Volkswagen Touran fuel consumption

Of all Volkswagen Touran modifications produced from 2003 to 2020 real fuel consumption according to user ratings is approximately 15% higher compared to advertised consumption. For petrol engines real consumption is in average 18% higher, but for diesel engines is approximately 13% higher. Starting from 2003 Volkswagen Touran average difference between actual owner-reported fuel consumption and stated consumption was slightly above industry average, at 2005 it was similar to average, at 2010 difference became significantly higher than average and finally at 2015 difference between owner-reported and advertised fuel economy became less than industry average. It is noteworthy during this period that the gap between advertised and actual fuel economy changed significantly throughout the automotive industry. For more details, see the table below.

* - Difference between advertised and user reported fuel economy has been calculated taking into account only those car versions for which information is available both on the fuel consumption specified by the manufacturer and reported by users.

User-reported fuel consumption may not accurately represent all users' experiences due to variables such as driving conditions, driving style, technical condition of the vehicle, and other circumstances. Thus, it should not be relied upon as a representative indicator.
