2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the 1.5L Santana is 5.60L/100KM. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 112ps, a maximum power of 82kw, and a maximum torque of 145nm. The fuel consumption of the vehicle mainly depends on the driving habits of the driver and the vehicle itself. The following are the main factors affecting fuel consumption: Driving habits: Generally, fuel consumption is mainly determined by the user's driving habits. Avoid prolonged idling, as idling consumes a lot of fuel. When waiting at traffic lights, you can turn off the engine and pull up the handbrake, or use the auto start-stop function. On highways, try to maintain a constant speed, preferably between 60-90km/h, with the engine speed maintained at 2500-4000rpm. Regular vehicle inspection and maintenance are recommended, and cleaning or replacing the three filters (air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter) can improve fuel economy. Vehicle factors: Factors such as vehicle weight, tires, wind resistance, and load can also affect fuel consumption. Therefore, to achieve better fuel economy, avoid high engine speeds. Additionally, you can release the throttle to let the vehicle coast downhill, and switching to low rolling resistance tires can also help save fuel to some extent.
After driving the 1.5 Santana for a while, I find the fuel consumption quite reasonable. In the city, it usually ranges between 6 to 7 liters per 100 kilometers, and on the highway, it can drop to around 5.5 liters, mainly depending on driving habits. If you step on the accelerator aggressively, the fuel consumption shoots up, but gentle driving can save some fuel. Maintaining the car well also helps reduce fuel consumption. For example, I usually pay attention to tire pressure and regular oil changes, making it more economical to drive. Additionally, this model offers ample space, suitable for both commuting and traveling, so even when fuel prices rise, I don't panic. On average, my monthly fuel cost is around 500 yuan.
