Default Average fuel economy for SQ7??!!

I've got 800 miles on my 2021 SQ7 and long range MPG is saying 11.4.... WTF? Is this accurate?

What type of driving?

I'm in Vancouver and with our Q7, the 3.0 only gets 13.3mpg per the car comp...based on what I get with my Q7 if I had your SQ7 personally I'd be happy! LOL.

Just regular everyday mixed city and HW driving sometimes a bit spirited but certainly not the track

Audi states 15 city and 21 HW. I am nowhere close to that

My long term average is 12.7 L/100 KM since I got my SQ7. I have 10,000 Km on it. That works out to 18.5 MPG.

Sorry OP, but you bought a 5000+ lb 4.0L twin turbo V8 3-row SUV and you are complaining about MPGs? No sympathy here.

My 3.0L V6 single turbo S5 cabriolet gets less than 14mpg around town but can easily do 28+ mpg on long highway trips in cruise control. I would keep driving it for another 1000-2000 miles and report back. Additionally see what it says in short term memory on a highway trip after resetting it right when you get on the highway. I bet you will be pleasantly surprised...

Agreed. I get no more than ~25 mpg in my Q7 but that is on skinny snow tires on long highway trips. It averages out under 20mpg for sure all the time on almost every trip (unless I do 100s of miles on the highway at a time).

I have about 3800 miles on mine, and I’m averaging about 18 for the life of it, most of which is spirited and in the suburbs. On highway trips, I get between 20 & 21.

2500 miles on mine. 115-18 around town. 20-21 hwy.

I can go from the Bay Area to tahoe, drive around up there (several 7000+ foot passes) and get about 20. Towed aTesla Roadster (~5000lbs) back down from Tahoe three weeks ago and got 18.5 avg

Around town it sucks, yes - but sounds so good and takes just about anything off the line. 12-18ish, maybe. My wife is in the single digits sometimes. I love her - such a bad *** - but I am seeing more brake dust.

On the highway - respectable 22ish and that was loaded down for the first long road trip.

While gas is cheap, I'm going out with a loud growl guzzle. Next time it will be silent electric.
