Volkswagen Tiguan Mileage

Driving Behavior: The way you drive your Tiguan will play a key part in its fuel economy. Rash driving, driving in heavy traffic, and constantly shifting between accelerator and brakes have adverse effects on the engine and mileage. It has been found that excessive braking, acceleration, and speeding can reduce fuel efficiency by more than 33% on highways and by 5% at modest speeds in town.

Clean Filters: Clogged air and oil filters put extra pressure on the engine and can hamper the performance of your Tiguan. Go for filter changes and cleaning. You can increase acceleration time by around 6% to 11% by replacing a filthy air filter. An authentic VW air filter helps shield your engine from contaminants.

Weather: Different seasons have a subtle effect on the car. During summers, dust, debris, and other summer pollutants can contaminate the air and harm your engine. These get clogged in the air filter. Moreover, summer causes the engine to heat up significantly. Conversely, in winter, it takes extra pressure for the engine to warm up. Monsoons lead to water damaging parts of the car. It is important to go for servicing according to seasonal changes. 

Fuel Quality: The type of petrol you use also has a connection with its mileage. By using the appropriate oil, you can increase fuel efficiency by 1% to 2%. Your motor's lifespan can be increased with routine oil changes. To find the best oil for your Tiguan, you can use Volkswagen’s specialised app that tracks your location and suggests the most reliable petrol stations nearby.

Tyre Pressure: Over or under-inflated tyres put pressure on the engine and lower the mileage. In fact, maintaining adequate tyre air pressure can increase fuel efficiency by roughly 3.3%.
