What is the fuel tank capacity of the A4?
4 Answers
Currently, there are 17 models of the Audi A4 available for sale. The quattro version has a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters, while other versions have a capacity of 56 liters. This data is provided by the car manufacturer, and owners of the Audi A4 can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Audi A4 requires 95-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.1 to 7.3 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 795 to 918 kilometers. During daily driving, it is important to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
I've been driving an Audi A4 for quite some years. Its fuel tank capacity is usually 54 or 58 liters, depending on the year and engine model. My 2019 model has a 55-liter tank, which is quite well-designed. A full tank can last about 450 kilometers in the city and easily 600 kilometers on the highway. It's especially worry-free for long trips with fewer refueling stops, but you need to watch out for fuel price fluctuations—I usually use an app to find cheaper gas stations. The fuel filler neck tends to get dusty sometimes, so regular cleaning is necessary to avoid oil leaks. As for fuel consumption, it averages around 9 liters per 100 kilometers, but it spikes quickly in heavy traffic—at that point, even a large tank capacity doesn’t help much. I’d suggest choosing based on your daily needs rather than just going for a bigger tank; overall fuel economy is more important. All in all, the Audi A4 handles this aspect quite thoughtfully.
From a data perspective, the mainstream fuel tank capacity of the Audi A4 ranges between 54 to 58 liters, with a standard capacity typically around 55 liters. This design balances fuel consumption and driving range, allowing a full tank to support an average distance of 500 to 700 kilometers, depending on whether it's a 1.4T or 2.0T engine. In terms of materials, aluminum alloy fuel tanks are lightweight and durable, with slightly higher costs compared to steel ones. I've done the math: at current fuel prices, a full tank costs approximately 450 yuan, and highway driving saves about 20% more fuel than city driving. However, a larger capacity may have drawbacks, such as slightly reduced trunk space and a higher risk of spillage during refueling. It's advisable to choose a car based on daily usage; for frequent urban commuting, a slightly smaller tank might offer more flexibility. Additionally, regular checks of the fuel tank's seal are recommended to prevent leaks.
As a young person, I am very concerned about the cost of car ownership. The Audi A4 typically has a fuel tank capacity of 54 or 58 liters. My 2.0T model has a 55-liter tank, and with fuel consumption controlled at 8-10 liters per 100 kilometers, a full tank can easily cover over 600 kilometers, making it unnecessary to refuel frequently for commuting or short trips. When fuel prices are high, fewer refueling stops become a cost-saving advantage. From an environmental perspective, a smaller fuel tank contributes to lighter weight, reducing both fuel consumption and emissions. It's advisable to regularly clean the fuel tank opening during maintenance to prevent dust and dirt from affecting performance. Overall, the design is quite modern, and such cars will become increasingly rare with the future shift to electric vehicles, making it worthwhile to enjoy them sooner.
