2019 Audi A5 Sportback 40 TFSI (190 HP) TEST DRIVE

[@davidcasas3862]

This car has a gearbox with very long developments. Most part of the time works under 3.000 rpm, very similar to a diesel engine but with the good sound of a petrol engine. If someone would have told me years ago that there will be a petrol car with 190cv that would have 3.6 l/100 km of consumption at 100 km/h I would have told him:" you're mad Bud" .Good test as ever!!!!!

[@Scythra]

3.6l/100km is a bit too generous on the estimation. I have this car and I drive a 100km/u max speed limit road everyday to work and I hit 4.9/5.2l/100km avg.

[@TheUniformGreen]

@@Scythra still, this is a really good consumption. I have a 2011 A5 sportback 2.0 TDI 170hp and I get 5.5-6l at 120km/h.

[@vladmihai306]

this is also thanks to the engine technologies...it has variable timing on the intake and on the exhaust. it has budack cycle. it also has direct injection and also high compression ratio of about 10-11:1, which is quite high for a turbo petrol. it has AVS, audi valve lift system. it has dual injection system, MPI and FSI. it has variable oil pump. it has a lot of technologies borrowed from the diesel engines, hence the results. Also, petrol engines do not need so many injection stages in order to make them burn clean, so a diesel wastes fuel for reaching good noxes, whereas petrol cars don't need to. i think overall petrol engines are superior in the end. this engine has no EGR, it achieves the EGR effect by valves overlapping their in/out timing. this engine heats up super fast when cold. it runs also very smooth, no need for a huge flywheel like in a diesel. it doesn't need a big dpf, just a simple gpf which doesn't regenerate. it doesn't need SCR and adblue. torque can be increased even further to be similar to a diesel IF engine manufacturers move to variable geometry turbos, like VW has on 1.5 TSI and also basically all diesel engines. Variable geometry turbo allows you to create more boost at lower revs hence giving the feeling of diesel engine to a petrol engine at lower rpms. and also fuel consumption can be further reduced by stronger hybridization, like honda, toyota are doing already. diesels do not really bode well to hybrid systems, because hybrids require a lot of engine on/off cycles and diesels are not that balanced and happy when restarting. also particulates are quite high when diesel starts so...only petrol engines are suited for hybrids. this ended up being a long rant, but yeah, these petrol engines have come a long way and driving one, you could swear it's a diesel.

@@vladmihai306 cum e cu consumul de ulei? Banuiesc ca ai unul din motoarele astea noi. Ma bate gandul sa imi iau un model asemanator, tot din generatia asta, 2.0 TFSI 190CP, doar ca stiu ca generatiile anterioare (EA888 gen 1 si gen 2) au avut consumuri exorbitante de ulei si asta ma cam sperie, de aia mi-am luat si diesel in loc de benzina pe masina mea.

[@Alex.Vasinca]

​@@TheUniformGreenEu am un arteon 2020 2.0 tsi 190, practic același motor, dar așezat transversal. Am 10k km de la ultima revizie și nu a mâncat gram de ulei la condus 60%extraurban 40%intraurban. Și pe lângă asta e destul de eficient în exterior. La un drum de 1300 km pana în grecia, mers 130 140 pe ACC a consumat 5.9 și la drum național mers pana în 100 110 sib 5,5. E super ok motorul și trage suficient de bine pentru cât e caroseria.

[@razvan4162]

Very good consumption 👍 and nice top speed

[@mohamedmaaroufi4715]

Thanks for this video 😍😍

[@AlessioSpaggiari]

Came after fiesta st video....surprised by the consumption!!!

[@EHCX___]

Auf das Video hab ich echt lange gewartet 😁 Wie fandet ihr den Wagen im allgemeinen? Was ist eure Meinung zu ihm?

[@TESTDRIVEFREAK]

Der wagen fährt richtig entspannt, lieber mit sommerreifen fahren, weil mit winterreifen ab 200 schwankt er links rechts abwechselnd

[@isaiahdeshazier1520]

Nice video! & nice car 💯

[@baryfmarhg8023]

Seher gut video, was kostet Inspektion?

[@daveb0789]

I wonder why the fuel consumption is so good - maybe it’s not accurate ? 2 litre turbo engines are very thirsty.

[@TESTDRIVEFREAK]

this audi has mild hybrid system and yes it was very economical, even 1-2h high speed drive on german autobahn i have 8 liter

[@Mr11ESSE111]

@@TESTDRIVEFREAK so mild hybrid consume less then full hybrid in Corrola and others somehow? !! mild hybrid means nothing except advertising

[@_Pet_Tech]

EA888 cylinder deactivation

[@lennartl.445]

It has a very high compression ration (11,7:1), almost as high as Toyotas NA engines. That's why it's so efficient.

[@vladmihai306]

the 252 variant is thirsty because it lacks the high compression ratio like this one (190hp has). this also has budack cycle and some other extra stuff that make it highly efficient.

[@lukes-uf4bc]

Why not a 75 liter tank???? For real 1000km autonomy??

[@cmott8809]

I’m confused on your Range calculations, i usually get average 580km in combined cycle and 630 to 650 km on all highway driving at 130 mm, how are you gettin 1600+ range?

[@TESTDRIVEFREAK]

This is only theoretically possible, if all the way is very flat, no stopping atnlights or traffic and all time cruising at 80 kmh, average is 3.3 liter and fuel tank 54 liter. So thats possible range. Hypermiling. Maybe you live in area where lots hills? That cause higher fuel consumption and less range.

@@TESTDRIVEFREAK That's amazing! No need for diesel now but I expect engine feels a bit weak? Thanks so much for the excellent video and response

Hey testdrivefreak, headlamps are xenon or led? (Not the drl's, those are led for sure)

It is xenon, not fully LED package, bcs blinker has halogen lamp instead of led

you should learn how to drive (hands position, never seen that) !
