What is the fuel consumption per kilometer for the Polo 1.6 automatic?

According to official data, the POLO 1.5L model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 12 seconds. Factors affecting the vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in layman's terms, represents how much force is available. The greater the torque, the more force is available to propel the vehicle, naturally resulting in faster acceleration. The Vios FS has a maximum torque of 138 Nm and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.2 seconds. The POLO 1.5L has a torque of 145 Nm and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 12 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission is the medium for power transfer and inevitably involves power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, the ranking of transmission efficiency is as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The POLO 1.5L is equipped with a manual-automatic transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (unit is Hp/T). The higher the power-to-weight ratio, the faster the acceleration. The Vios FS has a power-to-weight ratio of 99 Hp/T and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.3 seconds. The POLO 1.5L has a power-to-weight ratio of 99 Hp/T and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 12 seconds.
I drive a Polo 1.6 automatic, and I've been using it for over two years. The actual fuel consumption in the city reaches 8-9 liters per 100 kilometers, which is equivalent to 0.08 to 0.09 liters per kilometer; on the highway, it's much more economical, only 6-7 liters, working out to about 0.06 liters per kilometer. I think fuel consumption mainly depends on road conditions and your driving habits. Slowing down in traffic jams and avoiding sudden acceleration can save a lot. Regular maintenance is also important, like changing the engine oil and checking the spark plugs, to prevent the engine from working harder and wasting fuel unnecessarily. Overall, this car isn't too fuel-intensive and is suitable for daily commuting. My cost per kilometer is roughly around fifty cents, which isn't a burden. Consumption can be higher when using the air conditioning in winter or carrying heavy loads, so it's good to pay attention to these details. Regularly checking tire pressure is also crucial, as low pressure can increase fuel consumption. These small things together can help you save money and drive with peace of mind. I recommend using an app to record actual data for more accuracy—don't just rely on official figures, as real-world experience is more truthful. Older models and the new Polo have similar fuel consumption, and with good maintenance, they're generally durable.
