Chery Kunpeng Hybrid's Fuel Consumption When Battery is Depleted?

Chery Kunpeng Hybrid's fuel consumption when the battery is depleted is below 5L. Chery's "world-first" all-functional hybrid configuration, the Kunpeng DHT, excels in power, fuel efficiency, and smoothness. Fuel consumption when the battery is depleted refers to the fuel consumption achieved when a hybrid vehicle is completely driven by its fuel engine with the battery completely drained. In this scenario, the fuel consumption of the vehicle is relatively high because the fuel engine in a hybrid vehicle primarily serves the purpose of generating electricity rather than providing power to the vehicle. The reasons for the surge in fuel consumption when the battery is depleted are as follows: apart from ensuring stable battery voltage during startup to provide sufficient energy for the spark plugs and ensure complete fuel combustion, when the power consumption of the vehicle's electrical equipment exceeds the generator's supply capacity during driving, the battery and the generator jointly supply power to the vehicle's electrical equipment.

The fuel consumption performance of the Chery Kunpeng hybrid in depleting mode is quite impressive, typically around 4.8L/100km. After driving this car for several months myself, I found that the engine efficiency remains high even when the battery is depleted, without the dramatic fuel consumption spikes seen in conventional gasoline cars. Especially in urban traffic jams, the fuel consumption in depleting mode can stay stable below 5L, and it remains within this range even on long-distance trips. This is thanks to its intelligent hybrid system, which automatically switches to fuel priority mode when the battery is low, maintaining smooth power output while saving a significant amount on fuel costs. Compared to pure gasoline models, the fuel consumption in depleting mode is nearly 30% lower, saving hundreds of yuan in fuel expenses over time, making it highly practical for daily commuters. It's recommended to maintain normal driving habits, avoid frequent sudden acceleration, and let the system manage energy automatically for even lower fuel consumption.

As a hybrid technology enthusiast, I must say that the Chery Kunpeng's fuel consumption control under depleted battery conditions is quite impressive, staying below 5L/100km. Depleted battery fuel consumption mainly refers to the amount of fuel consumed when the vehicle operates in pure fuel mode after the battery is exhausted. In this mode, the Kunpeng system optimizes the coordination between the engine and motor to avoid unnecessary losses, with actual urban driving averaging 4.9L/100km and slightly lower on highways. The key lies in the energy recovery design, which makes the engine output more efficient, unlike some older hybrid vehicles with fluctuating fuel consumption. This balance ensures driving comfort while reducing emissions, making it suitable for tech-savvy friends to test its actual performance under different road conditions.

From an environmental perspective, I'm impressed by the Chery Kunpeng hybrid's fuel consumption of 4.8-5.0L/100km in battery-depleted mode, which is significantly more efficient than traditional SUVs. The battery-depleted state is equivalent to pure fuel driving, but hybrid technology significantly reduces carbon emissions. In daily use, saving approximately 2kg of carbon dioxide emissions per 100 kilometers makes it much more eco-friendly. It's recommended that owners regularly check their vehicle's condition and ensure battery health to further optimize fuel efficiency. Simple changes in driving habits, such as avoiding sudden braking, can also contribute to greener travel.
