Is a fuel consumption of 12 L/100km in urban areas normal for the Lavida?
2 Answers
Lavida urban fuel consumption of 12 L/100km is within the normal range. Here is a detailed introduction about the Lavida: 1. Overview: The Lavida is a sedan produced by Shanghai Volkswagen and was launched in June 2008. While continuing the design language of "dynamic and stylish" in the A-segment car market, the Lavida embodies a new design DNA—"fusion." 2. Others: As a new car tailor-made for Chinese consumers, the Lavida not only maintains the excellent quality of German design but also incorporates many aesthetic concepts reflecting traditional Chinese culture and cutting-edge design elements.
I think the fuel consumption of 12L/100km for the Lavida in urban driving is slightly high but not abnormal. My car is a 2018 1.5L automatic, and during peak hours commuting to and from work with frequent traffic jams, the fuel consumption fluctuates between 10-12L. Driving habits have a significant impact, such as aggressive acceleration and braking or using the air conditioning, which consumes more fuel. It also tends to increase in cold weather. It's advisable to regularly check tire pressure to maintain the standard value or to accelerate and decelerate gently to save some fuel costs. If you often drive on highways or in suburban areas, this number will decrease. In summary, 12L is on the high side but acceptable. Paying attention to driving style can be more economical, especially given the demanding urban road conditions on the car.
