Is Cadillac Fuel Efficient?
2 Answers
2018 Cadillac XTS, the official fuel consumption reference data provided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is an average fuel consumption of 7.9 liters per 100 kilometers. However, the actual fuel consumption may vary depending on driving conditions and individual driving habits. Tips for saving fuel while driving: 1. Avoid prolonged idling or low-speed driving. 2. Avoid excessive vehicle load and a full fuel tank. 3. Avoid using high-viscosity engine oil. 4. Try to control speed with the accelerator rather than the brake. 5. Open windows less at high speeds. 6. Maintain the vehicle promptly. 7. Use the air conditioning appropriately. 8. Set the tire pressure reasonably. 9. Understanding road conditions is important.
I've been driving Cadillacs for over 30 years, from the old DeVille to the new XT5. The older models used big V8 engines with astonishing fuel consumption - they could burn over 20 liters per kilometer, real gas guzzlers. The new models like the XT5 come with smaller 2.0T turbocharged engines, reducing highway fuel consumption to 8-9 liters per 100km, and about 11-12 liters in city traffic. While still slightly higher than vehicles like the Honda CR-V, they offer significantly improved sound insulation and comfort. Cadillac has made real progress in fuel efficiency, especially when paired with advanced transmissions for smoother driving. If you're concerned about fuel consumption, choosing the hybrid version or maintaining regular engine servicing can help.
