Which is more fuel-efficient, the Fit or the Volkswagen Polo?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of both the Fit and the Volkswagen Polo is not high, with the Polo being slightly more fuel-efficient. Here are the introductions of the two models: 1. Volkswagen Polo: The Polo has the same horsepower and torque as the previous 1.6 model, which are 110 horsepower and 150 Nm. According to real feedback from owners, the actual fuel consumption for the manual transmission is 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers, and 5.8 liters for the automatic transmission. 2. Fit: The Fit is a hatchback launched by GAC Honda, positioned as the third generation of the "Cool Hatchback," targeting the new generation of "post-90s" who pursue individuality, with a spacious interior. The fuel consumption of the Fit is 5.3-5.7L/100km.
Having driven the Fit for five or six years, I feel its hybrid version is particularly fuel-efficient in the city, averaging around 4.5L/100km, and just over 5L on the highway. Turning on the air conditioning doesn’t make much difference. I’ve test-driven the Volkswagen Polo several times; the 1.0T version has a city fuel consumption of about 5.8L and 5.2L on the highway, which is less efficient than the Fit on paper. Both cars are quite nimble, but the Fit’s engine is better optimized, especially with smoother auto start-stop in traffic jams. Driving habits are crucial—gradual acceleration can save a lot on fuel. For weekend getaways, the Fit can go much farther on a full tank, and its simple maintenance makes it ideal for city commuters to prioritize.
