Fuel Efficiency

[numnut]

Hi Guys,

Wondering what fuel efficiency you get in the tiggy?

i remember reading reviews before i bought the car it was 9.x/100km (could be wrong or might have been the diesel) but realisticly it's 11.x/100km for me. It's 9.x when i have done long highway driving with economy mode on.

i'm not complaining, i know it's a SUV. But would like to know what you guys get.

I have the 132tsi.

Thanks!

Yeah. We do loads of short trips. It's about the same as you


Tiguan 162tsi Rline fully loaded - NSW

[Gladbach]

I have a 162TSI. I average around 11-12l/100km for my daily commute (lots of stop-start traffic). My right foot is pretty heavy though.

When I drove from Sydney to the hunter valley, it dropped to about 8l/100km, and that wasn't in eco.

[TheTig]

After 3000Km averaging 9.6l, however have been doing a bit on the freeway and the 1st 1500km I took it very easy, expecting the economy to get worse though as my daily highway drive has finished so a lot more stop/start to/from work each day from now on. Will see I guess.

[tignumber2]

I took a 162TSI for a test drive last week for over an hour. I was giving it a fair bit of curry for the duration, mainly around town. The figure was 11.4 l/100km which I was pretty impressed with. I think I will get the 162 but it will all depend on how long I have to wait for it.

[NW3192]

Just got 6.5/100 on a trip to Melb Airport. Mix of urban and freeway in reasonably heavy traffic. Long term figure is currently 8.6/100 which is bit high for me (although wife / daughter have been driving .. who are both heavy on the foot).

I have just done my first monitored refuel of the 140TDI Tig. Total kms - 536, 34.9 litres = 6.5 litres / 100kms.


This involved 300km driving from Canberra to Sydney plus 236 driving around Canberra.


I monitored the trip to/from Sydney uing the AID. For both trips I had ECO set plus I used the ACC set at 110. For the trip to Sydney I achieved 5.6 l/km and from Sydney to Canberra I achieved 6.1 l/km.


This small difference is actually important. The trip to Sydney is downhill. This means there is many more opportunities to use the 'coasting' feature of ECO. I believe the coasting is probably the most significant contributor to ECO fuel consumption. When driving in Canberra it is surprising how many times the car will coast and when it does you can see the average consumption go down.


I think the coasting is more significant than changing up the gears early, and more significant than the start-stop. It would be interesting to hear others experience and comments.


Using 5.6 l/km for the trip to Sydney we can work out that for the 236 km in Canberra there was an average consumption of 7.6, which is probably about right when compared to the average consumptions being displayed on the AID.


Overall I am very happy with the fuel consumption so far.

[Sydneykid]

I always use more fuel, no matter what car I am driving, on the Sydney to Wakefield Park trip than I do on the return trip. Definitely more downhill on the way back.

It is that small hill from Picton Road to Mittagong that is the killer on that trip! We used to race at WP and my 304 Statesman got about 19L/100 going down and about 11 coming back. The TDI Skoda blew the V8's doors off towing the same trailer and used about 8L/100 going down! MY 162 gets around 8.5 just running around but there is very little traffic and mostly open highway.

[GeeMoney]

In The Netherlands we don't have any hills and our 2.0 TDI DSG is only running at 150bhp .
Doing 6.5l/100km on average now. (drove 1800km in totall)

[SA_Tig]

Hey all. Thought id share my experience. New 162 Tig. 1500kms on clock. Adelaide to Melbourne. 2 adults and luggage. In eco mode no aircon. Once at my destination i completed 800kms with 80 range according to trip. Great result i think on one tank. Especially we were sitting on speed limit whole way. Better than my old 132tsi Tig.

[ABT 162TSI MK2 Tiguan]

On the freeway, I can get around 7-8l*

*Not in eco mode

[DoggiesUtd]

Im getting around 12l lol 140tdi
Only on 800ks atm

[Kachingg]

Im getting around 12l lol 140tdi
Only on 800ks atm


Wow thats a lot different to my alltrack guess its the size/weight of the new tig i drive in sport mode exclusively and with 5000km have a long term 7.0ltr/100k and 5.8 on a long highway trip (135 tdi)

With my right foot glad i did not go the 132tsi!

[Cobwebs]

Just completed a 2800km road trip. Fuel consumption was absolutely great. It is mostly highway. I have been tracking the fuel usage on Fuelly. See below for details

Red Tig (Volkswagen Tiguan) | Fuelly (http://www.fuelly.com/car/volkswagen/tiguan/2017/cobwebs/664159)

[DoggiesUtd]

its only the 2nd tank, did another 50kms on it yday, now down to 9.4/100km

not too bad

highway drives definately getting down to mid 6s, but being under 1000km it will fluctuate

[ian]

I have the 2015 model Tiguan with the 130KW diesel engine ,I dont drive it that much as i maily drive my Navara Ute around safer in car parks,
Its only done just over 14,000 and maily on long trips the Average is 6.5 litres per 100 km

[arayasam]

My 132 gives an avg of 8.0 with both freeway and city everyday drive (its on normal drive).

