What is the actual fuel consumption of the Volkswagen Bora?

[NevaehFitz]

The actual fuel consumption of the Volkswagen Bora ranges from 5.3 to 8.8L/100km. Its combined fuel consumption is 5.3-5.9L/100km. Currently, there are 15 models of the Volkswagen Bora available for sale. The DSG Comfort Smart Link Edition and DSG Elite Smart Link Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 5.3L/100km. The DSG Elite Smart Link Edition and DSG Luxury Smart Link Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 5.5L/100km. The Automatic 30th Anniversary Edition, Automatic Comfort Smart Link Edition, Automatic Elite Smart Link Edition, Automatic Luxury Smart Link Edition, and Automatic Fashion Smart Link Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 5.7L/100km. The Manual Fashion Smart Link Edition, Manual Comfort Smart Link Edition, Manual Fashion Type China VI, and Manual Leading Type China VI have a combined fuel consumption of 5.8L/100km. The Automatic Fashion Type China VI and Automatic Leading Type China VI have a combined fuel consumption of 5.9L/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, ranging from 5.3 to 8.8L/100km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle in advance when encountering a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight 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 the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low during cold starts, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.

I've been driving a Volkswagen Bora for over two years now. In city traffic jams, the fuel consumption can soar to around 10 liters per 100 kilometers, which is quite fuel-intensive. However, on highways, it easily drops to 6-7 liters. During my daily commute of over 20 kilometers, I can clearly feel that driving smoothly and avoiding sudden acceleration can save a lot on fuel costs. In winter, turning on the air conditioning increases the fuel consumption a bit more. From my records, the average fuel consumption is between 7-8 liters, and with careful driving, a full tank can cover over 500 kilometers. Overall, the Bora handles well, but its fuel consumption is significantly affected by weather conditions. On slippery roads or during hot weather with the air conditioning on high, you'll need to budget for some extra fuel expenses.
