Is the Lavida's Fuel Consumption High?
1 Answers
The Lavida's combined fuel consumption is 5.5-5.7L/100km. There are currently 10 models of the Lavida on sale. The DSG Comfort Edition, Automatic Vision Edition, Automatic Trend Edition, DSG Luxury Edition, and Automatic Comfort Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 5.5L/100km. The Manual Comfort Edition, Manual Trend Edition, Automatic Trend Edition (China VI), and Automatic Comfort Edition (China VI) have a combined fuel consumption of 5.6L/100km. The Manual Trend Edition (China VI) has a combined fuel consumption of 5.7L/100km. The above figures are NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than these values, ranging from 5.38-10.55L/100km. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Clean engine carbon deposits: Excessive carbon deposits in the engine are a significant cause, mainly due to using inappropriate fuel. It is recommended to add a certain amount of cleaner when refueling. If the effect is not noticeable, it indicates a large amount of carbon deposits in the engine. In such cases, the car must be taken to a 4S shop for professional technicians to clean the carbon deposits inside the engine. Check the oxygen sensor: As an internal control unit of the car, the oxygen sensor primarily monitors the air-fuel ratio of the engine. Once it is damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the engine's air-fuel ratio, leading to a sudden increase in fuel consumption. When the oxygen sensor is damaged, the exhaust pipe will emit darker-colored exhaust gases during driving, and the oxygen sensor should be replaced at this time. Regularly replace the three filters: During the use of the vehicle, the oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter must be replaced regularly. If they are not replaced for a long time, they become dirty and send incorrect information to the engine control unit, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion and increased engine carbon deposits. Check the electronic control unit: Although the engine's electronic control unit is highly reliable, in older vehicles, various faults are inevitable.
