Real Fuel Consumption of Lynk & Co 02 Owners?
2 Answers
Lynk & Co 02 fuel consumption: 1.5T model is 5.8-6.4L, 2.0T model is 6.7-6.8L. Here are specific methods to reduce fuel consumption: Lightly press the accelerator: When starting at low speed, the car is in the peak fuel consumption zone, so lightly pressing the accelerator when starting can prevent excessively high RPM and effectively reduce fuel consumption. Avoid high RPM: Try to avoid unnecessary high RPM as fluctuating engine speeds can significantly increase fuel consumption. Regular maintenance: Change engine oil and remove carbon deposits. Avoid emergency braking: Anticipating road conditions in advance not only improves driving safety but also saves fuel, such as gradually slowing down before traffic lights and utilizing inertia to coast.
I've been driving the Lynk & Co 02 for almost a year, mainly for urban commuting and weekend getaways. The fuel consumption in pure city traffic is the most headache-inducing, averaging around 11 liters. Watching the fuel gauge drop at red lights makes my heart race. On expressways, it drops to 8 liters. I once tried driving on the ring road late at night without air conditioning and managed to get it down to 7.6 liters. The official rating of 7.4 liters is too idealistic; in reality, it's at least 1.5 liters more. I recommend turning off the auto start-stop in traffic to save fuel; based on my comparison, it can save 0.8 liters. A full tank of 95-octane gas lasts about 420 kilometers in the city before the low fuel light comes on, which works out to a bit over 0.8 yuan per kilometer—acceptable but not surprising. If you drive a Lynk & Co, don't stress too much about fuel consumption; the safety features are worth the extra cost compared to Japanese cars.
