What is the actual fuel consumption of the 7th generation Accord 2.0?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the 7th generation Accord 2.0 is 4.2-4.4L/100km. There are currently 4 models of the 7th generation Accord 2.0 on sale. The Rui Cool Edition and Rui Ling Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.2L/100km. The Phantom Night Rui Zhi Edition and Phantom Night Rui Zun Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.4L/100km. The above figures are NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which are the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, around 7.6L. The specific factors affecting car fuel consumption are as follows: Car weight: Larger and heavier cars tend to consume more fuel. Generally, a small family car with a 1.6L displacement and a weight of about 1.2 tons has a fuel consumption of approximately 7.5 liters (calculated under full load conditions), while an SUV weighing about 1.5 tons has a fuel consumption of 8.5 liters. Different weights result in different fuel consumption. Drag coefficient: Higher drag coefficients increase fuel consumption during driving. Cars with better aerodynamics have lower drag coefficients, resulting in lower fuel consumption. Economical RPM: During driving, the engine has a most economical torque output point. Maintaining the car's speed within this torque output point significantly reduces fuel consumption. Generally, small-displacement cars reach this point at about 70 km/h, while large-displacement cars reach it at about 100 km/h. Keeping the speed within this economical RPM range ensures minimal fuel consumption. Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at traffic lights will increase fuel consumption.
I previously owned a seventh-generation Accord 2.0. As a long-time owner, the actual fuel consumption was around 9 to 11 liters per 100 kilometers in city traffic with congestion, while it dropped to about 7 liters on the highway. Overall, the average consumption was between 8 and 9 liters. The car's engine was well-designed, but after more than a decade of use, tire wear or a dirty air filter could increase fuel consumption. I personally prefer driving gently, avoiding sudden acceleration and braking, and adding a fuel saver didn’t make much difference—proper maintenance is key. For example, checking spark plugs and tire pressure every six months can save about 5% on fuel. Overall, this car’s fuel consumption is slightly higher than the Camry in the same class, but its strong reliability makes it suitable for daily commuting, and the lower maintenance costs make it more economical.
