What is the actual fuel consumption of the Besturn X80 2.0 model?
3 Answers
Besturn X80 2.0 model has an actual fuel consumption of 8.3 liters per 100 kilometers. Here are some fuel-saving tips: 1. Lightly press the accelerator: The initial low-speed acceleration period is the peak fuel consumption phase, so gently pressing the accelerator during startup and preventing excessively high RPM can effectively reduce fuel consumption. 2. Avoid high RPM: Try to avoid unnecessary high RPM as fluctuating engine speeds significantly increase fuel consumption. 3. Regular maintenance: Change engine oil and remove carbon deposits. 4. Avoid emergency braking: Anticipating road conditions in advance not only improves driving safety but also saves fuel, such as gradually decelerating before traffic lights and utilizing inertial coasting.
I've been driving the Besturn X80 for two years, the 2.0L model, and the real fuel consumption depends on driving habits and road conditions. In city traffic with congestion, it can reach 10 liters per 100 kilometers, while on the highway it can drop to around 8 liters, averaging about 9.2 liters per 100 kilometers. I think starting slowly and avoiding sudden braking can save some fuel. Additionally, the weight of the car and using the air conditioning also affect it; in summer, it often runs at 9.5 liters. A friend who drives the same car gets just over 8 liters on the highway more often. Overall, the cost-performance ratio is decent, but compared to new hybrids, the fuel consumption is slightly higher. I recommend avoiding hard acceleration to reduce waste and save on fuel costs.
As a car enthusiast, I've studied many owner reports on the real fuel consumption of the Besturn X80 2.0 with the old Mazda engine. On average, it's about 9 liters per 100 km, up to 10 liters in heavy traffic and around 8 liters on highways. Driving style plays a big role – aggressive driving can push it up to 11 liters. The car has moderate weight but slightly higher aerodynamic drag, making it fuel-efficient at highway cruising speeds. During my test drive at 80 km/h, the consumption was 8 liters, but it's higher in stop-and-go city traffic. Maintenance is also crucial; for example, a dirty air filter can increase consumption by 0.5 liters. Compared to other SUVs in its class, it's not the most fuel-efficient, but the engine is reliable and maintenance is affordable.
