The new Sagitar has 7 models currently on sale. Among them, the 2022 280TSI-DSG Flying Version, Beyond Version, and Excellence Version are equipped with a 150-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.6L per 100km. The 2022 200TSI-DSG Flying Version and Beyond Version are equipped with a 116-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.3L per 100km. The 2022 200TSI-Manual Beyond Version and Flying Version are also equipped with a 116-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.5L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of the new Sagitar is 50L. The distance each model can travel on a full tank is as follows: Models equipped with a 322-horsepower engine can travel 50/5.6100=892km on a full tank. The 2022 200TSI-DSG Flying Version and Beyond Version can travel 50/5.3100=943km on a full tank. The 2022 200TSI-Manual Beyond Version and Flying Version can travel 50/5.5*100=909km on a full tank. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly related to 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, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before 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 usually mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads 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, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.

I bought the 1.4T Sagitar last year, and it has now run 8,000 kilometers. I've specifically recorded the fuel consumption. During rush hour traffic in the city, it can reach 9 liters per 100 kilometers, and it's even higher with the air conditioning on. The most fuel-efficient is driving at a steady 70 km/h on the ring road, where the display shows only 5.2 liters. Highway driving is particularly impressive; last time I went to Qingdao, cruising at 110 km/h the whole way, the fuel consumption was just 5.8 liters. However, driving style matters—once I was in a hurry and accelerated aggressively, and the one-way fuel consumption shot up to 11 liters. The tank holds 53 liters, and in real-world testing, a full tank can last 850 kilometers before the fuel light comes on for long-distance trips. For commuting, filling up twice a month is sufficient.

Our fleet has three new Sagitars. The 1.2T model averages around 7L/100km, while the 1.4T version is about 7.5L. But there's significant variation in real-world driving: Veteran driver Li achieved a record low of 4.9L on national highways, whereas rookie Wang reached 10.2L with AC on in city traffic. I recommend installing the Fuelio app - through three pump-cutoff tests, my 1.4T recorded 6.1L highway, 8.3L urban, averaging 7.4L. AC usage increases consumption by 0.8L, while maintaining 2.5 bar tire pressure improves efficiency.

Located in Hangzhou, my daily commute is 20 kilometers. My Sagitar 1.5T can achieve 5.6 L/100km on Qiushi Elevated Road, but it jumps to 9.3 when stuck in heavy traffic on Shixin Road. The most fuel-efficient speed is actually maintaining a steady 60-80 km/h with the engine RPM at 1500. Last month, I drove to Qiandao Lake, with highway fuel consumption at 5.9 L/100km, but it increased to 7.2 on mountain roads via national highways. The difference between 92 and 95 octane fuel is less than 0.3 L/100km, but it's recommended to use 95 as per the manual—the engine runs noticeably smoother.
