What is the real fuel consumption of the Kodiaq?
2 Answers
The official combined fuel consumption (L/100km) provided for the Kodiaq is 6.8-8.3L/100km, while netizens' feedback varies widely with no upper or lower limits. However, these are all real fuel consumption figures, as everyone encounters different driving conditions on the road, leading to varying fuel consumption. Additional information: Vehicle fuel consumption is calculated based on the fuel consumed per 100 kilometers (commonly referred to as 100 km). The method to calculate real fuel consumption: Average fuel consumption = (Total fuel added - Last fuel added) / Distance traveled. Difference: Since cars often experience acceleration, deceleration, braking, and engine idling during actual driving, the constant-speed fuel consumption is often lower and significantly different from the actual fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Skoda Kodiaq as a family car for two years, mainly commuting in the city during rush hours with heavy traffic. The actual fuel consumption is around 9L/100km, rising to 10L when using air conditioning in summer. During weekend highway trips with kids, the consumption drops to 6.5L/100km - the engine feels quite powerful. I chose the 1.5T version which is more fuel-efficient than the 2.0T, though consumption will definitely increase with frequent heavy loads or mountain driving. To reduce fuel usage, I recommend maintaining steady speeds and avoiding sudden braking; regular tire pressure checks and engine filter maintenance also help. Given its SUV weight, urban fuel consumption is naturally higher than smaller cars. Based on my records, the combined average is about 8L - not the most fuel-efficient SUV, but its spaciousness makes it very practical.
