What is the fuel tank capacity of an Audi?

Generally, the fuel tank capacity of small cars ranges from 35 to 45 liters, while that of mid-size cars is around 55 to 85 liters. A full tank typically allows a driving range of about 500 kilometers. The size of the fuel tank correlates with the car's fuel consumption: larger fuel consumption means a larger tank, and vice versa. Specifically, the Audi A6 has a fuel tank capacity of 73 liters, the Audi Q7L has an 85-liter tank, and the Audi Q5's tank capacity is 75 liters. Here are some tips for fuel tank maintenance: Drain any accumulated water and sediment from the tank, and check for oil leaks at the fuel pipe joints and switches. For fuel tank caps equipped with air valves and vapor valves, ensure that the vent holes are clear and unobstructed. The filter screen at the fuel filler inlet should remain intact to prevent impurities from entering the tank during refueling and clogging the fuel lines. The sealing gasket on the fuel filler cap should also be in good condition to prevent fuel spillage while driving. To check the remaining fuel level, observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the needle is close to 'E', it indicates low fuel, while nearing 'F' means the tank is nearly full.
As someone who has driven an Audi for several years, I find that fuel tank capacity significantly impacts the daily driving experience. I currently drive an A4 with a roughly 58-liter tank, averaging 8-10 liters per 100 km during city commutes. A full tank gives me about 550 km of range. For long trips, like weekend getaways, I prefer larger models like the Q7 with its 75+ liter tank—the extended range provides much more peace of mind. Audi models vary widely: the compact A3 holds around 55 liters, while the Q5 SUV offers approximately 65 liters. I make it a habit to refuel at half-tank using premium 95-octane gasoline to protect the engine, avoiding running on empty to prevent damage or roadside breakdowns. When buying used cars, tank size matters too—larger capacities suit frequent drivers.
