What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for Volkswagen cars?
2 Answers
Volkswagen cars consume approximately 7 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. The theoretical fuel consumption figures typically announced by the manufacturer are usually based on the constant-speed fuel consumption at 90 km/h. Below are detailed explanations: 1. Constant-speed fuel consumption: This refers to the fuel economy indicator when a car is driven at a constant speed on good road conditions. Since constant-speed driving is a fundamental operating condition for vehicles on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. 2. Road cycle fuel consumption: Road cycle fuel consumption is the fuel economy indicator measured when a car is driven in repeated cycles according to specified speeds and time patterns on roads, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption.
I've been driving Volkswagen cars for many years, from the old Jetta to the new Tiguan, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers really depends on the specific model. Small cars like the Polo consume about 6 liters in the city and can drop to just over 5 liters on the highway, which is quite fuel-efficient. The Tiguan SUV I drive is a bit more fuel-intensive, reaching up to 10 liters or even more in the city with the air conditioning on, and around 8 liters on the highway. There are many factors affecting fuel consumption, such as your driving habits: frequent hard braking and rapid acceleration can cause fuel consumption to soar. Road conditions also play a key role—fuel consumption can double in traffic jams. Additionally, the age of the car matters; older cars with engine wear tend to consume more fuel. My advice is to maintain your car regularly, use high-quality engine oil, and clean the air filter, which can help you save 1 to 2 liters. Volkswagen's diesel models are even more fuel-efficient and perform well. Overall, the average fuel consumption for Volkswagen cars ranges from 5 to 12 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on the model you choose. Remember to check official data or use car owner apps to record actual fuel consumption, not just rely on advertisements.
