Not to mention you are going to need one heck of a data plan if you use it much.
I think you'd be surprised. I've got 10,000 miles on my 2015 Hyundai Sonata which has Android Auto in it. I have my hometown downloaded offline in Google Maps and anytime I am going to a new city I download that city offline as well. When Google switched to vector maps it really cut down the size of the map data drastically. I use Google Maps almost exclusively when I travel, about 25,000 miles a year, and it is not even in the top 10 of apps that use the most data on my phone.
The thing that will really add to your data quickly is streaming music and streaming podcast however there are multiple apps that are compatible with Android Auto that allow you to download content offline when you are on a Wi-Fi connection. I have hundreds of hours of music downloaded offline with Google Play Music and I have more hours of podcasts than I could possibly listen to downloaded as well so none of this takes any data while on the road.
