Method to check the comprehensive fuel consumption of the Elysion: Simply press the menu button on the steering wheel, then locate the instantaneous fuel consumption or comprehensive fuel consumption in the trip computer to view the vehicle's comprehensive fuel consumption. The Elysion requires 95-octane gasoline. High-quality gasoline is not only more fuel-efficient but also helps the engine perform better, which can extend the engine's lifespan to some extent. The Elysion is a mid-to-high-end MPV model launched by Dongfeng . The vehicle measures 4935 mm in length, 1845 mm in width, and 1805 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2900 mm. In terms of exterior design, the Elysion continues the concept car's design, featuring chrome decorations in multiple areas, giving an overall impression of elegance and beauty.

Every time I drive my Elysian to pick up and drop off my kids, I check the comprehensive fuel consumption data. Just locate the ECO button with the leaf symbol on the dashboard, then briefly press the INFO button on the right side of the steering wheel to cycle through the display. My current urban commuting fuel consumption shows around 9.2L, and it can jump to 11L in heavy traffic. Highway driving is much more fuel-efficient, with cruise control bringing it down to just over 7L. I recommend resetting the trip meter after refueling to get more accurate fuel consumption readings. I also keep a manual fuel log in the car, calculating actual consumption after each refill, and the difference from the car's data is less than 0.5L—the onboard fuel stats are quite reliable. By the way, you can also check recent fuel consumption trends anytime using the Connect mobile app.

Last week, I just helped my neighbor adjust the fuel consumption display on the Elysion. After starting the vehicle, look at the central area of the digital dashboard—there's a green bar graph showing the fuel consumption interface. Use the arrow buttons on the lower right of the steering wheel to toggle between three sets of data: fuel consumption since the last start/fuel consumption since the last refuel/trip mileage fuel consumption. Focus on the second set for the most accurate reading, and remember to hold the TRIP button to reset the data every time you fill up the tank. I’ve driven several long-distance trips with three passengers and the AC on, averaging 8.3L. The instantaneous fuel consumption bar is particularly useful—when it turns red during uphill climbs, ease off the throttle a bit. In eco mode, throttle response becomes sluggish, but it can save nearly 1L of fuel.

As a seasoned Elysion driver, checking comprehensive fuel consumption is straightforward. Without starting the engine after powering on, repeatedly press the cylindrical knob below the instrument panel with your right hand. The LCD screen will display a fuel can icon and numbers - my Premium trim averages 7.5L highway and fluctuates around 10L in city driving. Sudden fuel consumption spikes warrant tire pressure checks; just 0.3Bar underinflation can increase consumption by 5%. For accurate measurement, conduct monthly tests on flat roads: fill up, drive 100km, then refill at the same pump - this gives more reliable figures than the dashboard display. Once my display showed 8.8L when actual consumption was 9.3L, which turned out to be caused by carbon buildup on the oxygen sensor.

After driving the hybrid version of Elysian for two years, the combined fuel consumption has remained stable at around 6.2L. To view the data, pay attention to the button cluster with square frames on the left side of the steering wheel. Find the one labeled 'INFO' and press it until the page displaying the leaf symbol and L/100km unit appears. A special reminder: turning off the air conditioning yields more accurate measurements, as cooling consumes an additional 0.8L of fuel. The day before yesterday, during a family trip, using eco mode and gently pressing the accelerator achieved a new low of 5.9L. Remember to check the monthly report in the car's system to track fuel refills and driving routes. Winter consumes 0.5L more fuel than summer because the engine needs to maintain water temperature.

When driving the company's Elysion, I specifically studied the fuel consumption monitoring. There are three overlapping square icon buttons on the right side of the steering wheel; pressing them cyclically brings up the fuel consumption page. The Platinum Edition touchscreen can also store three sets of historical data, and I make a habit of recording data after each refueling. Actual tests showed that driving with full load and air conditioning consumes 2 liters more than when empty, and cold starts have a 10% higher instantaneous fuel consumption than when the engine is warm. After creating a six-month trend chart, I found that using 92-octane fuel consumes an average of 0.7L more than 95-octane but is more economical. I recommend resetting the data after each ; once, worn spark plugs caused a sudden spike of 1.3L in fuel consumption, which immediately returned to normal after replacement.
