What is the actual fuel consumption of the 14th-generation Sylphy?
2 Answers
14th-generation Sylphy 1.6L has a Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) fuel consumption as low as 4.9L. 1. Suburban roads: fuel consumption 5.2L/100km. 2. Ordinary urban roads: fuel consumption 5.2L/100km. 3. National Highway 106: displayed fuel consumption 4.3L/100km, this is a combined fuel consumption, in reality on national highways, the fuel consumption can be even lower than 4.3L/100km. After driving on ordinary urban roads and unobstructed national highways, a total distance of 33km, the combined fuel consumption was 4.3L. Additional information: 1. Maintain good driving habits, under good road conditions, if driving the 14th-generation Sylphy, a combined fuel consumption of 4.3L can be achieved. 2. Fuel-saving tips: gentle acceleration, gentle deceleration, early anticipation, and less braking.
I've been driving the 14th-generation Sylphy for almost three years now, using it for daily commutes and weekend trips, and the real-world fuel consumption has been quite surprising. During peak hours in the city with heavy traffic, it consumes the most fuel, reaching up to 7L/100km; avoiding peak times brings it down to around 6L. Using the AC in summer doesn't make much of a difference, but it does consume a bit more fuel in winter. Once on the highway, I specifically tested it—cruising at 100 km/h, it managed an impressive 5.2L, even more fuel-efficient than my friend's Corolla. With a 43L fuel tank, my weekly commute of 300km means one fill-up lasts me more than two weeks. In the city, the combined consumption is around 6.5L, while on the highway, it's just over 5L, slightly higher than the official figures, which is normal. The Sylphy's 1.6L + CVT combo is really well-matched—it might be a bit sluggish at take-off, but there's no denying its fuel efficiency.
