2 Answers
The Teramont has a total of 15 models currently on sale. Among them, the Teramont 2022 380TSI 4WD Premium Flagship Edition, 4WD Premium Luxury Edition, and 4WD Luxury Edition, as well as the Teramont 2021 380TSI 4WD Premium Flagship Edition, 4WD Premium Luxury Edition, and 4WD Luxury Edition—6 models equipped with a 220-horsepower engine—have an NEDC fuel consumption of 8.5L per 100km. The Teramont 2022 330TSI 2WD Premium Luxury Edition and 2WD Luxury Edition, along with the 2021 330TSI 2WD Premium Luxury Edition and 2WD Luxury Edition—4 models equipped with a 186-horsepower engine—have an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.4L per 100km. The Teramont 2021 530 V6 4WD Premium Flagship Edition and 4WD Premium Luxury Edition—2 models equipped with a 299-horsepower engine—have an NEDC fuel consumption of 9.7L per 100km. All Teramont models have the same fuel tank capacity. The distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 220-horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 70L and can cover 70/8.5*100=824km on a full tank. Models equipped with a 186-horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 70L and can cover 70/7.4*100=946km on a full tank. Models equipped with a 299-horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 70L and can cover 70/9.7*100=722km on a full tank. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, will increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars also consume more fuel due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in cold temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, further increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Touareg for over two years now, and the overall fuel consumption has been quite stable. The average combined fuel consumption is around 9 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers. In city traffic jams, it can spike to over 12 liters, while on the highway, it can drop to as low as 7 liters. There are quite a few influencing factors. For example, my daily commute in the city often involves heavy traffic, which increases fuel consumption. Long-distance driving at a steady speed is much better. The car is quite heavy, and while the 2.0T engine is efficient, fuel consumption soars when accelerating aggressively. I've saved quite a bit of fuel by developing the habit of gently pressing the accelerator. Regular maintenance and proper tire pressure are also crucial—underinflated tires can increase fuel consumption by a couple of points. Overall, the Touareg's fuel consumption is reasonable for a large SUV, offering both safety and practicality.
