Fuel Consumption of the 10th Generation Accord on Highways?
3 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the 10th Generation Accord is 7-9L. Here is an introduction about the Accord: 1. Powertrain Configuration: This car is equipped with an Earth Dreams series engine, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission, delivering very strong power. 2. Models: (1) One is the hybrid version. (2) The other is the fuel version. 3. Three Engine Options: (1) Low-power 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. (2) High-power 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. (3) 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine.
As an owner of a 10th-generation Accord for five years, I can attest to its excellent highway fuel efficiency. When cruising at 90-100 km/h, the fuel gauge typically shows around 5L/100km. On my last trip from Guangzhou to Shenzhen—a smooth 300km drive—I used less than 16L of fuel, averaging 5.2L. The 1.5T engine delivers ample power while remaining fuel-efficient. However, weather and road conditions significantly impact consumption: AC usage in summer adds ~0.5L/100km, and headwinds or traffic congestion increase consumption further. My advice: plan routes to avoid peak hours, maintain tire pressure at ~2.3bar, and avoid overloading the trunk. Monthly maintenance checks (engine oil/filters) ensure optimal engine performance—making highway driving both economical and worry-free.
I always enjoy analyzing car data. The highway fuel consumption of the 10th-generation Accord varies across different configurations; the 1.5T gasoline version averages 5.5 liters per 100 km, while the hybrid version goes even lower to 4.5 liters. Honda's ECON mode, when activated, optimizes fuel efficiency and reduces waste from sudden acceleration. Aerodynamic drag and speed are key factors; 110 km/h is the sweet spot, exceeding 120 km/h pushes consumption above 6 liters. Tire wear and weight also drag down efficiency, so I regularly switch to low rolling resistance tires to lighten the load. Avoid setting the AC too cold—intermittent use can save a bit. On long trips, checking the cooling system prevents engine overheating and extra fuel consumption. These small details add up, saving hundreds in fuel costs annually—worth it!
