What to check on the A4

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

Under the hood

Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid drives through a 7-speed automatic. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 25 litres, from its 8.3 L/100 km rating. A 300 km weekend costs about $38.61 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

The A4 in everyday use

Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The EPA measures its luggage space at 340 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Good uses for the A4

It suits stop-and-go driving and rideshare or delivery work. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

A longer test drive

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A test week in the A4 tells you more than any review. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.

What it costs to run

The EPA estimates US$2,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.87 in fuel.

Choosing the right one

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
