What is the fuel consumption of the 1.5L new Jetta?
2 Answers
1.5L new Jetta's official fuel consumption is 5.9L per 100km, while the actual fuel consumption is 7.4L. The factors affecting fuel consumption and methods to reduce it are as follows: Factors affecting fuel consumption: Poor driving habits such as squeezing into gaps, sudden stops and starts, and driving at high speeds in low gears can all increase fuel consumption. Engine carbon deposits can also lead to higher fuel consumption. Low tire pressure or insufficient inflation can cause increased fuel usage. It's advisable to check tire inflation before driving, and use a pressure gauge to ensure proper tire pressure, as timely inflation can reduce fuel consumption. Overloaded trunk: Carrying too many items in the trunk can also increase fuel consumption. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Maintain a steady speed while driving, avoid sudden braking and acceleration, and perform regular vehicle maintenance.
I usually drive the new Jetta 1.5L for my daily commute, with a combined fuel consumption of around 6.5 to 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on road conditions. In city traffic jams, it often spikes to 7.8L, while on the highway with smooth driving, it can drop to 6.1L. On average, 7L is quite common. Fuel costs aren’t high—filling up a tank can easily cover 500–600 kilometers, but using the AC or carrying extra passengers can increase consumption by about 0.5L. Maintenance is key: low tire pressure or dirty engine oil can cause a sharp rise in fuel consumption. I service my car every 5,000 kilometers and practice smooth acceleration with minimal braking to save a bit more. Over time, I’ve found this engine quite sturdy and reliable. Volkswagen has put effort into fuel efficiency, and overall, its performance justifies the price for this class of compact car.
