What is the actual fuel consumption of the Jetta VS5?
3 Answers
Jetta VS5 manual transmission models have a fuel consumption of 7.1 liters per 100 kilometers, while automatic transmission models consume 7.8 liters per 100 kilometers. The following is a detailed introduction about the Jetta VS5: 1. Overview: The Jetta VS5 is the first SUV model under the Jetta brand. Its front face adopts Volkswagen's X design elements, extending bidirectionally to the hood and lower grille. The side body lines continue Volkswagen's brand design, running through the entire vehicle. 2. Configuration: The Jetta VS5 is built on Volkswagen's most advanced MQB A1 platform, equipped with the EA211 1.4T 110KW engine shared by Volkswagen and Audi, paired with the MQ250 manual transmission and Aisin AQ250 six-speed automatic transmission. The new car comes with core features such as front MacPherson independent suspension, rear multi-link independent suspension, ESP electronic stability system, and ACC adaptive cruise control.
I've been driving the Jetta VS5 for my daily commute for a while now, with an average real-world fuel consumption of around 9 liters per 100 kilometers. In congested city traffic, it can spike to over 10 liters, while on highways with good conditions, it drops to about 8 liters. I think the car's fuel economy is decent. Daily usage is significantly affected by driving habits; for instance, aggressive acceleration or braking consumes extra fuel. I've tried maintaining a steady speed, and found that keeping it between 60-70 km/h in the city is the most fuel-efficient. The surge in fuel consumption during traffic jams is indeed annoying, so I try to avoid rush hours whenever possible. Regular maintenance of the air filter has also helped a lot, keeping the fuel consumption within a reasonable range. For me, spending an extra 200 yuan per month on fuel is acceptable, especially considering the spacious and practical SUV features.
I recently bought a Jetta VS5, and as a new driver, the actual fuel consumption surprised me a bit. The official figure is 7 liters, but in reality, it often reaches 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers, especially in the city with frequent red lights. My driving instructor once reminded me that fuel consumption is affected by many factors, such as heavy use of air conditioning increasing consumption by about 1 liter. Now, I make it a habit to warm up the engine before setting off and try to use high-quality 92-octane gasoline. I just started recording fuel consumption, and the app shows that exceeding 10 liters in city traffic jams is common. I’m gradually adjusting my driving style—less sudden braking and more steady speed—which feels both economical and safer. This process has helped me realize that a car being easy to drive and fuel-efficient is key.
