The Golf 1.6L consumes around 9 liters per 100 kilometers. Here is some relevant information: 1. Dimensions: Taking the 2019 Golf 1.6L as an example, its body dimensions are 4259mm in length, 1799mm in width, and 1452mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2637mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, and a curb weight of 1200kg. 2. Engine: The 2019 Golf 1.6L features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 110ps, a maximum power of 81kW, and a maximum torque of 155Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
As a long-time owner of the Golf 1.6, I've driven this car for several years. The actual fuel consumption varies greatly depending on road conditions and personal driving habits. On average, it can rise to 10-12 liters per 100 km in congested city traffic, while dropping to 6-7 liters during highway cruising. The combined consumption typically ranges between 8-9 liters per 100 km. Weather and temperature also have a significant impact, with higher consumption during cold starts in winter. Vehicle weight and load are crucial factors - fuel consumption increases by about 1 liter when traveling with a family of four and luggage. Worn tires or insufficient tire pressure can increase fuel consumption, so I regularly check the tire pressure. Driving this car requires gentle throttle application - avoid sudden acceleration and hard braking to maintain reasonable fuel consumption, otherwise the older version engine tends to consume more fuel.
