What is the fuel consumption of the Volkswagen Passat?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Passat 1.4T model has a combined fuel consumption of approximately 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers, while the 2.0T model consumes about 9.0 liters per 100 kilometers. Here are specific methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Lightly press the accelerator: The initial low-speed acceleration phase is the peak fuel consumption period, so gently pressing the accelerator during startup can prevent excessively high RPM and effectively reduce fuel consumption. 2. Avoid high RPM: Try to avoid unnecessary high RPM as fluctuating engine speeds significantly increase fuel consumption. 3. Regular maintenance: Change engine oil and remove carbon deposits. 4. Avoid emergency braking: Anticipating road conditions in advance not only enhances driving safety but also saves fuel. For example, gradually decelerating before traffic lights and utilizing inertia to glide.
When it comes to the fuel consumption of the Passat, I, with twenty years of experience running an auto repair shop, have the most say. The new 1.4T paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is indeed fuel-efficient, averaging just over 8 liters in the city with air conditioning on, and can drop below 6 liters on the highway. As for the 2.0T version, it consumes around 9-10 liters in the city, but it's still economical on the highway. A crucial reminder for everyone: don't trust the displayed fuel consumption; calculate the actual fuel usage based on refills. Last time, a car owner complained about high fuel consumption, only to find out it was due to low tire pressure and overfilled engine oil. Also, the EA211 engine needs regular carbon deposit cleaning, or fuel consumption can increase by 1 liter in no time. For those who frequently drive on highways, it's recommended to use 95-octane fuel for smoother engine sound.
