What is the fuel consumption of the Volkswagen Tharu?
1 Answers
The Volkswagen Tharu has 16 models currently on sale. Among them, the 2022 330TSI 4WD Luxury Edition, 4WD Flagship Edition, and the 2021 330TSI 4WD Flagship Edition, 4WD Luxury Edition, and 4WD Luxury Edition PLUS—totaling 5 models—are equipped with a 150-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.49L per 100km. The remaining 11 models on sale are equipped with a 186-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.16L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity varies among different models of the Volkswagen Tharu. The distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 150-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.49L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 51L, allowing a distance of 51/6.49*100=786km on a full tank. For models equipped with a 186-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.16L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 56.5L, allowing a distance of 56.5/7.16*100=789km on a full tank. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, wind resistance, and ambient temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at a red light can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements, as larger displacements typically produce more power and require more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous terrain increases resistance and fuel consumption. Wind resistance: Driving against strong winds or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low ambient temperatures: When the engine block is cold, gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more fuel for combustion, which increases consumption. Additionally, in cold weather, the engine control unit may operate at higher RPMs to warm up the engine, further increasing fuel consumption.
