Is a fuel consumption of 10.8 normal for the Levin?
2 Answers
No, the Levin's fuel consumption is not that high. Here is a detailed introduction about the Levin: 1. Overview: The Levin is not only a stylish compact sedan but also leads comprehensively in space, fuel consumption, handling, safety, and quality. The new Levin adds a sports kit for the sports version. 2. Powertrain: The gasoline version still features a 1.2T+CVT powertrain combination, with a maximum power of 85kW and a peak torque of 185Nm. The hybrid model is equipped with a 1.8L Atkinson cycle engine and Toyota's THS II hybrid system, with the engine delivering a maximum power of 72kW and a peak torque of 142Nm.
I've been driving a Levin for several years, and my daily commute in the city usually results in a fuel consumption of around 8 liters. 10.8 sounds a bit high, but it depends on the specific situation. For example, if you often get stuck in traffic during peak hours, encounter many traffic lights, and have the air conditioning and audio system running, fuel consumption can easily soar above 10 liters. I once experienced fuel consumption reaching 11 liters during a rainy day traffic jam. I recommend checking your driving habits—avoid heavy acceleration and sudden braking, as these can significantly increase fuel consumption. Insufficient tire pressure also has a big impact; last time my tires were slightly underinflated, my fuel consumption went up by 1 liter. Regular oil changes and air filter replacements are also crucial. In short, 10.8 isn’t too abnormal, but if it stays that way long-term, optimizing these factors can bring it down. Otherwise, it might affect the car’s lifespan and fuel economy.
