The most I got out of one tank was about 1400 miles. That was plugging in at home and plugging in at work. 23 electric miles in the summer when the battery is warmer is what you will get in full electric and in the teens in the winter on a full charge. 28 bucks to fill the 10.5gallon fuel tank. Love this car it has almost eliminated my fuel budget. Pretty much tap down the transmission to stop it at red lights so dont use my brakes much. They might last to 100k before needing redone. I put custom 19s on it and it looks great! My 3 year lease is up in 5 month and I will be buying it out. - WA UPDATE: Best car I've ever owned and I used to be an Audi salesperson for 15 years. Mileage is fantastic and she is a looker with the 19's I put on it. Literally my only complaint is my local Audi service department sucks. I've tried to get in for recalls and haven't been able to so I just drive on without recall fixes which doesn't really matter. Just about to hit 70k and I am the original owner. I bought it when I worked at Audi because it had the best sales incentives on the lot and we couldn't give them away at the time. Fast forward to the last couple years where gas has been through the roof this thing is a lifesaver. Love it!! Would buy another used one since they only made these in 16 17 and 2018. Full Electric is not the way to go, plug in hybrid is the best. Best driving too I would give is clock the shifter between sport and drive as the brake rather then braking and you will feel it slow you and preserve your rotors and pads ALOT!!!!! Audi brake squeak in cold sometimes happens which is prevalent in all Audis.

The ev range appears to be pretty much as advertised. Upon starting a trip, you have the option of selecting ev only, hybrid, or maintain battery. If your trip is ~20miles, the ev only works well. If it is over ~20 miles, then selecting hybrid appears to net between 60 - 70 mpg. Running purely on gas it appears to be in the region of 40 - 45 mpg. The ride is pure Audi - very quick and secure. Other then the increased mpg, there is no difference between the feel of this car verses a pure gas version. The integration of the electric and gas engines is completely smooth - you can't tell when one starts and the other leaves off. Very well done! I have had the car for a year and it has been flawless. Because of where I live (nearest town is 14 mile RT, large town is 50 miles RT) I have gotten as low as 60, and as high as 100 mpg on a fill up of gas. This does not take into account what it costs to charge the car, but we have not noticed any change in our electric bill since having the car, so the electric cost to recharge is negligible. It is a pleasure to drive.

This car is awesome in ev mode. Very quiet with excellent acceleration. It's even better in sport mode using the gas and electric engines. In hybrid mode, anytime you lift off the gas the engine shuts down, the car coasts effortlessly . There is a little engine noise on the highway but not too bad. Engine restart is quiet and vibration free. Sport seats are very comfortable with four way lumbar adjustments. Once you figure out the menus, bt connection with streaming works flawlessly. I only wish that there was more than about 23 miles in ev mode.

I leased this car 6 months ago and don't regret it, at all. I had an S3 prior and the savings each month for fuel total over $100. I fill up my e-tron once a month at a total cost of around $28 per trip to the gas station. That's Los Angeles gas prices, too. It's a very sought after vehicle (I work for a local Audi dealer) and I know this car holds it's value well. We can't keep them in stock. If you can get your hands on one, get it! You won't regret it. Plus there is the tax credit for getting one that's $1,500 in your pocket. I also have the clean air stickers too that added value to my car for spending a measly $22.

Bought new in Feb 2107. Sweet ride all along! Comfortable, 210 hp off the 1.4 L turbo + electric combined. At the time the best power for a small PHEV. Over 110k kilometres the average fuel consumption is 3.8 L/100 km. Live in cold climate, snow and winter ice with snow tires for 5 months each year so I liked the results. On full electric could get between 35-40 km in warm summer weather. Only 18-25 in winter. Do not kid yourself, Every EV is challenged in cold/snowy climates. Trouble with check engine light in first 2 years. Audi eventually fixed. Trouble free car for me. Luv the Tecknik package, adaptive cruise, etc. Nav systems always overestimates time to destination when first setting out. My particular car was a great buy!!
