Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Good compromise for regular use without available charging infrastructure. 13th of 88 in Combined consumption (4.7 L/100).

Less suitable for

Some metrics lag behind the segment. Check the rankings above to identify weak points.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is Combined consumption, the BMW 420d (1st with 4.2 L/100) takes the lead. If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the BMW M3 Competition xDrive (1st with 3.5 s) takes the lead.

Fuel consumption: 4.7 L/100 L/100 (13th of 88 in Combined consumption)

The A4 40 TDI consumes 4.7 L/100 on the WLTP combined cycle. The segment reference is the BMW 420d (4.2 L/100).

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.

Among the 88 saloons 2018–2022, the A4 40 TDI ranks 13th of 88 in Combined consumption (4.7 L/100, behind the BMW 420d), 77th of 88 in 0–100 km/h (7.7 s, behind the BMW M3 Competition xDrive).

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

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.

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.
