I've been driving the Dongfeng Fengshen AX5 for over a year now. As a compact SUV, its fuel consumption isn't particularly high. For daily urban commuting, the average fuel consumption is around 9L/100km. In heavy traffic or when using air conditioning in hot weather, it might rise above 10L. On highways, it's much more economical, averaging about 7.5-8L/100km. I believe driving habits play a significant role – for instance, my habit of gentle acceleration and avoiding sudden braking helps control fuel consumption. Additionally, regular maintenance is crucial; tasks like changing the air filter and checking tire pressure (as underinflated tires increase the load) are important. Overall, the AX5's fuel consumption is at a moderate level among domestic SUVs. While monthly fuel costs are part of my budget, they don't feel burdensome. Compared to some older SUV models, it's relatively fuel-efficient, making it suitable for family or commuting use.

From my driving experience, the fuel consumption of Dongfeng Fengshen AX5 fluctuates between 8-10L/100km, depending largely on your driving habits. If you frequently drive short distances in the city or encounter traffic congestion, the fuel consumption naturally increases. I once tried driving around the city with the air conditioning on, and the fuel consumption surged to 11L. However, it performs well on long highway trips, averaging around 7L. I recommend maintaining a steady driving style, avoiding frequent acceleration and deceleration, and regularly checking the engine and tires, as insufficient tire pressure can increase fuel consumption by about 1L. Older vehicles may also become less fuel-efficient, so timely maintenance is essential. Among vehicles in the same class, it is slightly more fuel-efficient than some American SUVs but not as economical as Japanese cars. Overall, the AX5's fuel consumption is manageable, with the key factors being personal driving skills and road conditions.

I've looked into the data of the AX5. It's equipped with a 1.4T engine, with an official fuel consumption rating of 6-7L/100km, but the actual range is 8-10L. Driving habits have a significant impact; for example, aggressive acceleration or cold starts can increase fuel consumption. Compared to other SUVs like the Haval H6, the AX5 is slightly more fuel-efficient. A clogged air filter can also increase fuel consumption by about 5%, so regular cleaning is important. Fuel quality is equally crucial, as lower-grade fuel may reduce efficiency. Overall, the AX5 isn't the most fuel-efficient car, but its reasonable design makes it acceptable.

Is it difficult to park a 5-meter-long car?

Parking a 5-meter-long car is quite challenging for the following reasons: 1. Domestic parking spaces in China: The width is approximately 2.6-2.8 meters, and the length is about 5.3 meters. Only a very few parking spaces reach 6 meters in length. If the vehicle exceeds 5 meters in length, parking in such spaces becomes extremely difficult. During reverse parking, the front or rear of the car is prone to protrude beyond the parking lines, increasing the risk of scratches. 3. Introduction to standard parking space dimensions: According to the 'Code for Design of Parking Garage Buildings,' the specific dimensions for small car indoor parking spaces are as follows: The minimum size for small car parking spaces using perpendicular parking should be 5.3 meters (length) * 2.4 meters (width), with a minimum passage width of 5.5 meters in front of the parking space. The minimum distance between small cars and the side walls should be 0.6 meters, and the minimum distance to the front and rear walls should be 0.5 meters.

Why does the engine sound fluctuate between loud and quiet?

When the engine is idling after warming up, it's normal for the sound to fluctuate between loud and quiet, as long as the variation isn't too pronounced and the engine doesn't shake. Below is relevant information about car idling: 1. The purpose of car idling: Idling is an operating condition of a car, referring to the engine running in neutral gear. The engine speed during idling is called the idle speed. The idle speed can be adjusted by modifying the throttle opening size, among other methods. Idling means the engine is 'producing power without doing work.' When the engine is running, if the accelerator pedal is completely released, the engine is in an idling state. 2. Causes of unstable idling: Direct causes refer to mechanical parts being dirty, worn, or incorrectly installed, leading to changes in cylinder power output, resulting in an imbalance of power among cylinders and causing unstable idling. Indirect causes refer to abnormalities in the engine's electronic control system, leading to poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture, making it difficult to balance the power output among cylinders and causing unstable idling.

What is the sound like air being released when the car's accelerator is released?

Releasing the accelerator and hearing a sound like air being released is the sound of the pressure relief valve working. The following explains the reasons: 1. Turbocharger working principle: When the turbocharger starts working as the accelerator is pressed, it compresses a large amount of air and pushes it into the engine combustion chamber through the throttle valve. When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, the throttle valve closes. However, the turbocharger's blades do not stop working immediately. At this time, there is still residual compressed air in the intake pipe between the turbocharger and the throttle valve. If this air is not discharged in time, the strong pressure can cause damage to the throttle valve and turbocharger blades. 2. Function of the pressure relief valve: The valve of the pressure relief valve will release the residual compressed air in the pipe in time when it detects that the air pressure in the intake pipe is too high, thereby protecting the throttle valve and turbocharger blades. It also reduces the occurrence of turbo lag, making the engine work more smoothly. The sound of air being released that you hear is the 'noise' produced when the pressure relief valve discharges the compressed air.
