Frequently asked questions

Audi A4 40 TDI: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the A4 40 TDI rank in its segment?#

Among the 84 saloons 2018–2022, the A4 40 TDI ranks 13th of 84 in Combined consumption (4.7 L/100, behind the Bmw 420d), 74th of 84 in 0–100 km/h (7.7 s, behind the BMW M3 Competition xDrive).

How much does the A4 40 TDI cost to run?#

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a Bmw 420d instead?#

The Bmw 420d leads in Combined consumption (4.2 L/100 vs 4.7 L/100). The choice depends on your priorities: check the A4 40 TDI vs Bmw 420d duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?#

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
