What is the fuel consumption of FAW-Volkswagen Talagon?
2 Answers
FAW-Volkswagen Talagon has a fuel consumption of 7.2-9.7L/100km. The following are several factors that affect fuel consumption: 1. Road conditions: Generally, flat roads consume less fuel than bumpy roads, straight roads consume less fuel than curved roads, and smooth roads consume less fuel than congested roads. 2. Weather: In hot summer weather, air conditioning cooling will consume some fuel. In winter, low temperatures prevent gasoline from reaching the optimal combustion temperature, leading to incomplete combustion and additional fuel consumption. 3. Tire pressure: Low tire pressure will increase fuel consumption. 4. Engine: Dirt and grease on the engine surface can affect engine cooling, leading to increased fuel consumption. 5. Carbon deposits in the transmission: Carbon deposits in the transmission can reduce engine power, which to some extent accompanies increased fuel consumption, as achieving the same power as before the carbon deposits requires increasing throttle opening and corresponding fuel supply.
I've been driving this FAW-Volkswagen Talagon for almost a year now, and I feel like its fuel consumption tells quite a story. During daily city driving, especially in traffic jams, it often spikes to 11 liters per 100 kilometers, which is a bit painful. But on the highway, it obediently drops to around 9 liters, much more fuel-efficient. As an SUV, the car is quite heavy, providing a stable and safe driving experience, so higher fuel consumption is normal. I'm someone who likes to take good care of my car—keeping the tire pressure optimal, avoiding sudden acceleration and braking—so on average, I maintain it at 10.5 liters. Over time, I feel it's worth it; the comfort and spaciousness make up for the fuel costs. If the road conditions are smooth or if I use the eco mode, it can save even more. In short, don’t worry too much—just plan your trips wisely.
