2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Magotan 280 is 5.5L/100km. Below are the detailed specifications of the three engine options available for the Volkswagen Magotan: 1.4-liter turbocharged engine: This engine produces 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. It delivers peak power at 5000 to 6000 rpm and maximum torque at 1750 to 3000 rpm. The engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. Low-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine: This engine generates 186 horsepower and a maximum torque of 320 Nm. It achieves peak power at 5000 rpm and maximum torque at 1600 to 4000 rpm. The engine employs a combined injection system and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block. High-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine: This engine produces 220 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. It delivers peak power at 4500 to 6200 rpm and maximum torque at 1500 to 4400 rpm. The engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block.
I've driven the Volkswagen Magotan 280 quite a few times, and its fuel consumption performance is quite impressive. The official claimed combined fuel consumption is 5.8 liters per 100 kilometers, but in reality, it varies depending on driving habits and road conditions. In stop-and-go city traffic, it can go up to 7 liters, while on the highway at around 90 km/h, it can drop as low as 5 liters. There are plenty of fuel-saving tips: drive smoothly by avoiding sudden acceleration and braking; the use of air conditioning also has a big impact—running the AC in summer consumes more fuel, so it's better to open windows for ventilation on short trips; tire maintenance is crucial too—keeping tire pressure at the recommended level and using low-rolling-resistance tires can save an additional 5% in fuel; also, regular oil and air filter changes ensure the engine runs efficiently, naturally lowering fuel consumption. In short, with a bit of patience, maintaining fuel consumption between 5-6 liters is no problem.
