What is the fuel tank capacity of the Audi A5?

Audi A5 Fashion model has a fuel tank capacity of 54 liters, while the A5 Dynamic model has a 58-liter tank. These figures are officially released data. The Audi A5 requires 95-octane fuel. The Fashion model has a fuel consumption of 6.3-6.5L per 100 km, allowing a driving range of 830-857 km on a full tank. The A5 Dynamic model consumes 7-7.2L per 100 km, providing a range of 805-828 km on a full tank. During daily driving, it's essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments. It's recommended to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. In actual refueling situations, the amount of fuel may exceed the nominal capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, leaving some space between the safety level and the tank opening. This space ensures that fuel expansion due to temperature increases won't cause overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel quantity may exceed the nominal tank capacity.
I remember when driving my Audi A5, the fuel tank capacity was around 58 liters, with slight variations depending on the model year—for instance, the 2023 model has this exact figure. I use it for commuting, and the urban fuel consumption is relatively high, approximately 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, while on the highway it drops to 6 to 7 liters. As a result, a full tank can last for 400 to 500 kilometers, which is enough for one or two weeks. I don’t refuel often, just once a month, saving me the hassle of frequent gas station visits. For those who frequently drive long distances, I’d recommend planning the route carefully to avoid running low on fuel in remote areas. The tank size is well-designed—not too large to take up space and add weight, nor too small to risk running out midway. Audi has struck a good balance here, making the driving experience quite reassuring.
