What is the average fuel consumption of the Tiguan 1.8T?
3 Answers
The Tiguan 1.8T has a total of 36 models. For the Tiguan 2016 300TSI automatic four-wheel-drive luxury edition, comfort edition, and fashion vision edition—3 models equipped with a 160-horsepower engine—the NEDC fuel consumption is 8.9L per 100km. For the Tiguan 2016 300TSI automatic two-wheel-drive luxury edition, comfort edition, fashion edition, Silk Road comfort edition, and Silk Road fashion edition—5 models equipped with a 160-horsepower engine—the NEDC fuel consumption is 8.6L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity is the same across different Tiguan 1.8T models. The distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is as follows: For the Tiguan 2016 300TSI automatic four-wheel-drive luxury edition, comfort edition, and fashion vision edition—3 models with a fuel tank capacity of 63L—the distance that can be covered on a full tank is 63/8.9*100=708km. For the Tiguan 2016 300TSI automatic two-wheel-drive luxury edition, comfort edition, fashion edition, Silk Road comfort edition, and Silk Road fashion edition—5 models with a fuel tank capacity of 63L—the distance that can be covered on a full tank is 63/8.6*100=737km. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by 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 behaviors 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 higher displacement usually means higher power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous terrain 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, injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more fuel for combustion, which increases consumption. Additionally, in cold temperatures, the engine control unit may command higher idle speeds to warm up the engine, further increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Tiguan 1.8T for over three years, mainly commuting in the city. The average fuel consumption is around 9 to 12 liters per 100 kilometers. It's particularly fuel-intensive in congested areas, often exceeding 12 liters; on highways, it's much better, sometimes dropping below 9 liters. To save more fuel, I usually pay attention to maintaining normal tire pressure, avoid speeding, and minimize the use of strong air conditioning. These small habits can bring the average down to around 10 liters. Regular engine maintenance and oil changes can also improve fuel efficiency. I check these before every long road trip, saving money and ensuring peace of mind.
As a car enthusiast, I've studied the fuel consumption data of the Tiguan 1.8T. This turbocharged engine averages about 9.5 to 11.5 liters per 100 kilometers in combined driving conditions. In city driving with frequent starts and stops, fuel consumption can easily rise to 12 liters; while during highway cruising with higher engine efficiency, it can be reduced to around 9 liters. The main factors affecting fuel consumption include driving habits, road conditions, temperature, and vehicle weight. It's recommended to use apps to record real-time fuel consumption for adjustment. Avoiding speeding and heavy loads can save significant fuel, and keeping it under 10 liters overall is ideal.
