Dear Sirs. I am very interested in purchasing an A5 1.8 TFSI engine with 170 hp. Apparently Audi has approved a consumption that are not own a vehicle of this power.

I would like to know What actual consumption you get. Without further ado, receive a cordial greeting.

Indeed, consumption approved by Audi for this new engine 170 hp on the body A5 Coupé They are more typical of a utility that is not a body of nearly 4.7 meters long. Officially, the German mark data encrypted urban consumption 7.4 l / 100 km, the medium 5.7 l / 100 km and interurban consumption in some surprising 4.8 l / 100 km. The truth is that these figures do not accurately correspond to reality, but they do give an overall idea of ​​the efficiency of each new engine in relation to competition, because all manufacturers homologated consumption figures with the same tests. But what is clear before reaching a test or deciding on the purchase of A5 TFSI 170 hp is that their consumption move in values ​​below the average of its potential rivals. We, after intensive testing with this engine unit, have verified that indeed the 1.8 TFSI It is a low-power engine, especially in relation to their excellent performance, although we did not manage to official figures. In town, we obtained an average consumption of 8,9 l / 100 km while road marker at sustained speed of 120 km / h, he stayed at a very reasonable 6,8 l / 100 km. Achieve lose 5 liters per 100 kilometers is virtually impossible, at least traveling at speeds close to the legal limits. Only if we “play” not to spend, not exceeding 100 km / h marker and coddling at all times the accelerator pedal, we could approach these 5 l / 100 km. In any case, if you decide on this model will not disappoint surely provides excellent performance … and your adjusted consumption.
