What is the actual fuel consumption of the Boyue 1.8T?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Boyue 1.8T is 7.7L/100km. Currently, there are 8 models of the Boyue 1.8T available for sale: the Smart Connect Edition, Smart Wisdom Edition, Smart Premium Edition, Smart Leader Edition, Manual Two-Wheel Drive Asian Games Edition, Two-Wheel Drive Comfort Edition, Two-Wheel Drive Asian Games Comfort Edition, and Two-Wheel Drive Asian Games Edition. The comprehensive fuel consumption for all these models is 7.7L/100km. The above figures are the 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 8.3-10.0L/100km. 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 displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight 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 temperature: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer controls the use of higher RPMs to warm up the car, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Boyue 1.8T for two years, and the real fuel consumption really depends on where you drive. In the city, during rush hour traffic, it easily reaches 10-12 liters per 100 kilometers, and it's even more fuel-consuming with the air conditioning on in summer. But on the highway, it drops significantly, maintaining a speed of around 100 km/h can bring it down to 7-8 liters. The official data claims a little over 8 liters, but that's measured in ideal lab conditions. In real driving, with uphill climbs and frequent stops and starts, it's definitely a bit higher. I think driving habits are crucial; for example, avoiding sudden acceleration and frequent braking can save about a liter. Low tire pressure also increases fuel consumption, so regular checks to keep it at the standard value are good. The Boyue does have strong power, but its fuel consumption is slightly higher than some Japanese cars in the same class. For daily commuting, most owners report an average of 9-11 liters. For precise measurement, I recommend resetting the odometer after refueling and running 100 kilometers to calculate, which is closer to real-life conditions.
