What is the fuel consumption of the Yeti?

The Yeti has a total of 6 models. Among them, the 2017 TSI280 DSG Premium Edition, Creative Edition, Chexiang Brothers Edition, and Forward Edition are equipped with a 150-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.3L per 100km. The 2017 1.6L Manual Forward Edition is equipped with a 110-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.8L per 100km. The 2017 TSI300 DSG Premium Edition is equipped with a 160-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.9L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of the Yeti is 55L. The distance each model can travel on a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 150-horsepower engine can travel 55/6.3*100=873km on a full tank. Models equipped with a 110-horsepower engine can travel 55/6.8*100=808km on a full tank. Models equipped with a 160-horsepower engine can travel 55/7.9*100=696km on a full tank. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars 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 car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to burn, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer controls the car to warm up at higher RPMs, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Yeti to work for several years, the 1.4T engine model. The urban fuel consumption is about 9 liters per 100 kilometers, and it can drop to 7 liters on the highway if driven steadily, which is quite economical overall. The car has a large fuel tank, and a full tank can run about 500 kilometers, making daily commuting not too expensive. However, in city sections with heavy traffic, fuel consumption can jump to over 10 liters, mainly due to frequent traffic lights and stop-and-go driving. I believe driving habits significantly affect fuel consumption—hard acceleration and sudden braking consume more fuel, so I've learned to gently press the accelerator and shift gears early, which has gradually improved efficiency. Additionally, using the air conditioning or driving in high summer temperatures slightly increases fuel consumption. The Yeti has a high ground clearance, providing good off-road capability, but it has slightly higher wind resistance on highways. Switching to low rolling resistance tires could save some fuel. Overall, fuel consumption remains at a moderate level, and with proper maintenance, it's more economical than many SUVs in its class.
