What is the actual fuel consumption of the Tiguan L 2.0T?
1 Answers
The NEDC combined fuel consumption of the Tiguan L 2.0T is 6.6-7.7L/100km. There are currently 6 models of the Tiguan L 2.0T on sale. The two-wheel-drive Zhixiang Edition, two-wheel-drive Shuxiang Edition, two-wheel-drive R-Line Yuexiang Edition, and two-wheel-drive R-Line Flagship Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 6.6L/100km. The four-wheel-drive R-Line Yuexiang Edition and four-wheel-drive R-Line Flagship Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 7.7L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, around 10.2L. Here are 5 tips to help reduce fuel consumption while driving: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid suddenly stomping on the accelerator, as this can multiply fuel consumption. Light acceleration and braking, early braking: While driving, gently press the accelerator to avoid sudden increases in engine RPM and prevent the car from shaking, which helps save fuel. By anticipating road conditions and applying slow, even acceleration or braking, fuel economy can be improved by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep tire pressure at the level recommended by the manufacturer. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (equivalent to about 0.2 in metric units relative to the standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular vehicle maintenance or checks: Timely oil changes can reduce carbon buildup (carbon deposits can cause ignition issues, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and even cylinder misfires in severe cases). Regularly check and replace the air filter if dirty, and clean or replace the fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle body at recommended intervals. Close the windows while driving. Driving with windows open increases wind resistance, which in turn increases the resistance the car faces, requiring more power and thus increasing fuel consumption.
