Fuel consumption: Audi A6 3.0 TDI Avant quattro Facelift (4G - C7 / MY2019)

Model (Code / Model Year): Audi A6 3.0 TDI Avant quattro Facelift (4G - C7 / MY2018)

Engine: 6-cylinder Turbo charged V6 diesel engine (2967cm³) - Engine code: VW EA897 evoTransmission: 7-speed S-tronic automatic transmissionPerformance: 272hp (200kW) / 580Nm0 to 100km/h: 5.7 secTop speed: 250km/h (155mp/h)Weight: 1835 kgFuel tank (US gallons): 73 liters (19.28 US gallons)

The video below shows the approximate fuel consumption at different (constant) speeds. However, I drove this particular car for a 5.000 kilometer trip to Southern France and back. During this trip most of the kilometers have been driven on the highway, at speeds of around 130km/h, but it also included stretches going to 200km/h (not in France of course). The calculated fuel consumption during this trip averaged out at 7.51l / 100km, which doesn't seem to be too bad of a 1.835kg car with a 6-cylinder diesel engine and all wheel drive.

In the video I did a test of the consumption at different speeds. Aim of this test is not to give an exact specification of the fuel consumption of this car, but to show an approximation of the fuel consumption under real life circumstances. As the result also depends on tyres, size of the rims, road condition, weather and equipment that may alter the exact weight of the car, your personal experience may differ from mine.

Fuel Consumption: Audi A6 3.0 TDI (MY 2012 / C7)

In 2012 Audi has introduced the new A6, in this blog Guitigefilmpjes has taken an Audi A6 3.0 TDI with 204hp to the road in order to see how the fuel economy is. Technical details about this engine type can be found below:

Engine: 6-cylinder (V6) diesel engine (2967 cm3) 
Transmission: stepless automatic Multitronic CVT-transmission
Performance: 204hp / 400nm
0 to 100km/h: 7,2sec
Top speed: 240km/h (150mp/h)
Fuel tank (US gallons): 65 liter (17.17 US gallons)

In the picture below, the transmission was put into efficiency mode, where it revs lower and shifts gear earlier. The driving profile was 15% inner city traffic and 85% secondary road at a maximum speed of 85km/h (53mp/h). 

After having drivin about 90 kilometers (56 miles) the onboard computer displayed an average consumption of 5,3l / 100km (44,38 mpg US). Considering that the average fuel consumption specified by Audi is 5,1l / 100km, the result is merely 0,2l / 100km off.

The second picture displays the average fuel consumption for several trips combined. The driving profile was divided by 15% Autobahn (fast), 50% highway, 15% inner city and 30% secondary road using the `normal` driving mode. 

After having drivin about 1655 kilometers (1035 miles) the onboard computer displayed an average consumption of 7.2l / 100km (32,7 mpg US). Considering that Audi states that its average consumption for a combined driving profile is 6.1l / 100km, the gap widens as `heavier` driving conditions (lots of braking and acceleration in the city, fast runs on the Autobahn) prevail.

Previous Fuel Consumption reports:

• Audi A4 2.0 TDI / Audi A6 3.0 TDI / Mercedes Benz E220 CDI
• BMW 530d xDrive / Mercedes Benz C220 CDI
• Mercedes Benz C180 / VW Passat 1.4 TSI / BMW 520d Touring
