Does BYD consume a lot of fuel?
2 Answers
BYD does not consume much fuel. The relationship between fuel consumption and engine speed: The higher the engine speed, the greater the power and utilization rate, and the smaller the unit fuel consumption. Therefore, the fuel consumption of the car is higher at low speeds. 2. In order to master the economical driving speed while driving, the driver should learn to use the engine speedometer and speedometer, appropriately increase or decrease the throttle opening, and keep the engine working within the 30% to 70% speed range according to road conditions. The relationship between fuel consumption and air conditioning cooling system: Use the air conditioning cooling system reasonably. When the speed is below 85 km/h, you can turn off the air conditioning cooling system and open the windows for ventilation as needed; but when the speed is above 85 km/h, you should make full use of the air conditioning cooling system and do not open the windows. Because at high speeds, the fuel consumed by the increased wind resistance after opening the windows is more than the fuel consumed by the air conditioning cooling system.
Is BYD fuel-consuming? It depends on the specific model. As a BYD owner who has driven the Qin DM-i for over two years, I find it quite fuel-efficient for daily commuting, with an average fuel consumption of around 4.5L/100km—a world of difference compared to my previous gasoline car. For instance, in urban traffic jams, the DM-i system automatically switches to electric mode, where the engine hardly works, reducing fuel consumption to below 3L. On highways, consumption remains low at about 5L+. Key tips include maintaining proper tire pressure and regular oil changes to keep the car in good condition for better efficiency. Overall, BYD's hybrid series is truly not fuel-consuming and offers great value for money.
