What is the actual fuel consumption of the Audi Q8?
2 Answers
Audi Q8 has a total of 7 models on sale. Among them, the Audi Q8-2022-45-TFSI-Luxury Dynamic and Premium Dynamic models, equipped with a 245 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 8.7L per 100km. The Audi Q8-2022-55-TFSI-Luxury Dynamic, Premium Dynamic, Ice & Snow Sport Edition, Exclusive Dynamic, and Night Knight Hall Edition models, equipped with a 340 horsepower engine, also have an NEDC fuel consumption of 8.7L per 100km. The seven different models of the Audi Q8 have the same fuel tank capacity. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Both the models with the 245 horsepower engine and those with the 340 horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 85L. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is 85/8.7*100=977km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacement engines generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement engines because larger displacement usually means greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight will also have higher fuel consumption because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving an Audi Q8 for two years, and the actual fuel consumption depends on usage. Mainly driving in the city with frequent traffic jams, the consumption can reach 13 to 15 liters per 100 kilometers, but drops to around 10 liters when traffic is smooth. It's most fuel-efficient on long highway trips, averaging about 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers. My car is the gasoline 3.0T version, and the quattro system provides stability on slippery roads, though it slightly increases fuel consumption. Using air conditioning or carrying heavy loads also raises consumption. I recommend gentle acceleration and avoiding sudden speed boosts to save fuel. Overall, the Q8 offers strong performance and a thrilling drive, but with monthly fuel costs ranging from 1,500 to 2,000 yuan, budget considerations are necessary.
