How High Is the Fuel Consumption of the Big 7?
2 Answers
The official fuel consumption of the Luxgen Big 7 is 8.7L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity of the Luxgen Big 7 is 75L. When fully fueled, it can travel a distance of 75/8.7*100=862km. 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 specific factors that increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before encountering a red light can increase 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 for combustion. Heavier cars also have higher fuel consumption due to the need for greater driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during a cold start, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I drove the Luxgen U7 SUV for a whole year last year, and I must say the fuel consumption was quite high. In the city, it often reached 15L/100km, and it could go even higher in heavy traffic. On the highway, it barely dropped to around 10L. The car itself is quite heavy, nearly 2 tons, and coupled with the older 2.2T turbocharged engine, it wasn’t designed to be fuel-efficient. I spent almost 2,000 yuan on gas every month, which was really hard to handle. If you have a long daily commute, I’d advise you to think carefully, especially with current fuel prices being so high. Additionally, the car has high aerodynamic drag, making it even less fuel-efficient at higher speeds. Overall, it’s not the best choice for frequent daily commuting.
