Is the Volkswagen Tiguan fuel-consuming?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Tiguan is fuel-consuming. According to the comprehensive fuel consumption data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Tiguan's combined fuel consumption is 8.1~9.6L/100km. However, based on the actual test data from some Tiguan owners, its real fuel consumption generally ranges from 12.7~14.1L/100km. Actual fuel consumption is influenced by many factors and needs to be considered comprehensively from various aspects. Below is the method to calculate fuel consumption: Calculate fuel consumption based on the relationship between distance and speed. 1. Fill up the car's fuel tank until the pump automatically stops, and record the current mileage. 2. The next time you refuel, fill it up until the pump automatically stops again, and record the amount of fuel added. 3. Calculate the distance traveled since the last refill and use the relationship between distance and speed to determine the fuel consumption.
As a veteran driver who has owned a Volkswagen Tiguan for many years, I've personally experienced its fuel consumption performance. For daily urban commuting, the fuel consumption is indeed on the higher side. My 1.8T model averages around 10L/100km, and it can spike to over 12L when idling at traffic lights or in heavy traffic. However, once on the highway, it becomes quite fuel-efficient, maintaining a steady 7.5L/100km during long-distance cruising, which helps ease the burden on my wallet. Maintenance is also crucial - low tire pressure or a dirty air filter can easily add 1-2L to the consumption, so I make sure to check tire pressure monthly and change oil regularly. The Tiguan isn't among the most fuel-thirsty SUVs, but aggressive driving or carrying heavy loads will quickly drive up fuel costs. Choosing the right engine version like the 1.4T can be more economical, making it suitable for daily commuting.
