What is the fuel consumption of the Audi Q5 like?
3 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the Audi Q5 ranges from 10 to 14 liters per 100 kilometers. The above data is for reference only, as the actual fuel consumption may vary depending on factors such as the driver's habits, weather conditions, and road conditions. Below are some related details: 1. The average fuel consumption of the Audi Q5 can be viewed on the display. Press the SET button located slightly to the lower left of the instrument cluster to select the fuel consumption option, and the display in the center of the instrument cluster will show the fuel consumption data. 2. In general urban driving, the actual fuel consumption of the Audi Q5 is approximately 10-12 liters per 100 kilometers. In cities with severe traffic congestion, such as Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, and with the air conditioning on, the consumption can reach 20-25 liters or more. On highways, the fuel consumption is around 8-9 liters per 100 kilometers. Therefore, the combined fuel consumption is 10-14 liters. 3. For an SUV weighing 1.9 tons, this fuel consumption is quite good. However, there are many factors that can affect fuel consumption, such as road conditions, traffic congestion, weather, air conditioning usage, wind resistance, the weight of passengers and cargo, driving habits, and fuel quality. Thus, the 10-14 liter range is only a reference value and not an absolute figure.
Having driven the Audi Q5 for over a year now, the fuel consumption in city traffic is indeed quite high. My 40TFSI model averages around 11 liters per 100 kilometers overall, and can reach up to 14 liters during severe morning and evening rush hour traffic. However, it's quite fuel-efficient on highways, with cruise control set at 120 km/h consuming only about 7.5 liters. It's slightly higher than the sedan I drove before, but considering this is a four-wheel-drive SUV, the fuel consumption is normal. I usually pay attention to my driving habits, avoiding sudden braking and congested routes, which can reduce the consumption to around 10 liters. As for fuel, 95 octane is sufficient. With current high fuel prices, my monthly fuel cost is about 1,500 yuan, and I'm considering switching to private gas stations to save some money.
Our family often goes on road trips, and our old Q5 has been running strong for five years with its 45TFSI engine. During a test drive on National Highway 318 with full load and air conditioning on, it consumed 12 liters per 100 km on uphill sections, while only 8 liters on flat highways. For daily school runs in the city, the average is 10-12 liters. In a special test, a full tank could last 700 km on highways, but only 400+ km in pure city driving. As for drawbacks, the start-stop system doesn't noticeably save fuel. It's advisable to check tire pressure before long trips, as low pressure can increase fuel consumption by 1 liter. The newer models are said to be more fuel-efficient, with the 48V mild hybrid system saving a significant amount.
