Is the Lincoln fuel consumption high?
2 Answers
Lincoln has high fuel consumption. The Lincoln MKZ consumes approximately 12 liters per 100 kilometers. Maintaining a steady speed while driving can effectively reduce fuel consumption. Bumpy roads increase fuel consumption: If the road is congested or uneven, driving in low gear for extended periods will inevitably increase fuel consumption. Heavy trunk increases fuel consumption: Using the trunk as a storage space and stuffing it with unnecessary items increases the car's weight. It's important to note that the relationship between car weight and fuel consumption is directly proportional. For every 10% reduction in car weight, fuel consumption will correspondingly decrease by several percentage points. Incorrect driving habits can increase fuel consumption by 2 to 3 times: Incorrect driving habits have the greatest impact on fuel consumption. During driving, especially in heavy traffic, at red lights, or when changing lanes, sudden acceleration and braking are the most common issues.
To be honest, after driving Lincolns for years, I have to say fuel consumption really depends on the model. Take the Navigator, that full-size SUV is heavy and easily hits 15L/100km in city driving, around 10L on highways – significantly higher than regular sedans. But Lincoln's recent hybrid models like the Aviator Grand Touring can bring consumption below 8L/100km, which is major progress. My older model used to cost me 2,000 yuan monthly in fuel, though the comfort and luxury were unmatched. If you frequently drive long distances or get stuck in urban traffic, fuel costs will absolutely burn a hole in your wallet – I'd suggest checking official specs when choosing and matching them to your driving habits. Gentle acceleration saves a lot. Remember to maintain engine and tires regularly; a dirty air filter increases fuel consumption.
