How the 2016 Audi A7 Sportback running costs are calculated

Every figure on this page is calculated from official certified data — nothing is estimated, and no figure is carried over from a similar car:

• Consumption and CO₂ are the certified values recorded in UK VCA merged archive, measured on the NEDC test cycle, taken across the 2 configurations held for this model-year.
• Annual cost is consumption × distance × the market's current average price for diesel, at 15,000 km a year.
• The roadworthiness test and road tax use the France national figures shown above. This market has no annual road tax for private cars, so none is charged here.
• Deliberately excluded: insurance, servicing, tyres, repairs and depreciation. They depend on the driver, the policy and the individual car, so putting a number on them would mean inventing one.
