Which has lower fuel consumption, Tayron or Tiguan L?
2 Answers
Tiguan has lower fuel consumption. The actual fuel consumption of Tayron when maintaining speed is 15.96 liters, while that of Tiguan when maintaining speed is 15.89 liters. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Incorrect driving habits have the greatest impact on fuel consumption. During driving, especially in heavy traffic, at red lights, or when changing lanes, sudden acceleration and braking are the most common issues. Experts have conducted fuel consumption tests during acceleration and found that fuel consumption increases by 2 to 3 times compared to driving at a constant speed. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Regular maintenance of the vehicle according to the maintenance schedule ensures its proper operation. This not only benefits the environment but also results in lower fuel consumption, as a well-maintained car consumes less fuel. Although a single maintenance service might not be cheap, it saves more on fuel costs in the long run.
As someone who frequently follows Volkswagen models, I notice some differences in fuel consumption between the Tayron and Tiguan L. The Tayron often uses a 1.5T gasoline engine or plug-in hybrid versions, such as the 1.5TSI paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Official fuel consumption data shows about 8L/100km in urban areas, dropping to around 6.5L on highways, with even lower figures for the plug-in hybrid in pure electric mode. The base version of the Tiguan L typically comes with a 2.0T engine, and its larger body leads to increased weight, resulting in slightly higher real-world fuel consumption compared to the Tayron—often close to 9L/100km in cities, though the difference on highways is minimal. Ultimately, fuel efficiency depends on the engine and vehicle weight pairing. If you opt for the Tayron’s hybrid version, it offers better economy; for regular gasoline versions, the Tayron is generally lighter and more agile, while the Tiguan L suits those who prefer spacious interiors but with slightly higher fuel consumption. For daily driving, I recommend test-driving to measure it yourself, as driving habits like aggressive acceleration can increase consumption by a few percentage points. Overall, combining official data and personal usage, the Tayron tends to be slightly more fuel-efficient in most scenarios.
