What is the fuel consumption of the Tiguan L 2.0T?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Tiguan is 6.6-7.7L/100km. There are currently 6 models of the Tiguan on sale. The two-wheel-drive Zhixiang Edition, two-wheel-drive Shuxiang Edition, two-wheel-drive R-Line Yuexiang Edition, and two-wheel-drive R-Line Flagship Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.6L/100km. The four-wheel-drive R-Line Yuexiang Edition and four-wheel-drive R-Line Flagship Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.7L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, around 10.2L. Here are 5 tips to help reduce fuel consumption while driving: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid suddenly pressing the accelerator hard, as this can multiply fuel consumption. Light acceleration, light braking, and early braking: While driving, gently press the accelerator to avoid sudden increases in engine RPM and prevent the car from shaking, which helps save fuel. By anticipating road conditions and applying slow and even acceleration or braking, fuel economy can be improved by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep tire pressure at the level recommended by the manufacturer. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (approximately 0.2 in metric units relative to the standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular vehicle maintenance or inspection: Timely oil changes can reduce carbon buildup (carbon buildup can cause ignition issues, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and even cylinder misfires in severe cases). Regularly check and replace the air filter if dirty, and clean or replace the fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle body as per the mileage recommendations. Close the windows while driving. Driving with windows open increases wind resistance, which in turn increases the resistance the car faces, requiring more power and thus increasing fuel consumption.
Speaking of the fuel consumption of the Tiguan L equipped with a 2.0T engine, as an experienced SUV driver for over a decade, I'd like to share my thoughts. My Tiguan L is the 330TSI model, with an average combined fuel consumption of around 8-10 liters per 100 kilometers. During congested commutes, it can rise to 11-12 liters, while steady highway driving can bring it down to just over 7 liters. Many factors affect this, such as traffic conditions, whether the air conditioning is on, or how heavily the car is loaded. I recommend regular tire pressure checks and maintenance to keep fuel consumption stable. After all, for such a large vehicle, it's quite economical, but don't expect it to be as fuel-efficient as a compact car—you'll get used to it over time.
