How is the fuel consumption of the Tiguan?

[LeCassandra]

Not high, with a fuel consumption of 6.9~8.6L/100km. Here is more information about the Tiguan: 1. Power performance: Equipped with industry-leading 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI engines, delivering strong power and higher fuel efficiency. Thanks to the high-pressure direct injection technology, the 2.0TSI engine can output a maximum power of 147kW and a maximum torque of 280Nm. More importantly, the engine can reach peak torque at 1700rpm, combining the characteristics of small displacement with high power and high torque at low speeds. 2. Advantages: The turbocharged engine provides strong power, excellent handling performance, ample interior space, and the Tiguan inherits Volkswagen's family design features.

I've been commuting with my Tiguan for almost a year now. The fuel consumption is honestly quite high in city traffic jams - my 1.5T model averages around 11L/100km, and can even reach 12L during rush hours. However, it's much more comfortable on highways - maintaining 80km/h with cruise control gives me about 7L/100km, with my personal best being 6.8L. Using AC does increase consumption slightly, adding about 0.5L in summer. I recommend shifting to neutral at red lights and avoiding aggressive acceleration - developing these habits has helped me save nearly half a tank monthly. With 95-octane fuel being expensive now, eco mode can reduce consumption by 0.5L, though it does make the car feel less powerful.

After studying the fuel consumption data of many SUVs, the Tiguan is considered average among joint-venture vehicles. The 2.0T model consumes around 10-12 liters per 100km in city driving, with older models being even less fuel-efficient. Turbocharged engines do consume more fuel at low speeds, but their efficiency improves significantly at higher RPMs. To save fuel, pay attention to two key points: maintain tire pressure above 2.3 bar (otherwise fuel consumption increases by 5%), and use low-viscosity 0W-20 engine oil. Based on my actual tests, smooth acceleration saves over 1 liter per 100km compared to aggressive braking and acceleration. With its 60-liter fuel tank, driving conservatively can extend the range by 70-80 kilometers.

The fuel consumption of the Tiguan is average; I spend about 200 yuan more on gas each month compared to my colleagues who drive Japanese cars. In the city with the AC on, it's around 12 liters per 100 km, and 8 liters is enough on the highway. I recommend using an app to track fuel refills—once I found the fuel gauge was inaccurate, causing me to make extra trips to the gas station. When choosing a car, I recommend the 1.5T low-power version, which saves half a liter of fuel compared to the high-power version. Avoiding rush hour is crucial; the start-stop system doesn't save much fuel in traffic and actually drains the battery, so I turned it off. Cleaning the throttle body every 5,000 kilometers helps reduce carbon buildup and can lower fuel consumption a bit.

We've been driving the Tiguan at home for three years. It's spacious, but the fuel consumption is indeed higher than sedans. When going out with kids and carrying four roof racks, it can reach 11L/100km in the city. However, its performance on long trips is quite good. Last month's road trip with the AC on the whole way averaged 7.2L/100km. It's recommended to regularly change the air filter, as a dirty one can increase fuel consumption by 3%. While 92-octane fuel can be used, 95-octane is more fuel-efficient, with an actual cost difference of two cents per kilometer. In winter, don't warm up the car for more than a minute when starting cold, and gentle driving before the engine coolant reaches temperature is the most fuel-efficient.
