What is the actual fuel consumption of the Jetta VS5?
1 Answers
The Jetta VS5 has 5 models currently on sale. Among them, the 2022 280TSI Manual Yuexiang Pro and Manual Jinqu Pro models, equipped with a 150-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.2L per 100km. The 2022 280TSI Automatic Yuexiang Pro, Automatic Jinqu Pro, and Automatic Rongyao Pro models, also equipped with a 150-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.8L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity is the same across different Jetta VS5 models. The distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 150-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.2L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 51L, allowing a distance of 51/6.2*100=823km on a full tank. For models equipped with a 150-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.8L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 51L, allowing a distance of 51/6.8*100=750km on a full tank. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as rapid acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before encountering a red light can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements typically produce more power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous terrain increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, injected gasoline does not vaporize easily, requiring more fuel for combustion, which increases consumption. Additionally, in cold temperatures, the engine control unit may operate at higher RPMs to warm up the engine, further increasing fuel consumption.
