What is the actual fuel consumption of the 10th-generation Accord 1.5T?
2 Answers
The 10th-generation Accord 1.5T has five models currently on sale. Among them, the 2022 260TURBO Comfort Edition, Luxury Edition, and Standard Edition are equipped with a 194-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6L per 100km. The 2022 260TURBO Phantom Night Premium Edition and Flagship Edition are also equipped with a 194-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.5L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of the 10th-generation Accord 1.5T is 56L. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For the 2022 260TURBO Comfort Edition, Luxury Edition, and Standard Edition, the distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is 56/6*100=933km. For the 2022 260TURBO Phantom Night Premium Edition and Flagship Edition, the distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is 56/6.5*100=861km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving my 10th-gen Accord 1.5T for almost a year now. In congested city traffic, the fuel consumption can spike to 8-9 liters per 100 km, but it drops to around 5-6 liters on the highway. For daily commuting, the average hovers around 7 liters, with slightly better efficiency on weekend suburban trips. To save fuel, I try to avoid sudden acceleration and maintain steady speeds. Using the AC noticeably increases consumption—about 1 liter more in summer. Regularly checking tire pressure helps too; keeping it around 2.5 bar reduces rolling resistance, which saves money long-term. Overall, it's an economical car with stable fuel efficiency, making it ideal for city life.
