What is the fuel consumption of the Q5?
2 Answers
Audi Q5's actual fuel consumption ranges from 10-14 liters per 100 kilometers, with specific figures varying based on driving habits, weather conditions, and road situations. Detailed information is as follows: Fuel consumption under different road conditions: In urban areas, the Audi Q5 typically consumes around 10-12 liters per 100 km. In cities with severe traffic congestion and air conditioning usage, this can increase to 20-25 liters or more, while the average urban consumption is 11-14 liters. On highways, fuel consumption drops to 8-9 liters. Therefore, the combined average is 11-13 liters, which is quite good for an SUV weighing 1.9 tons. However, since numerous factors affect fuel consumption, the 10-14 liter range should be considered as a reference value rather than an absolute figure.
Last year, driving the older Q5L 40TFSI on long-distance trips, the dashboard showed a combined fuel consumption of 8.3L. However, it's a different story in the city—during morning and evening rush hours with heavy traffic, it often jumps above 13L. I recommend installing a fuel consumption app to track it. I tested the data over three months: gentle driving can keep it around 10L, but if you're impatient and floor the accelerator, you can literally see the fuel gauge drop. Pay special attention to the break-in period and winter, as fuel consumption tends to be higher. Additionally, the quattro system consumes about 0.8L more than the front-wheel-drive version. The 2023 new model with mild hybrid is said to save around 1L, but actual road conditions will determine the real savings.
