What is the fuel consumption of the 1.4T Magotan?
3 Answers
The fuel consumption of the 1.4T Magotan is 7.1L/100km. The fuel consumption of the 1.4T Magotan is not high. Methods to reduce fuel consumption are as follows: Avoid prolonged engine idling: When the car is idling, the fuel consumption is much higher than during normal driving. Therefore, it is best to turn off the engine if the vehicle is not moving for a long time, such as when waiting for someone. Avoid sudden braking and acceleration as much as possible: A smooth and steady driving style is the most fuel-efficient. Try to avoid stomping on the accelerator during the starting phase. Maintain an appropriate driving speed: Generally, the most fuel-efficient speed is around 88.5 km/h. Keep the vehicle's wind resistance low: At high speeds, a significant portion of the power is used to overcome wind resistance. Therefore, try not to load items on the roof or make unreasonable modifications.
I've been driving this 1.4T Magotan for over two years, with the combined fuel consumption generally fluctuating between 7.5 to 8.5L. During morning and evening rush hours in the city with heavy traffic, the fuel consumption can rise to around 9L; on weekends when cruising on the highway with cruise control, it can drop to about 5.8L. Driving habits have a significant impact on fuel consumption—for instance, aggressive acceleration and sudden braking can increase fuel consumption by over 1L. The average fuel consumption displayed on the car's dashboard, 7.9L, is quite close to the actual data I've calculated from refueling. After regular maintenance, the fuel consumption tends to stabilize, and I don't need to worry about fuel efficiency until at least 5,000 kilometers after an oil change. The 1.4T engine paired with the dual-clutch transmission in this car is indeed fuel-efficient, performing much better than the older naturally aspirated models.
I commute daily in a Magotan 1.4T, covering a 15-kilometer mixed urban/elevated road route each way. The displayed average fuel consumption is 8.2L/100km, which works out to about 60 cents per kilometer in actual cost. The most fuel-efficient scenario is highway driving at 120 km/h, where consumption stays just over 6L. However, using AC in summer significantly increases fuel usage - when idling at red lights with the engine running, AC operation adds about 1L to consumption. I maintain tire pressure at 2.5bar, as lower pressure increases rolling resistance. After the first maintenance service, the engine feels smoother and fuel efficiency improved by about 0.5L compared to when new. For a 1.4-ton vehicle, this fuel consumption is acceptable given its adequate space and power. My monthly fuel expense of 800 yuan stays within budget.
