What is the actual fuel consumption of the BMW 740?
1 Answers
The BMW 740 has six models currently on sale. Among them, the 2021 740Li Executive Luxury Package, Leading M Sport Package, and Leading Luxury Package, all equipped with a 340-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.5L per 100 km. The 2021 740Li xDrive Executive M Sport Package, Luxury Package, and the modified 740Li xDrive Brilliance Custom Limited Edition, also equipped with a 340-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.9L per 100 km. The fuel tank capacity of different BMW 740 models is the same. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 340-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.5L per 100 km, the fuel tank capacity is 78L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 78/7.5*100=1040 km. For models equipped with a 340-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.9L per 100 km, the fuel tank capacity is 78L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 78/7.9*100=987 km. 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: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer controls higher RPMs to warm up the car, which also increases fuel consumption.
