What is the fuel consumption of Jetta per 100 kilometers?
2 Answers
Jetta VS5 consumes 6.2L per 100 kilometers. The reasons for high fuel consumption and methods to reduce it are as follows: Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Enhance vehicle maintenance. The adjustment and maintenance of the car affect engine performance and driving resistance. According to statistics, poor maintenance can increase fuel consumption by 10% to 20%. Owners should regularly perform routine maintenance at auto repair shops, such as checking tire pressure, wheel alignment, adjusting brake pad and drum clearance, lubricating chassis points, timely oil changes, and filter inspections. Additionally, use the oil viscosity specified in the manual, opting for the lowest viscosity, as higher viscosity increases friction and fuel consumption. Reasons for high fuel consumption: Using higher viscosity oil increases engine resistance. Prolonged warm-up leads to more carbon deposits, and the engine injects extra gasoline to maintain operation at low temperatures. Other factors include frequent short-distance driving, carrying heavy loads for extended periods, low tire pressure, installing wider tires, stop-and-go driving, aggressive driving habits, driving with windows open at high speeds, and improper gear selection (too low or too high).
I'm a Jetta owner, driving a 2019 1.4T automatic model. The fuel consumption is quite high during city commuting, around 6.8 liters, and it can rise to 7.5 liters in traffic jams. However, it's more fuel-efficient on highways during weekends, dropping below 5.5 liters. I believe this is related to driving habits—I used to accelerate aggressively, but after trying gentler acceleration, the fuel consumption did decrease somewhat. Maintenance is also crucial; regular oil changes and air filter replacements help maintain efficiency. With the recent rise in fuel prices, the cost per kilometer is still quite economical, just a few cents. I recommend new owners pay attention to the car's onboard computer display and adjust their driving style in real-time. Overall, the Jetta is relatively fuel-efficient among A-segment cars. After three years of use, my car's fuel consumption has stabilized at around 6 liters, which is quite hassle-free.
