Real fuel consumption of the 2020 Roewe i5?

[DeAngela]

2020 Roewe i5 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a combined fuel consumption of 5.5L per 100km. The fuel consumption in urban areas will be higher, basically around 7L per 100km. The following are some relevant extended information: 1. Roewe i5: The Roewe i5 was launched on October 26, 2018, and is a high-energy internet compact car under the Roewe brand. 2. Interior design: The new Roewe i5 is equipped with black and yellow wrap-around sports seats. The seat cushions and backrests adopt a reverse-curved surface design that is more in line with ergonomics, further enhancing riding comfort; the seat foam adopts a dual-hardness structure with harder side supports and softer seat cushions and backrests, strengthening the seat's wrapping performance.

In actual driving of the 2020 Roewe i5, the real-world fuel consumption is around 8 liters per 100 kilometers in urban areas, depending on driving habits. The car is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and has moderate weight, but its wind resistance handling on highways is decent, allowing consumption to drop to 6.5L. I've observed that using air conditioning or carrying more passengers increases fuel consumption by 0.5 to 1 liter, while insufficient tire pressure also affects efficiency. Regular maintenance is recommended—using high-quality engine oil and replacing the air filter can optimize consumption to 7.5L. Avoiding sudden acceleration at urban traffic lights and driving smoothly can save up to 10% fuel. Long-term usage shows stable fuel consumption—it’s not the most fuel-efficient, but it’s economical enough.

I've been driving the Roewe i5 for almost two years now. During rush hour traffic jams, the fuel consumption always exceeds 9 liters per 100km, while maintaining steady highway cruising can bring it down to 6.5 liters. Using air conditioning in summer is the most fuel-intensive, pushing consumption up to 10 liters. Monthly fuel expenses average around 500 yuan, which feels like a moderate burden. After switching to low rolling resistance tires, I've saved some fuel, and keeping warm-up time under two minutes in winter helps maintain good fuel efficiency. Road conditions make a big difference - suburban driving shows lower fuel pressure while city driving with inclines consumes more. Overall, real-world fuel consumption varies by driver. From my friend group's data, the average ranges between 7.5 to 8 liters. I recommend beginners use GPS to track daily routes and optimize driving habits to save money.

According to official data, the fuel consumption is 6.6 liters per 100 kilometers, but the actual fuel consumption of the 2020 Roewe i5 is often around 7.5 liters. I have driven cars in the same class, such as the Geely Emgrand, which also consumes over 7 liters in reality, while the Volkswagen Polo is more fuel-efficient but more expensive. Turning on the air conditioning adds about 1 liter, and on highways, it can be controlled to around 6 liters. Frequent stops at city traffic lights increase fuel consumption, and frequent starts and stops consume more fuel. The impact is more noticeable in hot weather. Overall, it is normal for the actual value to be higher than the test value, and it is acceptable for daily use.

From a cost perspective, the Roewe i5 has an urban fuel consumption of around 8 liters per 100 km. At 7.5 yuan per liter, this amounts to 60 yuan per 100 km. My monthly expenditure for 1,000 km is 600 yuan, which is higher than expected. Fuel-saving tips: avoiding sudden braking and gently pressing the accelerator can reduce consumption to 7 liters. Opening windows at low speeds saves on air conditioning, but at high speeds, increased wind resistance consumes more fuel. Maintaining standard tire pressure can save up to 10% on fuel. It is practical for family use, with unremarkable fuel consumption but low maintenance costs. Including insurance and maintenance in the budget makes it relatively economical.

I care about fuel consumption not just to save money, but also for environmental protection. The Roewe i5 has a real urban fuel consumption of 8 liters, which means significant carbon emissions, while it's slightly better at 6 liters on highways. Using air conditioning increases fuel consumption, so it's recommended to lightly open windows at low speeds as an alternative. Regular maintenance such as replacing spark plugs and cleaning filters can improve combustion efficiency and reduce fuel consumption to 7 liters. Driving habits are crucial: avoid sudden acceleration and frequent start-stop. Fuel consumption is worst in hot weather, while in winter, controlling warm-up time is key. Long-term optimization can save 1 liter per 100 kilometers, reducing annual carbon emissions by several hundred kilograms, which benefits the environment.
