Lease takeover: yellow 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv in Patsy

The 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv: before you buy

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. Here is the 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

Before you sign for the A4

Owners filed 6 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, tires and air bags; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Engine and fuel

Its powertrain is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid with all-wheel drive. 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.

Plan on about 24 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.0 L/100 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $12.40. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles.

Best uses

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Practical details

Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Its 340 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent the A4 for a week and see how it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A test week in the A4 tells you more than any review.

Picking a year and a trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Compare the Progressiv with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
