Audi A4 fuel consumption

Expert answer:
Quick answer
An Audi A4, using turbo four-cylinder engines, often gets around 25 to 30 mpg combined. Some diesel variants in Europe push mid-30s if driven moderately.
Detailed answer
Audi’s A4 typically employs 2.0-liter TFSI engines with direct injection and turbocharging. Combined mpg in the mid- to upper-20s is common, though gentle highway runs might see around 30 mpg. If you pick Quattro AWD, you lose 1–2 mpg compared to FWD versions.
In Europe, diesel A4s can surpass 35 mpg if speeds remain moderate. Routine service—oil changes, spark plug or glow plug checks, and tire pressure—keeps consumption stable. Driving style is key: high-speed cruising or sporty acceleration devours more fuel. The A4’s interior comfort and brand cachet often outweigh the modest difference from a non-luxury sedan. For a balanced premium experience with respectable mpg, the A4 stands tall, especially if you adopt a light foot.
