What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Volkswagen Touran?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Touran consumes 7.4 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. Avoid prolonged engine idling: When the vehicle is idling, the engine consumes significantly more fuel than during normal driving. Therefore, it is advisable to turn off the engine if the vehicle is not moving for an extended period, such as when waiting for someone while parked. Try to avoid sudden braking and acceleration: A smooth and steady driving style is the most fuel-efficient. During the initial acceleration phase, avoid pressing the accelerator pedal too hard. The correct method is to accelerate smoothly. Once a certain speed is reached, try to maintain a constant speed. In congested traffic, always assess the road conditions ahead to avoid sudden braking, which not only saves fuel but also extends the vehicle's lifespan. Maintain an appropriate driving speed: Generally, the most fuel-efficient speed is around 88.5 kilometers per hour. Fuel consumption increases when the speed rises to 105 kilometers per hour.
I've been driving my Touran L 1.4T for two or three years now, and the most frustrating thing about city commuting is the fuel consumption. During morning and evening rush hour traffic jams, the dashboard shows it can spike to 9.5-10 liters per 100km, and it's even worse on roads with frequent traffic lights. But on weekends when I take the family on highway trips, it's much more comfortable—keeping a steady speed around 100 km/h usually stays just over 6 liters, and with the AC on, it's around 6.5. The 55-liter fuel tank isn't particularly large, but a full tank can last over 800 km on long trips. Maintenance really affects fuel economy—last time I forgot to replace the air filter on time, and the fuel consumption inexplicably increased by 0.8 liters. After getting new tires, it dropped back a bit. My friend's older 2.0L model has much higher fuel consumption—it starts at 11 liters in the city.
