What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of the Tiguan?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of the Tiguan is 6.9-8.6L/100km. The currently available Tiguan models include the 2022 330TSI automatic two-wheel-drive Zhixiang Edition, 380TSI automatic four-wheel-drive R-Line Flagship Edition 7-seater, 330TSI automatic two-wheel-drive R-Line Yuexiang Edition, 380TSI automatic four-wheel-drive R-Line Yuexiang Edition 7-seater, 330TSI automatic two-wheel-drive R-Line Flagship Edition, and 330TSI automatic two-wheel-drive Shuxiang Edition, totaling 6 models. The official NEDC combined fuel consumption is 6.6-7.7L/100km. Among models in the same class, the Tharu has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 5.9-7.0L/100km, the Haval H9 has 9.9L/100km, the Tayron has 6.7-7.5L/100km, the Envision has 7.1-7.6L/100km, and the BMW X1 has 6.1-9.2L/100km. 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. The details are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, increases fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements generally mean higher power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Cars with greater weight also 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 the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Tiguan for several years, with an average fuel consumption around 7.5 liters. On highways, it drops to about 6.5 liters, but in city traffic with frequent stops and starts, it can easily rise above 8.5 liters. The key lies in driving habits: aggressive acceleration and braking consume more fuel, while gentle driving can save 1-2 liters. Road conditions also play a significant role; using air conditioning in summer can increase fuel consumption by 0.5 liters. I make sure to maintain proper tire pressure, change air filters and engine oil regularly to keep the engine efficient. Vehicle weight is another factor, so I avoid carrying unnecessary items. Overall, the Tiguan's fuel consumption is quite economical compared to other SUVs. Through experience, I've learned that leaving early to avoid peak hours is more effective than any fuel-saving technique.
