What is the actual fuel consumption of the Beidouxing X5?
2 Answers
Comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: 5.3 liters. Here are some fuel-saving tips for the Changhe Suzuki Beidouxing X5: 1. Reduce weight: Increase tire pressure to reduce the contact area between the tires and the road surface, thereby decreasing driving friction and ultimately saving fuel. Remove unused items from the car to lighten the vehicle, as extra weight increases the car's load and consequently fuel consumption. 2. Gentle throttle: Avoid pressing the throttle too hard in low gears. Since the transmission ratio is fixed, using excessive throttle to increase engine RPM for slight acceleration equates to high power at low speed, which wastes fuel. The correct method is to apply just enough throttle to overcome uphill resistance.
I've been driving my Beidou Star X5 for several years, mainly for urban commuting to work. The average fuel consumption is around 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers, and it can drop to about 6 liters on highways, which is quite fuel-efficient overall. It largely depends on driving habits—if you drive steadily, avoid sudden braking and acceleration, you can significantly reduce fuel consumption. I keep records every time I refuel and noticed that fuel consumption increases slightly in winter and summer when using air conditioning, roughly by 0.5 liters. Regular maintenance is key, such as changing the engine oil and cleaning the fuel injectors, and keeping tire pressure at 2.5 bar for optimal fuel efficiency. A daily tip is to choose smoother routes and avoid overloading the car, which can save a considerable amount on fuel costs over a year.
