GS4 Fuel Consumption

[SanBrielle]

The fuel consumption of the Trumpchi GS4 is 6.8L/100km. The currently available models of the Trumpchi GS4 include the 2022 270T Automatic Smart Flagship Edition, Automatic Smart Navigation Edition, DCT Premium Edition, Manual Elite Edition, Manual Comfort Edition, and Automatic Smart Technology Edition, totaling six models. The official NEDC combined fuel consumption is slightly lower than the actual fuel consumption, at 6.8L/100km. Among vehicles in the same class, the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.6-7.7L/100km, the Venucia T70 has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 7.2-7.3L/100km, the Jetour X90 has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 7.6-8.1L/100km, the Geely Boyue has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 7.1-7.7L/100km, and the Roewe RX5 has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.8-6.9L/100km. The level of a car's fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. The details are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before encountering a red light, increases fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight also consume more fuel because heavier weight requires greater driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance, resulting in higher fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.

I've been driving the GAC GS4 SUV recently, using it for daily commutes and weekend trips. Overall, its fuel consumption is quite reasonable. In congested urban areas, it averages about 10 liters per 100 km, rising to 12 liters with frequent traffic lights and jams. But it's quite fuel-efficient on highways, dropping to 7.5 liters. From personal experience, maintaining proper tire pressure is crucial—too low increases resistance and fuel consumption. Using the air conditioning more also raises fuel usage, noticeably by 0.5 liters in summer heat. The GS4's spacious interior and convenient trunk make it great for families. Though its fuel consumption is higher than smaller cars, it's worth it. Regular maintenance, like changing air filters, can significantly improve fuel efficiency. I've developed a habit of gentle acceleration and avoiding sudden braking, which has saved me a lot on fuel costs in the long run.

As a commuter, I drive my GS4 50 kilometers to work every day, covering both urban and highway sections, with an average fuel consumption fluctuating around 9 liters. It's common for the consumption to spike up to 12 liters in city traffic jams, while cruising on the highway stabilizes it below 8 liters. Road conditions have a significant impact—consumption is slightly higher on rainy days due to slippery roads, while smooth driving on sunny days makes a noticeable difference. I've also noticed that the GS4's weight design is reasonable, and its low wind resistance helps save fuel. A handy tip is to check the tires monthly, keeping the tire pressure between 2.3-2.5 bar for optimal performance. Don't overlook cleaning the fuel system as the car ages, as older vehicles tend to have higher fuel consumption. Compared to other SUVs in the same price range, the GS4's fuel consumption isn't outstanding but is acceptable.

Having driven the GS4 for a year now, my urban commuting fuel consumption is around 10 liters per 100 kilometers, while on highways it's lower at approximately 7 liters. Driving habits play a crucial role—driving steadily can save fuel. Temperature changes also have an impact, with higher air conditioning usage increasing fuel consumption. I've found that maintenance is key; regularly replacing the air filter and engine oil helps keep fuel consumption stable.
