Is the fuel consumption of the Geely Binrui 1.4T Asian Games Edition high?

[MacGrace]

Geely Binrui 1.4T Asian Games Edition has a fuel consumption of around 7.4L/100KM. Factors affecting fuel consumption: The driver's habits, road conditions, 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. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Avoid sudden acceleration and deceleration while driving; make the most of the car's inertia and reduce unnecessary braking; use cruise control correctly; use the air conditioning cooling system rationally; reduce the vehicle's weight by removing unnecessary items and cleaning mud from the chassis in a timely manner.

After driving the Binrui Asian Games Edition 1.4T for half a year, the displayed fuel consumption has consistently hovered around 8.2 liters. It can spike to over 9 liters when driving mostly in the city. The car has quick power response, making it hard to resist pressing the accelerator harder at traffic lights, and I don’t use the auto start-stop function much in traffic jams, so the fuel consumption isn’t exactly a pleasant surprise. Once, I deliberately drove more conservatively, using cruise control at 80 km/h on provincial roads, and managed to bring it down to 6.5 liters, proving that a lighter foot can save a lot. Compared to Japanese cars of the same displacement, it’s definitely on the higher side, but you get a more spirited acceleration experience. With a monthly commute of 1,500 km, I spend about 150 yuan more on fuel than my colleague’s Sylphy. It all comes down to whether you think the extra power is worth it.

When I first got the car, I was particularly concerned about fuel consumption and used a mini-program to track it: the average was 9.3 liters during the first month's break-in period, stabilizing around 8 liters after the first maintenance. The most fuel-intensive scenario was being stuck in traffic on expressways with the AC on during summer, where the instantaneous fuel consumption displayed could spike to 14 liters. Highway driving was especially economical, with cruise control set at 110 km/h consuming only 6.9 liters. The most surprising was during the Qingming Festival when driving through mountainous areas, where downhill sections showed as low as 4.8 liters. Now, after driving 20,000 km, I've pretty much figured out its quirks. This car isn't suitable for impatient drivers—turbo lag is noticeable, and flooring the accelerator actually wastes more fuel. To save fuel, anticipate road conditions and make more use of inertia coasting. The fuel consumption isn't outstanding but acceptable, considering it's a 100,000-yuan sedan with a 1.4T engine—most in this category perform similarly.
