What is the actual fuel consumption of the Borui?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Borui is 7.3L/100km. Currently, there are three models of the Borui on sale: the Pilot Edition, Pilot Edition+, and National Style Edition, all with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.3L/100km. The above figures are NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 7.2-10.6L/100km. Here are five tips to help reduce fuel consumption while driving: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid suddenly flooring the accelerator, as this can multiply fuel consumption. Light acceleration, light braking, and early braking: While driving, gently press the accelerator to avoid sudden increases in engine RPM and prevent the car from shaking during operation, thereby improving fuel efficiency. By anticipating road conditions and adopting slow, even acceleration or braking, fuel economy can be improved by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep tire pressure at the level recommended by the manufacturer. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (equivalent to approximately 0.2 in metric units, relative to the standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular maintenance or vehicle checks: Timely oil changes can reduce carbon buildup (which can cause ignition issues, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, even cylinder misfires). Regularly check and replace the air filter when dirty, and clean or replace the fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle body at the recommended intervals. Close the windows while driving. Driving with windows open increases wind resistance, which in turn increases the resistance the car faces, requiring more power and thus increasing fuel consumption.
I previously drove a Borui 1.8T for over two years, and the city fuel consumption of this car is indeed quite high. When running the AC in summer traffic jams, the dashboard often showed 11-12 liters, and once during rush hour it even spiked to 14 liters. However, its highway performance was decent, with cruise control at 100 km/h consuming around 7.5 liters. I recommend not putting too much faith in the official data—actual consumption depends on road conditions and driving habits. For example, my neighbor drives aggressively, always flooring it at traffic lights, and his fuel consumption is over 1 liter higher than mine. The new model now includes a 48V mild hybrid system, and according to car owner groups, city consumption can drop to around 9 liters, though there's not much difference on the highway.
