How many kilometers can a Volkswagen Tiguan run on a full tank of gas?
2 Answers
A Volkswagen Tiguan has a 63-liter fuel tank and can run 600 to 700 kilometers on a full tank. However, the actual distance may vary depending on factors such as driving habits and road conditions. Methods to determine fuel consumption: You can check the fuel consumption through the car's dashboard, where F=full and E=empty. When the fuel warning light turns on, note the odometer reading and the amount of fuel refilled. When the fuel runs out again, record the odometer reading once more. Subtract the initial odometer reading from the current one and then divide by the amount of fuel consumed to calculate the fuel consumption. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Engine displacement is related to fuel consumption, but a higher fuel consumption does not necessarily mean a larger displacement. Relatively speaking, the size of a car's engine displacement does not directly correlate with fuel consumption. Besides displacement, factors such as the car's design, weight, and engine technology also significantly impact fuel consumption. Among vehicles with the same displacement, those with more advanced engine technology tend to be more fuel-efficient.
I drive an older 1.8T Tiguan, mostly for city commuting during heavy rush hour traffic with the AC often on. A full tank gets me around 550 km. On weekends when I take the highway, it's much more fuel-efficient—cruising at 100 km/h, I can go over 700 km on a full tank. Fueling habits matter too; I always wait until the fuel light comes on, and it takes about 58 liters. Interestingly, my friend drives a 2.0T 4WD Tiguan, which is noticeably thirstier—under the same conditions, he gets less than 500 km per tank. Fuel consumption also relates to maintenance; after replacing the spark plugs and cleaning the throttle body last time, my car burns almost 1 liter less per 100 km.
