The 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv: before you buy

A buyer's checks

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 6 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, tires and air bags; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

What the figures tell you

Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, driving through a 7-speed automatic. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

Expect about 24 litres for every 300 km, going by its 8.0 L/100 km combined rating. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $37.20 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Practical details

Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is rated at 340 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Best uses

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

A longer test drive

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.40 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $124 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Narrowing it down

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
