What is the actual fuel consumption of the Tiguan 1.8?
2 Answers
Tiguan 1.8's actual fuel consumption is 6.98L/100km. The following is an extended introduction: 1. Configuration: The Volkswagen Tiguan comes standard with ESP body stability system, EBD electronic brake force distribution, and ASR traction control. For example, some less common features such as EDS electronic differential lock, EPB electronic parking brake, automatic parking function, and TPR tire pressure monitoring system have all become standard configurations of the Tiguan, indicating Volkswagen's strong emphasis on safety. 2. Safety: Front dual airbags and front side airbags ensure the safety of passengers, and the standard child safety lock also emphasizes the safety of children.
I drive a Tiguan 1.8T, mainly for city commuting, with an average fuel consumption of 10 to 12 liters per 100 kilometers. In heavy traffic, it can jump to 13 liters, which is quite fuel-consuming, but on the highway, it drops to around 8 liters. I tried changing my driving habits, like braking less abruptly and accelerating gently, and managed to stabilize it at just over 9 liters. After two years, the tires aged a bit, causing a slight increase in fuel consumption. Regular maintenance, such as changing the engine oil and air filter, can help save some fuel. Using the heater in winter consumes extra fuel, adding about 1 liter, and the air conditioning in summer has a similar effect. So, actual fuel consumption heavily depends on the season and road conditions. Overall, it's quite acceptable and not too outrageous.
