Real-world fuel consumption

28,852 Audi Q5 cars registered in Europe between 2021 and 2024 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Diesel hybrid versions average 7.4 l/100 km on the road, against 6.5 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 13% more. Plug-in hybrids use 7.3 l/100 km against 1.7 l/100 km on paper, with 24% of their distance covered with the engine off.
