Is the fuel consumption of the Hongqi HS5 affordable for ordinary families?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Hongqi HS5 is 7.9L/100km. Such fuel consumption performance is completely affordable for ordinary families. Below are the specific details of the Hongqi HS5: Positioning model: The Hongqi HS5 is a sedan. The wheelbase of the Hongqi HS5 is 2875 mm, with length, width, and height being 4945 mm, 1845 mm, and 1470 mm respectively. Powertrain: This car is equipped with a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine across all variants, with the engine code CA4GC18TD-11. The 1.8-liter turbocharged engine delivers 180 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum cylinder head and cast iron cylinder block. The engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission from Aisin.
We've been driving the Hongqi HS5 for over a year now. The fuel consumption averages 9-10 liters per 100 kilometers in the city and drops to 7-8 liters on the highway. To be honest, it's not very fuel-efficient. Taking my family as an example, we drive about 1,200 kilometers per month. With gasoline priced at 7 yuan per liter, our monthly fuel cost is nearly 800 yuan. Our family's monthly income is just over 10,000 yuan, so fuel expenses account for about 8% of our income. It's barely acceptable, but we have to budget carefully. For families with an income below 8,000 yuan, this level of fuel consumption might be more stressful, especially with the current volatility in oil prices. I'd recommend families with less commuting to consider this carefully. We chose this car for its spaciousness and safety, but the high fuel consumption is a downside. So, it's important to do the math before buying to avoid overspending. Driving steadily and avoiding traffic congestion can also help save some fuel costs.
