It is normal for the Wuling Hongguang S to consume 10 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. Below is relevant information about fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: This refers to the amount of fuel a vehicle consumes when driving a certain distance at a specified speed. It is a theoretical indicator for vehicles. Manufacturers determine this value by using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis under controlled conditions, converting the results into speed parameters, and then calculating the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data for the model. 2. Road condition fuel consumption: This is a fuel consumption indicator calculated based on repeated tests where the vehicle is driven on specified roads at prescribed speeds and times. It is also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption.
Having driven Wuling Hongguang and similar vehicles for over a decade, I find 10 liters per 100km quite reasonable. The official fuel consumption for Wuling Hongguang S typically ranges between 7-8L/100km, but real-world fuel efficiency largely depends on driving habits. Factors like frequent city traffic congestion, aggressive AC usage, or carrying full loads (passengers/cargo) that strain the engine can push consumption to 10L – this is fairly common. No need for excessive concern unless such figures persist in a brand-new vehicle. My own vehicle sometimes achieves 7L/100km on highways, but consumption jumps above 10L in urban areas. Maintaining regular servicing and avoiding sudden acceleration/braking helps keep fuel usage within reasonable limits. Fuel consumption isn't determined by a single factor – assessing normality requires evaluating overall driving patterns and environmental conditions.
