What is the fuel consumption of the Touareg X?
3 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Touareg X is 7.3-9.7L/100km. The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Touareg X330 is 7.3L/100km. The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Touareg X380 is 8.5L/100km. The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Touareg X530 is 9.7L/100km. The above figures are 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, ranging from 10.5-14.0L/100km. The level of a car's fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and ambient temperature. The specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors 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 displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means greater power output, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. 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 the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low ambient temperature: When the engine block temperature is low during cold starts, the injected gasoline is harder to atomize, requiring more gasoline to burn, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I previously checked the fuel consumption of the Volkswagen Teramont X. As a large SUV, its official WLTC data is generally around 10-12 liters per 100 kilometers. However, in actual usage, urban driving conditions often push it to 13-15 liters, especially in traffic jams with frequent stops and starts, and with the air conditioning on, which consumes even more fuel. On the highway, it can drop to 9-10 liters, making it quite suitable for long-distance travel. Choosing different engine versions affects fuel consumption: the 380TSI offers strong performance but consumes slightly more fuel, while the 530V6 is even more powerful but can reach up to 16 liters in the city. Overall, while the Teramont X offers spacious interiors ideal for families, its fuel costs are higher than sedans. It's advisable to consider long-term usage expenses when purchasing, and occasional highway driving can save a significant amount.
It's been half a year since I started driving the Touareg X, and my experience is that fuel consumption heavily depends on driving habits and road conditions: daily city commuting averages around 14 liters, while sudden acceleration and hard braking can waste an extra 1-2 liters. Highway cruising stays comfortably stable at about 9 liters. With more passengers or a fully loaded trunk, the engine bears a heavier load and consumes more fuel. Air conditioning also has a noticeable impact, adding roughly an extra liter in summer when the AC is on. My advice is to cultivate smooth driving habits, anticipate traffic conditions early to minimize braking, and regularly check tire pressure to reduce friction. This way, fuel consumption can be kept within a reasonable range—averaging 11-12 liters isn’t excessive.
