What is the fuel consumption displayed on the Audi A3 dashboard?
2 Answers
Audi A3 1.4T manual transmission has a fuel consumption of 5.5L, 1.4T automatic transmission consumes 5.4L, and 1.8T automatic transmission consumes 6.6L. Fuel consumption introduction: Fuel consumption generally refers to constant-speed fuel consumption. It represents the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained in constant-speed driving fuel consumption tests for certain types of vehicles. Audi A3 introduction: The Audi A3 is a sedan produced by Audi, featuring lightweight design and aluminum materials in its body. It is equipped with multiple engines including 1.4TFSI and 1.8TFSI. The vehicle includes an ESP system, direct gasoline-injected FSI six-cylinder engines, high-torque TDI technology with injector injection, combined with DSG gear-shift transmission and clutch, 5-speed and 6-speed automatic transmissions, a new tiptronic automatic transmission, and optional four-wheel drive.
As an Audi A3 owner for four years, I've observed two types of fuel consumption display logic on the dashboard. The real-time fuel consumption dynamic bar graph fluctuates too drastically to be useful, so I mainly rely on long-term memory data. My 1.4T model maintains around 7.2L in urban commuting and drops to 5.8L on highways. However, during a two-hour traffic jam, it once soared to 9.3L, which is heavily influenced by driving modes—the transmission upshifts particularly aggressively in Eco mode. A word of advice: don't trust the 'since start' short-term data too much, as it doesn't even include idle fuel consumption during warm-up. The most accurate method is to reset the trip odometer after a full tank and calculate the actual fuel consumption at the next refill. The dashboard reading is generally about 0.5L lower than the real value.
