Which consumes more fuel, the Superb or the Lingyu?

Both the Superb and the Lingyu have similar fuel consumption levels. Fuel Consumption: Commonly referred to as the amount of fuel consumed by a vehicle after driving 100 kilometers. The economic indicator of a car is mainly represented by fuel consumption, which is an important performance aspect of a vehicle. Specific reasons for high fuel consumption in cars: Affected by temperature: Leads to fluctuations in fuel consumption. In winter, when temperatures are low, fuel consumption tends to increase. Long periods without maintenance: Dirty engine oil and air filters can also lead to increased fuel consumption. Dirty oil causes poor lubrication, increasing resistance in the engine's moving parts, requiring more energy to overcome the resistance, which in turn raises fuel consumption. Excessive carbon buildup in the vehicle: Carbon buildup can occur in the throttle body, fuel injectors, intake manifold, and piston tops. Excessive carbon buildup in any of these areas can lead to incomplete combustion, resulting in higher fuel consumption.

I've driven the Superb and the Passat Lingyu for several years, and overall, the Superb feels more fuel-consuming, especially when starting in the city. My Superb is the 1.8T version, and during my daily commute with heavy traffic, the fuel consumption can reach 10L/100km. Meanwhile, my friend's same-displacement Passat Lingyu averages around 9.5L, possibly because the Lingyu is lighter and better optimized. Of course, this also depends on your driving habits—I often accelerate aggressively, which naturally consumes more fuel. Switching to eco mode or using higher-quality fuel might help save some, but overall, the Superb is still higher. To save money, you could opt for a smaller-displacement engine or directly compare official data to avoid future complaints. Regularly checking tire pressure and air filters while driving also helps; otherwise, fuel consumption can skyrocket. If you drive more on highways, the difference isn't as significant, but the Superb still tends to be slightly higher.

Fuel efficiency is my top priority when choosing a car. After driving both the Passat Lingyu and Superb, I found the Lingyu slightly more fuel-efficient. For urban commuting, the Superb 1.8T averages 9.2L/100km, while the Lingyu with the same engine consumes about 8.8L—the difference isn't huge, but it adds up to significant savings over time. Engine tuning and weight are key factors: the Superb offers more space but carries extra weight (dozens of kilograms), leading to higher fuel consumption during acceleration. On highways, both perform similarly at around 7.5L. I recommend avoiding aggressive acceleration—smooth driving reduces fuel use and maintenance costs. While neither offers hybrid options, aftermarket fuel-saving devices can help. Long-term, the Lingyu suits daily economical use better, whereas the Superb is ideal for those prioritizing space.

From a technical perspective, the fuel consumption of the Superb and Passat Lingyu depends on the engine and vehicle weight. Both use a 1.8T engine, but the Superb is heavier with slightly higher aerodynamic drag, resulting in approximately 5%-10% higher combined fuel consumption than the Passat Lingyu. In city driving, the Passat Lingyu can maintain below 9L/100km, while the Superb tends to be around 10L. Driving habits and road conditions also affect fuel efficiency: frequent stops/starts or uphill driving consumes more fuel. When choosing a car, check the specific model's manual or conduct real-road tests to minimize discrepancies.
