What is the fuel consumption of the Golf 1.4T?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Golf 1.4T is 7L/100km. Below are the methods to check fuel consumption and the factors that affect it: Methods to check fuel consumption: The fuel gauge on the engine can display the fuel level indicator, which is used to show and monitor the fuel reserve in the tank and the fuel consumption. 'F' stands for full, and 'E' stands for empty. When the fuel tank warning light comes on, record the mileage, then refuel. When the fuel runs out next time, record the mileage again. Use the two mileage readings to calculate the actual distance traveled, then divide by the fuel consumed to get the fuel consumption. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Incorrect driving can increase fuel consumption by 2 to 3 times. Poor driving habits have the greatest impact on fuel consumption. During driving, especially in heavy traffic, at red lights, or when changing lanes, sudden acceleration and braking are the most common issues. Rough roads, traffic congestion, or uneven road surfaces can force the vehicle to drive in low gear for extended periods, inevitably increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving my Golf 1.4T for almost two years now. For daily city commuting, the fuel consumption is around 7.5-8.5L, and it can spike to 9L during rush hour traffic. On weekends when driving on the highway, the lowest I've gotten is 5.8L, especially with cruise control which is very fuel-efficient. The car is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the combination of a small displacement with turbocharging is indeed highly efficient. Driving habits are crucial—I rarely use the S mode for sporty driving, prefer gentle acceleration, and avoid sudden braking, which can save up to 1L in the long run. The fuel tank isn't large, but it's quite efficient; a full tank can cover over 600 kilometers on the highway, while in the city, it's about 400 kilometers before needing a refill. Among cars in the same class, the fuel consumption is above average, but it really depends on how you drive.
