Is the fuel consumption of the Lynk & Co 06 high?
2 Answers
The combined fuel consumption of the Lynk & Co 06 is 6.6L/100km. Currently, there are 4 models of the Lynk & Co 06 on sale: the Shero Pink Special Edition, Type Plus, Jin Pro, and Yao Halo, all with a combined fuel consumption of 6.6L/100km. The above figures are based on the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the data measured under the NEDC test procedure for combined driving conditions. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 7.5-10.4L/100km. The level of a car's fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Lynk & Co 06 for over half a year now, and as an urban commuter, I find its fuel consumption quite reasonable. During rush hour traffic jams in the city center, it averages around 7.5 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers, but drops below 6 liters on highways or suburban roads during weekends. This is significantly more fuel-efficient than my previous old SUV. The 1.5T three-cylinder engine in the Lynk & Co 06 is smartly tuned, with auto start-stop shutting off the engine at red lights to save fuel, and the eco mode further optimizing combustion efficiency. The key factor is driving habits: I avoid sudden acceleration and aggressive lane-changing in traffic, use cruise control frequently, and maintain stable fuel consumption. Overall, it's not high, but if you often floor the accelerator or drive on steep mountain roads, it might climb to 9 liters. The Lynk & Co 06 has moderate weight and low drag coefficient, making it quite economical for daily use.
