What is the average fuel consumption of the Tiguan 1.8T?
2 Answers
The average fuel consumption of the Tiguan 1.8T is around 10 liters per 100 kilometers on highways, and approximately 11 to 12 liters per 100 kilometers in urban areas under mixed driving conditions. Below is more information about fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption is influenced by many factors such as driving conditions, driving habits, vehicle maintenance status, and vehicle load. 2. Average fuel consumption generally refers to combined fuel consumption, which is the average of fuel consumption under several different driving conditions under specific circumstances. Typically, combined fuel consumption is calculated based on fuel consumption in both urban and suburban conditions. Additional information: Taking the Tiguan 2017 300TSI Automatic Two-Wheel Drive Silk Road Comfort Edition as an example, it is a compact SUV under SAIC Volkswagen, with a front suspension of MacPherson independent suspension, a rear suspension of multi-link independent suspension, and front and rear tire specifications of 235/55R17.
As a long-term owner of the Tiguan 1.8T, my actual measured average fuel consumption is around 9 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on the situation: in city driving with frequent traffic jams, it can spike to 11 liters, while on the highway at a steady speed, it can drop to around 8 liters. The maintenance condition of the car has a significant impact. For example, changing the engine oil and air filter on time can save a lot on fuel costs; insufficient tire pressure increases friction, raising fuel consumption by about 0.5 liters. I recommend recording fuel refills and mileage monthly to get a clear picture of your actual fuel consumption—don’t rely too much on official data, as their testing conditions are too idealized. Overall, this car isn’t too fuel-hungry, but if you often drive during peak city hours, you should budget for fuel price fluctuations. Driving habits are also crucial—avoid sudden acceleration and hard braking, and develop smooth driving habits to effectively control costs.