Which fuel are you running?
95RON or 98?

[vwdriver]

I'm getting 7.8 long term over 5400km in my 132tsi mostly running 98RON as local servo doesn't carry 95 anymore....

[Delewin]

31926Our first decent "out of city" drive. Left Chatswood area and stopped in Albury for lunch and filled up. For the the most part we were showing 7.6 L/100KM to 7.8 L/100KM. This is also achieved sitting on 110 KM/Hr.

On the whole, I am very impressed. Based on the above, IF we could be focused enough and drive at no more than 80 KM/Hr, I think we could get from Sydney to Melbourne on one tank of petrol. BTW, This Tiguan has the 162TSI motor. :)

[Delewin]

Type in previous reply. Should be 6.6 to 6.8 L/100KM.

What fuel are you using 95 or 98? We did 380km yesterday in Sports mode, averaged 9.4l/per 100km...

Thought I'd re-ignite this thread. I drive the 2017 Gen2 132 TSI and live in WA. I just came back from a round trip from near Perth to Albany. Had the trip metre reset after re-fueling (ron 98 ) my car to full (63 litres inc reserves) before heading off and on the return trip I partially filled the car with ~29 litres (ron 98 ). Total mileage completed during the trip was 1122 KM with ~ 240 KM of distance remaining. I was the only occupant in the car, was mainly driving in Eco mode with ACC and was carrying about 30 - 40 KG of load.
I took a non-direct longer route to Albany and the direct shorter route from Albany. Whilst in Albany I was driving into Salmon Hole to and from my accommodation in total 3 times but also drove into town a few times.
In numerical terms that would be approximately ~14.8 KM/litre or ~ 6.75 L/100KM.

[anonymousmoose]

162tsi I've been averaging under 8 litres per 100km. That's some highway driving with lots of traffic lights. I got to be pretty light on the pedal and coast a lot to get that.

[Just_Westy]

140tdi and currently sitting on 5.9 l/100k around Sydney, did a trip yesterday western Syd to hurstville rtn and averaged 5.1 L/100k. I can't believe how economical the 140tdi is and it's only done 1000k's. I really expected mid 6's and tbh if the cars running fine don't care how much fuel it uses.

I doubt there would be much difference between the Tiguan and Passat Alltrack when it comes to fuel economy, very similar weights.

[Special agent]

We managed around 8.4 L / 100km on a trip to Apollo Bay the other weekend. This included a trip up to what’s left of the 12 Apostles & the lighthouse at Cape Otway. This is with around 2000km since new.
I’m running 98 in our R-Line but would consider running 95 to see if there is any difference.

It's not just the weight but the aerodynamic efficiency which puts the Tiguan at a slight disadvantage. The official numbers for the 140tdi are 5.9 in the Tiguan versus 5.4 in the Passat Alltrack.

Have got my Tig in for it's first service today and long term consumption, travelled 14,850Km since pickup, is 10.3/100Km. I track every fuel purchase and KMs in the app Fuelly.

I do a LOT of driving in heavy traffic and short trips so pretty happy with where it's at, plus it's great to be able to give it a blat from time to time and blow out the cobwebs :)

I also use fuelly to track consumption as I find the car's read out about 5-10% optimistic.

Point taken the Passat appears to be about 30 kgs heavier but is more aerodynamic so that would be a definate advantage. They are both quite frugal in TDI guise, it was a hard choice between the Tig and Passat in the showroom.

[a1ring23]

Have a 132 Adventure, fuel economy is in the low 9s. Mostly city, start/stop driving with some freeway runs. Aircon run 95% of the time. Driven approx 3000km.

[craig_perth]

I've done a long trip recently expecting to get around 7-8's for the long trip, as my mk7 gti was around 7 on the same trip. On the way there it was 10L per 100km, on the way back it was 8.9L see attached. No chance of doing it on one tank.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

That's not too bad! I've been averaging 15-16L per 100 lol

I think I need foot control.

[Kachingg]

Yes indeed i have the same issue lol

My diesel does 7.5 to 8ltr/100 when everyone else gets 5.8 to 6

If you find the foot control let me know :)

[ArdiL]

This car is getting better economy with age I think, just hit 10K. pushed it to 850km this time.
Photo was taken at Caltex Servo b4 filling up with my usual trusty Vortex95.

I have a 2017 162 TSI Highline. On a trip from Sydney to Melbourne using Eco mode I approached a displayed 6.7 ltrs/100km when I filled up in Albury. But when I did the calculations it turned out to be 7.2 ltrs/100km. Still respectable, but 60 litres will not get me from Sydney to Melbourne on 1 tank.

For the first two tanks in my 2nd hand Tig 110TSi Man (now approaching 14,000 kms), I have indicated 6.6 but actually measured 6.8l/100. Still very happy.

Canberra Sydney is normally 6.4
