What is the actual fuel consumption of the Boyue 1.8T?
2 Answers
The highway fuel consumption of the Boyue 1.8T ranges between 7.5-8.5L/100KM, while the urban fuel consumption is as high as 12-15L/100KM. The combined fuel consumption is between 11-13L/100KM, which is slightly higher compared to compact SUVs. Below is additional information on fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator of a car when driving at a constant speed on good road conditions. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for cars on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. 2. France and Germany use the constant-speed fuel consumption at 90Km/h and 120Km/h as the main evaluation indicators for fuel economy. China also adopts this indicator. 3. Since cars often experience various working conditions such as acceleration, deceleration, braking, and engine idling during actual driving, the constant-speed fuel consumption is often lower and significantly different from the actual fuel consumption.
After driving a Geely Boyue 1.8T for a year, I find the real fuel consumption quite interesting. My daily commute is mostly in the city, averaging around 11 liters per 100 kilometers; on the highway, it can drop to about 8.5 liters. This is highly related to driving habits—I usually prefer quicker starts, which increases fuel consumption, while my friend drives more steadily and can save up to 10 liters. Of course, road conditions also play a role; during traffic jams, it can spike to 13 liters, which isn’t surprising. Using the air conditioning adds to the fuel consumption, increasing it by about one liter in the summer. Regular maintenance is crucial—I change the engine oil and filters every six months, which helps keep the fuel consumption stable. Overall, as a family SUV, it offers spacious comfort, but it’s not particularly fuel-efficient, so planning trips wisely is key to saving money.
