What is the actual fuel consumption of the Q5L?
4 Answers
Audi Q5's actual average fuel consumption is 11L/100km. Factors affecting fuel consumption are as follows: Long-term high-speed driving: Long-term high-speed driving increases air resistance, thereby increasing fuel consumption. Higher vehicle weight: Higher vehicle weight and more items placed inside the car will increase the vehicle's load, thus increasing fuel consumption. Air filter: The air filter also affects the car's fuel consumption. When the air filter has not been replaced for a long time, clogging can affect the engine's air intake, which can also lead to increased fuel consumption.
I've been driving an Audi Q5L for two or three years now, and the real-world fuel consumption is quite honest. In city traffic, it's common to see 10 to 11 liters per 100 kilometers, and during peak hours, it can reach 12 liters, which makes driving a bit of a hassle. On the highway, if you drive steadily, it can drop to 7 to 7.5 liters, averaging around 8.5 to 9.5 liters overall. This is slightly higher than the official figures, but SUVs aren't exactly lightweight to begin with. Want to save fuel? I practice coasting and braking more often, check the air filter regularly, and don't overinflate the tires. Driving in the suburbs is the most cost-effective, with smooth acceleration and the ability to go dozens of kilometers further. Personally, I think as long as the drive is comfortable, I don't worry too much about fuel consumption. As a family car, it's pretty average.
As a careful driver, I find the actual fuel consumption of the Q5L fluctuates between 8 to 10 liters. In congested urban areas, it averages around 11 liters, and goes even higher with frequent traffic lights. On smooth highways, it easily reaches 7 liters, though the vehicle weight slightly drags it down. Based on my records, the monthly fuel bill stays stable at around 900 yuan. Fuel-saving tips include minimizing the use of air conditioning in external circulation and avoiding sudden braking, along with regular engine maintenance. Compared to other SUVs, the Q5L is fairly reliable among luxury models, with fuel consumption largely dependent on road conditions and driving habits. Prolonged low-speed driving also drains the battery faster, so extra maintenance attention is needed.
Driving the Q5L in the city often results in higher fuel consumption. During weekday rush hours, it frequently exceeds 11 liters per 100 km, averaging around 10 liters overall. On highways, it's more fuel-efficient, staying around 7.5 liters. Driving this car requires adapting to its rhythm—sudden acceleration tends to waste fuel. Using navigation to avoid traffic jams and keeping the car free of unnecessary weight helps. While it offers ample power, its fuel efficiency isn't as good as smaller cars. Regular maintenance of the fuel system can help reduce emissions. Overall, it's a balanced choice—if comfort is a priority, don't obsess over the numbers.
