Great video. I have the previous generation model (also 3.0 TDI Quattro) and the best I can get out of it is around 6.7l/100 at around 120. Will be upgrading at some point but good to see it'll actually save me fuel as well.

Is the average consumption by computer or real consumption as filling the tank? Mine shows 7,4 longterm consumption but real consumtion by filling tank never seen under 8,4l/100km. 90% higway 100-120km/h
Please which consume much fuel audi a6 2tfsi (177) or audi a6 3.0TDI(204)...im planning to buy an a6 2014...but as i have seen on mobile. de 2tfsi consume much more fuel.how’s that possible???
Yes, it is if you take the United States MPG. If you take the imperial gallons (UK, Canada), 4,8l per 100km would result in 58,85mpg. So I guess your example concerns Imperial gallons?
Why is showing this it is nature of car or something wrong ? Can anyone please reply me as automatically came into my car as well i got audi a6 saloon how to hide this or it comes itself?? Thank you
Difficult to tell you, as personal preference does play a big role in the answer. In general I like the BMW better, as it is more fun to drive and the ergonomics (of the iDrive system) are a bit better.
My car almost never shifts the redline to over 4600 rpm starts at 4200 and goes to 4600.. your car on the other hand has 5000 rpm redline.. My car is 2014 3.0 TDI with 8spd auto
My accord 2.2 ctdi 2007 goes: `city -- max 50km/h = 8L/100km avg.`, `secondary road -- max 100km/h = 6L/100km avg.` , `highway -- max 130km/h = 5-5.5L/100km avg.` max torque @ 2000rpm so id never drive her higher than 2100rpm unless overtaking or accelerating. Every gearshift in city is made at ~1300-2000 rpm depending of the load(gravity+physical load) and every gearshift at highway is made at ~2000-3500rpm depending of the load(gravity+physical load+acceleration) , also downhill, we all know whats happening then/there
hi, nice videos, i've subscribed your channel long ago. It would be nice if you did instant fuel at steady high speeds too, because consumption when accelerating it's somewhat misleading. keep up the good work., a fan
@@e.demirovic hmmm but 3.0tdi doesnt have battery like hybrids) so very interesting. as well as i still dont understand the main function of Efficiency driving mode and for example, a7 3.0tdi doesn't have this mode, but a6 3.0 tdi does
It rolls the car much much further then normal. It turns the engine off when possible. And when it rolls it works on battery power, not a hybrid system but the ignition battery.
***** Thanks for answering my question however I've now done my own Investigations a few days ago and I've now realized it does improve fuel efficiency considerably around 10 to 15% (for the regular driver) like me I know some people have the skills to beat computers even when playing chess , in my case computers are always kicking my but I've tested this with a app called torque which connects to the OBD (Instant mpg ) I tend to Exaggerate on the accelerator especially going up Hill and some times it can take 5 or 6 mph down to realize I have to accelerate again and waste even more fuel to get to the speeds I was doing in the first place
niceguy60 man...don't listen to any....the answer is IT DEPENDS...if you are tempered without cruse you can improve MPG...if you can't control the throttle don't bother...cruise is best for over 80% of drivers....
niceguy60 it's also dependent on the car's cruise system. Some are programmed better than others. For example, my Saab 9-5 2.0t has a great cruise system, as it gets near the target speed it reduces acceleration gradually until it reaches it. This leads to great fuel saving. My Renault Grand Scenic 1.5dci on the other hand is a beast. It goes full throttle until it reaches the target speed but by the time it disengages it has already overshoot by a few miles so it closes the throttle completely, causing a slowdown which makes the car too slow and misses the target speed again, so again it accelerates. It takes a few attempts to manage to stay at constant speed.
Mircea Dogaru I believe I have exactly the same cruise control system on my Renault Laguna from 2011 , 1.5 dci I know exactly what you mean, when you mentioned the cruise control is eager to reach a certain speed However once it reaches the desired speed is pretty good at maintaining it, I also noticed it tries to save fuel going down hill, when engine load being reduced in some cases to 0%
houd je er ook rekening mee dat het aangeven verbruik nooit het echte verbruik is maar het door de fabrikant opgeveven is. echte verbruik kan je alleen meten door bij de pomp auto helemaal vol te gooien en dan je kilometers te delen. mijn skoda 1.8t zegt zelf gemiddeld 7.5L/100km ga je tanken 1 op 10.5....
Charles Macgilchrist Energy consumption is always higher if you have to accelerate often... Energy from a moving car is 1/2mass x (velocity x velocity).... You always have to pump Energy in the system to accelerate a mass... Electro car same as fuel.... The e engine is only more efficient

Bro you can't compare a 2.0d with a 3.0 d, your 520 has 163 or 177 hp but a 3.0 has between 230-245 hp. How te bigger is engine the consumption grow up.
This should be the standard for every "fuel consumption" video out there. Thank you!

80km/h -> 1100 RPM 😱
100km/h = 1500 rpm, 300 km/h = 4500 rpm.
1200
It is maybe a 1400 when I drive 110

impressive at High speed...nice score
I think i will give a try with audi i never had one and i kinda love this model A6 3.0 tdi s-line quattro.
That thing is a beast 💪
Isn't that bar your looking at, the electical power from the the Alternator ?
wow thats highly impressive .. my 2.5tdi uses a LOT more fuel/100km
i might consither upgrading soon
I wonder if petrols will ever make a come back. Great car by the way and one day I will own one.
5 year later, i think the answer is yes

so according to your video its more economical to drive this car rather than a4 tdi with 130hp, makes sense...
