Is a Corolla Hybrid's fuel consumption of 5.5 normal?
1 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Corolla Hybrid is 4.0-4.1L/100km. There are currently 3 models of the Corolla Hybrid on sale. The E-CVT Pioneer version has a fuel consumption of 4L/100km, while the E-CVT Elite and E-CVT Flagship versions consume 4.1L/100km. The above figures are NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption data measured under NEDC test procedures. The actual fuel consumption ranges between 2.0-3.0L/100km. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before reaching traffic lights will increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because greater displacement typically means higher power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also have higher fuel consumption as greater weight demands more 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 during windy conditions increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block temperature is low during cold starts, injected gasoline doesn't atomize easily, requiring more gasoline for combustion and increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, the engine computer controls higher RPMs for warm-up in cold temperatures, which also increases fuel consumption.
