Fatal crashes in the US

From 2020 to 2023, 17 A8 vehicles were involved in crashes on US public roads in which someone died, and 6 people died inside them. These are counts, not crash rates: a model with more cars on the road shows up more often, and people killed outside the vehicle are not counted here.

Real-world fuel consumption

2,544 Audi A8 cars registered in Europe between 2021 and 2024 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Diesel hybrid versions average 8.5 l/100 km on the road, against 7.4 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 15% more. Plug-in hybrids use 9.4 l/100 km against 2.1 l/100 km on paper, with 19% of their distance covered with the engine off.

What it costs in fuel

On real-world figures the diesel hybrid Audi A8 uses 8.5 litres per 100 km, so 15,000 km a year takes about 1,270 litres: €2,876 at this week's average price in Germany, its largest market in Europe.
