How does the Macchiato perform on highways?
1 Answers
The Macchiato addresses the relatively weak performance of hybrid models on highways by adopting a two-speed DHT solution. Under high-speed conditions, the DHT operates in parallel mode, with both the engine and motor directly driving the vehicle, thereby achieving lower fuel consumption and resolving the issue of higher fuel consumption in hybrid models on highways. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Incorrect driving habits have the greatest impact on fuel consumption. During driving, especially in heavy traffic, at red lights, or when changing lanes, sudden acceleration and braking are the most common issues. Experts have conducted fuel consumption tests during acceleration, finding that fuel consumption increases by 2 to 3 times compared to driving at a constant speed. Tips for reducing fuel consumption: If you want to save fuel, avoid frequent lane changes, overtaking, and merging. Besides increasing fuel consumption, these actions also raise the risk of accidents, and each gear shift consumes additional fuel. Even in traffic jams, try to queue in order; cutting in line will only result in more fuel consumption.
