Is the Fuel Consumption of the Xingyue L High?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Xingyue L is 6.8-7.8L/100km. There are currently 7 models of the Xingyue L on sale. The two-wheel-drive luxury model, two-wheel-drive flagship model, two-wheel-drive premium model, four-wheel-drive flagship model, and four-wheel-drive premium model have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.8L/100km. The two-wheel-drive intelligent premium model and two-wheel-drive comfort model have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.8L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 8.0-10.4L/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 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, as larger displacements usually mean greater 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 temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to burn, which increases 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 Xingyue L for almost a year and feel that the fuel consumption isn't too high. For urban commuting, it averages between 8.5 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, and on the highway, it can drop to around 7 liters. The car is equipped with a 1.5T engine paired with a dual-clutch transmission, providing smooth starts and cruising without being too fuel-intensive. The main factors affecting fuel consumption are city traffic jams or aggressive driving habits, such as during rush hours when it can easily spike to 10 liters. It's recommended to regularly check tire pressure, keeping it around 2.4, and replace the air filter every six months to avoid additional fuel loss. Compared to other SUVs in the same class, like the Haval H6 or the Changan CS75, the Xingyue L's fuel consumption is on the lower side of average, making it very economical for family use.
