Lease a car: blue 2020 Audi A4 Progressiv in Knobs

Thinking of buying the 2020 Audi A4 Progressiv?

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.

Before you sign for the A4

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 158 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, back over prevention and unknown or other; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

The figures, translated

Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo drives through a 7-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

A combined rating of 7.9 L/100 km works out to about 24 litres per 300 km. 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.

Inside and out

As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The body is 4.76 m long and 1.85 m wide. Check the size of a tight parking spot. The EPA measures its luggage space at 368 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent first, buy later: a week with the A4 answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

What it costs to run

Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.83 in fuel.

Year and trim

Compare the Progressiv with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
