Trade in: the 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv for sale by us right now. Thinking about the 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.

A buyer's checks

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Under the hood

The powertrain to know here 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. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

A combined rating of 8.0 L/100 km works out to about 24 litres per 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $37.20 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Inside and out

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Luggage space is 340 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

A good match for

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Rent it for a week first

A test week in the A4 tells you more than any review. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Try the A4 on your commute, then decide.

The cost of driving it

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. 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. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
