2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Jetta is 5.7 liters per 100 kilometers. Here are the detailed specifications of the Jetta: Overview: Jetta is an automobile brand under FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Company, Ltd., a joint venture of German Volkswagen Group in China. Its first model, the Jetta (Jetta-MK1), was launched in Europe in 1979. Other specifications: The wheelbase is 2604mm. The vehicle dimensions are 4501x1704x1469 (mm). The trunk capacity is 442 liters. The fuel consumption is 5.7 liters per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity is 55 liters. The engine type is the EA211 series. The top speed is 200 km/h. The minimum acceleration time is 8.7 seconds (0-100km/h). The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive.
I've been driving this old Jetta for five years, and fuel consumption really depends on the situation. During daily commutes stuck in city traffic, the dashboard usually shows around 8.5 to 9 liters per 100 km. On weekends when I take the highway, it can drop to about 6.5 liters. The most crucial factor is driving habits - if you frequently accelerate or brake aggressively, fuel consumption will definitely exceed 10 liters. I've tried driving more gently, and even with the AC on the whole time, I can keep it under 7.5 liters. Another trick is to regularly change the air filter and engine oil, which saves quite a bit. Also, try to maintain tire pressure around 2.5 bar. While the Jetta's interior might be plain, it's truly fuel-efficient, especially suitable for us commuters who drive every day.
