How far it is driven
Cars in the Audi A8 range cover about 20,500 km a year on average, measured from odometer readings at official roadworthiness inspections in Central Europe (about 4,800 cars, as of April 2026).
Divide a car's odometer reading by its age: a figure far below this average is worth checking against its mileage history.
Real-world fuel use
Fuel use measured by the cars' own on-board meters and reported under EU rules, for cars first registered 2021–2023, next to the official WLTP figure.
| Fuel | Measured | Official (WLTP) | Difference | Cars |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 12.6 l/100 km | 10.0 l/100 km | +27 % | ≈ 250 |
| Diesel | 8.8 l/100 km | 7.3 l/100 km | +21 % | ≈ 850 |
| Plug-in hybrid (petrol) | 9.3 l/100 km | 2.2 l/100 km | +318 % | ≈ 440 |
Plug-in hybrids use far more fuel than their official figure when they are rarely charged.
