Is the actual fuel consumption of MG ZS 1.5 high?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the MG ZS 1.5 is around 7L/100km, which is not considered high and is within an acceptable range. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Driving habits of the driver, road conditions, the weight of items placed in the car, whether the air conditioning is on, and whether the vehicle is in the break-in period, among other factors, can all affect the vehicle's fuel consumption. Ways to reduce fuel consumption: Avoid prolonged idling or low-speed driving; avoid overloading the vehicle and keeping the fuel tank full; avoid using high-viscosity engine oil; try to control speed with the accelerator rather than the brake.
I've been driving the MG ZS 1.5 for almost a year now. For city commuting, the average fuel consumption is around 9 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers, and it can go up to 11 liters when using air conditioning in summer. On highways, it drops to just over 7 liters. It really depends on how you drive—frequent traffic jams or sudden acceleration can make the fuel gauge drop noticeably. The car isn't exactly lightweight, and with passengers or cargo, fuel consumption tends to be on the higher side. I usually pay attention to maintaining proper tire pressure and changing the engine oil regularly, which helps stabilize fuel efficiency. If you're on a tight budget, I'd recommend opting for a smaller engine or a hybrid model. While the MG ZS is generally hassle-free, it's not an ultra-low-consumption standout—it falls within the conventional range for practical SUVs.
