The actual fuel consumption of the 10th-generation Accord 260 is 6.3L/100km. Below are the specific details of the 10th-generation Accord 260: 1. The body lines are smooth and elegant, with the overall design blending fashion and dynamism. 2. It features an LED high-mounted brake light commonly used in luxury models and elegant triangular combination taillights. 3. The newly designed rear styling is more harmonious with the front design, making the overall vehicle image more prominent. 4. It is equipped with a 1.5T direct-injection VTEC turbocharged engine, with a maximum power (kW/rpm) of 143/5500.
I've been driving my 10th-generation Accord 260 for over two years, mainly commuting in congested city traffic. The actual fuel consumption ranges between 8-10 liters per 100 kilometers, significantly higher than the official claim of 6-7 liters. In summer, with the air conditioning on, it can go up to 11 liters, and in winter, it stays around 9 liters. Driving habits have a big impact—if I accelerate aggressively or brake frequently, the fuel consumption spikes. For maintenance, I use high-performance engine oil to keep the engine running smoothly, but city commuting doesn't allow for much fuel savings. I recommend beginners start with a fuel-efficient mode and use economical driving techniques, like gentle acceleration. The car is quite reliable, but fuel costs average over 500 yuan per month. On highways, it can drop below 7 liters, but during rush hour, there's no avoiding the higher consumption.
From a technical perspective, the 10th-generation Accord 260 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and CVT transmission, designed with relatively low fuel consumption. The official rating is 6-7 liters, but actual usage fluctuates between 7-9 liters. The biggest influencing factor is road conditions—for example, low-speed city driving reduces engine efficiency and increases fuel consumption. Low tire pressure and a dirty air filter can also drive up fuel usage. I make it a point to inspect the fuel system every 5,000 kilometers during maintenance. The engine start-stop function helps a bit in traffic jams, but its effect is limited. New owners shouldn’t blindly trust the data; tracking daily mileage to calculate actual fuel consumption is more reliable. It’s quite satisfying to maintain around 6 liters during highway driving.
