Why is the fuel consumption of Jetta VS7 so high?
3 Answers
The high fuel consumption of the Jetta VS7 is due to the engine's technical condition causing excessive fuel consumption. Below is an introduction to the Jetta VS7: 1. Overview: The Jetta VS7 is another SUV product from the Jetta brand, positioned as a mid-size SUV. With the launch of the VS7, Jetta's SUV product line has been further enriched. 2. Exterior: It adopts the latest design language of the Jetta brand, featuring a newly designed brand logo that is full of personality. The polygonal chrome dot-matrix front grille, combined with the layered LED headlights on both sides, gives people a fresh perception of Jetta. The added LED daytime running lights, along with the neat front bumper and silver front lip decoration, create a certain sporty atmosphere.
I've been driving the Jetta VS7 for a while now, and the higher fuel consumption is mainly because it's a compact SUV with a substantial body weight of around 1.5 tons, much heavier than sedans. It's equipped with the Volkswagen EA211 turbocharged engine, which delivers strong power output but loses efficiency in stop-and-go city traffic, with frequent starts and stops wasting a lot of fuel. The wide tires have high rolling resistance, and the body design adds significant wind resistance, causing fuel consumption to spike on highways when facing headwinds. I've noticed fuel consumption can reach 9-10L/100km in city traffic jams. My advice is to maintain a steady speed, avoid sudden braking, and use higher-quality engine oil to improve fuel efficiency. Overall, it's comfortable to drive, but you'll need to budget for fuel costs.
As a frequent driver, I find the fuel consumption of the Jetta VS7 a bit hard to bear. During rush hour commutes, it easily exceeds 10L per 100km. I've tried various methods, like noticing how underinflated tires or a dirty air filter can significantly increase fuel consumption, especially after long trips. The car's heavy weight means that adding a roof rack or loading it up causes the fuel consumption to spike. Additionally, driving habits play a major role—when I'm in a hurry and accelerate aggressively, the car responds quickly but the fuel gauge drops just as fast. Hot weather with AC on or cold weather with longer engine warm-up times also affect fuel consumption. Now, with more experience, I've learned to be smarter—regularly checking the car's condition and using slow-start techniques to save fuel.
