Audi A8: real-world fuel consumption
Fuel meter readings from 2,566 Audi A8 cars reported in 2024, split by engine.
Excluding plug-in hybrids, the average is 9.1 L/100 km on the road against 7.9 officially (16% above official).
Lowest real-world consumption: Diesel hybrid · 210 kW (286 hp) at 8.5 L/100 km.
Every engine: official vs real
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hybrid · 250 kW (340 hp) | 278 | 9.5 | 11.5 | +21% |
| Diesel hybrid · 210 kW (286 hp) | 1,382 | 7.3 | 8.5 | +16% |
Engines with fewer than 100 cars in the data are not shown. Hybrid includes mild hybrids (48 V) as registered by the manufacturer.
Plug-in hybrid
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Electric share | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plug-in hybrid · 250 kW (340 hp) | 794 | 2.1 | 9.4 | 19% | +353% |
The official WLTP figure for plug-in hybrids assumes a share of electric driving based on range. When cars are charged less often than assumed, real consumption is far higher.
By reporting year
| cars | Real world | |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 407 | 9.2 |
| 2023 | 1,079 | 9.3 |
| 2024 | 1,772 | 9.1 |
The same cars are reported again each year with their lifetime totals, so years are not added together.
