What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Audi A3?
2 Answers
Audi A3 currently has 14 models on sale. Among them, 7 models including the Audi A3-2022-A3L-Limousine-35-TFSI Premium Elegance, Entry Elegance, RS Edition Speed, Fashion Sport, Premium Sport, Fashion Elegance, and Entry Sport, equipped with a 150-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 9.1L per 100 kilometers. Another 7 models including the Audi A3-2022-Sportback-35-TFSI Entry Elegance, RS Edition Speed, Fashion Elegance, Premium Elegance, Fashion Sport, Entry Sport, and Premium Sport, also equipped with a 150-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 9L per 100 kilometers. Different models of the Audi A3 have the same fuel tank capacity. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 150-horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 51L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 51/9.1*100=560km. For models equipped with a 150-horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 51L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 51/9*100=567km. 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 engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel 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 temperatures: When the engine block is cold, 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 A3 for almost three years, with an average fuel consumption of around 7 liters per 100 kilometers. In city traffic jams, it might rise to 8 liters, while on highways it can drop below 6 liters. It mainly depends on the engine type. My 1.5T gasoline version has sufficient power for daily city commuting, though it consumes more fuel at traffic lights. It's especially fuel-efficient on weekend long trips. I recommend regular maintenance of the air filter and tire pressure, as keeping them normal can save about 0.5 liters of fuel. Driving habits are also crucial—light throttle and less sudden braking can extend the range by dozens of kilometers. Overall, the A3's fuel consumption is above average among compact cars, making it economical and practical.
