Buying the 2020 Audi A4 Technik

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2020 Audi A4 Technik for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Here is the 2020 Audi A4 Technik for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

A buyer's checks

NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Owners filed 158 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, back over prevention and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

The numbers in plain words

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, 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.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 24 litres, from its 7.9 L/100 km rating. In energy, every 100 km costs about $13.83 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Who it is for

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.

Room inside

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Measured bumper to bumper, it is 4.76 m. Check the size of a tight parking spot. At 368 litres, the trunk fits about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

A longer test drive

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the A4 for a week and see how it fits your life.

Which one to look for

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

Money matters

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. 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 $13.83 in fuel.
