What is the actual fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of the Jetta VS5?

According to the fuel consumption data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Jetta VS5 with a 5-speed manual transmission has a fuel consumption of 6.2L/100km. Here are some factors that affect fuel consumption: 1. Vehicle type: Manual transmission and automatic transmission models have different fuel consumption performances. Generally, manual transmission models have lower fuel consumption. 2. Driving habits: If the driver frequently accelerates or decelerates abruptly, the car's fuel consumption will increase. 3. Road conditions: If the car is often driven on poor road conditions, the engine load will increase, leading to higher fuel consumption. Additionally, prolonged traffic congestion will also increase fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Jetta VS5 for over half a year now. As an experienced commuter in the city, my average fuel consumption during daily urban driving ranges from 8.5 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers; on highways, it can drop to around 7.5 liters. The official data claims just over 6 liters, but the reality is quite different, mainly because fuel consumption spikes during traffic jams, and using the air conditioning in summer often adds about 0.8 liters. I recommend new owners develop the habit of smooth acceleration, avoid sudden braking, and regularly check tire pressure and engine maintenance to save a lot on fuel costs. Over the long term, the overall expenses aren't high. I think the car's fuel efficiency performance is quite solid, even more economical than some SUVs in the same class.
After using the car for over a year, I often calculate fuel expenses. The actual fuel consumption of the Jetta VS5 depends on driving conditions: it can exceed 9 liters per 100 kilometers during peak urban hours, while on highways with no load, it can drop to around 7 liters. This is slightly higher than the official claim of 6.5 liters, mainly due to frequent traffic lights, load impact, or air conditioning usage. I find that a gentle driving habit can keep it under 8 liters, saving hundreds of yuan annually. Regular maintenance like oil changes and air filter replacements significantly helps with fuel efficiency, and I often share these tips with friends.
