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Try the A4 on your commute, then decide. Rent the A4 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

The cost of driving it

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.40 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $124 at our price setting. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.

Narrowing it down

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
