What is the fuel consumption of the Volkswagen T-Cross?
2 Answers
The combined fuel consumption of the Volkswagen T-Cross is 5.7-5.9L/100km. Currently, there are 5 models of the Volkswagen T-Cross available for sale: the DSG Luxury Edition and DSG Comfort Edition, with a combined fuel consumption of 5.7L/100km. The Manual Trend Edition, Automatic Comfort Edition, and Automatic Trend Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 5.9L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC combined 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 7.0-8.8L/100km. Specific factors affecting car fuel consumption are as follows: Car weight: Larger and heavier cars consume more fuel. Generally, a small family car with a 1.6L engine weighs about 1.2 tons and consumes approximately 7.5 liters of fuel (calculated under full load), while an SUV weighing about 1.5 tons consumes around 8.5 liters. Different weights result in varying fuel consumption. Drag coefficient: Higher drag increases fuel consumption during driving. Cars with better aerodynamics have lower drag, leading to lower fuel consumption. Economical RPM: During driving, the engine has an optimal torque output point. Maintaining the car's speed within this range significantly reduces fuel consumption. Generally, small-displacement cars achieve this at about 70 km/h, while larger-displacement cars reach it at around 100 km/h. Staying within this economical RPM range ensures minimal fuel consumption. Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light can increase fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Volkswagen T-Cross for almost two years now, and I'm really satisfied with its fuel consumption. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine averages about 7.5L/100km in city driving with normal traffic lights and commuting conditions. On highway trips during weekends, it becomes noticeably more fuel-efficient, typically dropping to around 5.8L/100km. What surprised me most is its Active Cylinder Management technology - it automatically shuts down two cylinders during steady-speed cruising, and you can see real-time fuel consumption changes on the dashboard. During my last family road trip with four people and luggage, we covered 800km and calculated the fuel cost to be just over 0.4 yuan per kilometer. However, do pay attention to tire pressure - last time when the tire pressure was low, the fuel consumption suddenly increased to 8.2L/100km, and the problem was only discovered during a check-up at the 4S店.
