What is the actual fuel consumption of the 2021 Hyundai ix35?
2 Answers
2021 Hyundai ix35 has a combined fuel consumption of 6.1-6.3L/100km. There are currently 4 models of the 2021 Hyundai ix35 on sale. The 2.0L automatic two-wheel drive GLS Leading Edition and the 2.0L automatic two-wheel drive GL Comfort Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 6.3L/100km. The 240TGDi DCT two-wheel drive GLS Leading Edition and the 240TGDi DCT two-wheel drive TOP Flagship Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 6.1L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 6.5-7.8L/100km. 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 engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher 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 temperatures cause the engine block to be cold, making it harder for the injected gasoline to vaporize during a cold start, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, low temperatures prompt the engine computer to control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving a 2021 Hyundai ix35 for over a year, with fuel consumption mainly fluctuating between 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers. In congested urban areas, it may rise to 10 liters, while steady highway driving can reduce it to around 7 liters. Daily commuting in traffic results in higher fuel consumption, whereas weekend trips on highways are much more fuel-efficient. Many factors influence this: my driving habit of smooth acceleration and less braking helps lower fuel consumption slightly; running the air conditioning at full blast in summer adds nearly 1 liter; insufficient tire pressure or carrying heavy loads also increases consumption. Regular maintenance like oil changes and air filter cleaning is recommended to maintain engine efficiency. Actual fuel consumption varies by driver—my average is 8.5 liters, which is quite acceptable given the SUV's size, offering good overall economy.
