What is the actual fuel consumption of the Baojun 530 manual transmission?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the Baojun 530 manual transmission is 6.8L. Here are some related introductions about fuel consumption: 1. Habits and road conditions: Fuel consumption is greatly related to driving habits and road conditions. Do not step on the accelerator heavily; gradual acceleration when starting is the most fuel-efficient. To save fuel, avoid pressing the accelerator heavily when starting, as heavy acceleration can increase fuel consumption by 2 to 3 times compared to normal speed starts. 2. Braking: Maintaining a safe distance and avoiding frequent braking can save even more fuel. If you do not maintain a safe distance, you may need to brake frequently on the road. When braking, the gear of an automatic transmission vehicle will drop, and the vehicle will have to pull up from a low gear again. Starting from a standstill or in a low gear requires the engine to consume more fuel.
I've been driving the Baojun 530 manual transmission for almost three years now, and from daily use, the real fuel consumption is quite reasonable. In city driving with stop-and-go traffic, especially during rush hour congestion, it's around 8 liters per 100 kilometers; on the highway with steady driving, it can drop to just over 6 liters. On average, it's between 7 to 7.5 liters combined. There are quite a few factors affecting fuel consumption. For example, when I first started, I had the habit of slamming the accelerator and braking hard, which pushed the fuel consumption up to 9 liters. Later, I learned to drive more smoothly, paying attention not to overspeed, and regularly checking tire pressure (keeping it near the standard value), which significantly lowered the fuel consumption. Using the air conditioning in summer also consumes a bit more fuel, but overall, it's much more fuel-efficient compared to some cars in the same class, making it economical and reassuring to drive. The key also lies in how you maintain the car—changing the engine oil and air filter on time can keep the engine running efficiently.
