Specifications

Explanatory notes
¹
The figure given was calculated using the specified measuring procedure (current version of
Directive 80/1269/EEC).
²
You will find specifications on the technical characteristics of tyres in the adjacent table.
³ Unladen vehicle weight includes driver (68 kg), 7 kg of luggage and fuel tank 90 % full, calculated in
accordance with the current version of EC Directive 92/21/EEC. Optional equipment may increase the car's
unladen weight and drag coefficient, whereupon the possible payload limit and the top speed will be
reduced accordingly.
⁴ The engine’s power output always decreases with increasing altitude. At 1,000 m above sea level,
and for every additional 1,000 m, deduct 10 % from the weight of the outfit (trailer load limit + gross
weight of the towing vehicle). Figure for trailer load limit applies to factory-fitted trailer towing hitch.
If using the vehicle with a trailer towing hitch for commercial purposes, a digital tachograph may be
required under certain conditions.
⁵ A vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions do not just depend on how efficiently the vehicle uses the
fuel, but are also influenced by driving behaviour and other non-technical factors. CO₂ is the greenhouse
gas primarily responsible for global warming.
⁶
Regulated.
⁷ We recommend using sulphur-free super unleaded RON 95 in accordance with DIN EN 228. If this is not
available, use sulphur-free regular unleaded RON 91 in accordance with DIN EN 228; power output will be
slightly reduced. Unleaded RON 95 fuel with a maximum ethanol content of 10 % (E10) can generally be
used. Fuel consumption details refer to operation with RON 95 fuel in accordance with 692/2008/EC.
⁸ We recommend using sulphur-free diesel in accordance with DIN EN 590. If not available: use diesel in
accordance with DIN EN 590.
⁹ The figures given were calculated using the specified measuring procedures. The figures do not refer to
one individual vehicle and do not form part of any offer, but rather should be used purely for purposes of
comparison between the different vehicle models.
¹⁰ Refill the separate AdBlue® tank as indicated by the information in the display of the instrument cluster.
We recommend having the AdBlue tank refilled by your Audi partner (about every 15,000 km).
¹¹ Briefly.
Important note
Inspections are due as shown by the service display.
Classifications of tyre parameters
The table shows the range of fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise emission classes for the different tyre sizes
of the Audi A8, A8 hybrid, A8 L hybrid, A8 L, A8 L W12 and Audi S8.
It is not possible to order a specific tyre.
Please ask your Audi partner about the range available in your country.
