What is the fuel consumption of the Volkswagen CC?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Volkswagen CC is 8-10.7 liters per 100 kilometers. Meaning of fuel consumption: Fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator when a vehicle is driving at a constant speed on good road surfaces. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for vehicles on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. For example, France and Germany use the constant-speed fuel consumption at 90Km/h and 120Km/h as the main evaluation indicators for fuel economy. China also adopts this indicator, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers indicated in the manuals of domestically produced vehicles is generally the constant-speed fuel consumption. Reasons for increased fuel consumption: Low tire pressure will increase fuel consumption. Dirt and grease on the engine surface can affect engine heat dissipation, thereby leading to increased fuel consumption. Carbon deposits in the transmission. Carbon deposits in the transmission can reduce engine power, which to some extent accompanies an increase in fuel consumption, as it requires increasing the throttle opening and corresponding fuel supply to achieve the same power as before the carbon deposit effect.
I've driven the Volkswagen CC for several years, and for urban commuting, the fuel consumption typically fluctuates between 9-12 liters per 100 kilometers. It's particularly fuel-efficient on highways; maintaining a steady speed of around 100 km/h with cruise control can bring it down to about 6.8 liters. However, the 2.0T engine's characteristic is that aggressive throttle input significantly increases fuel consumption. Once, when stuck in an underground garage for half an hour, the instantaneous fuel consumption shot up to 16 liters. It's important to regularly check tire pressure, as insufficient pressure commonly leads to an extra liter of fuel consumption. By the way, using the air conditioning doesn't affect fuel consumption much, adding roughly 0.5 liters. The newer models are said to feature cylinder deactivation technology, which should make highway fuel consumption even more favorable.
