What is the actual fuel consumption of the BYD Qin hybrid without charging?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the BYD Qin hybrid without charging is around 7L. Additional information: Methods to reduce fuel consumption are as follows: Regular maintenance: Regular maintenance can reduce the car's failure rate and also lower fuel consumption. Maintenance includes periodic replacement of parts such as spark plugs, oil filters, brake fluid, radiator coolant, air filters, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, etc. Keeping the vehicle in optimal condition helps reduce fuel consumption; Avoid heavy acceleration: Heavy acceleration only shortens driving time by 4%, but increases fuel consumption by 37%-40%. On typical urban roads, the speed is usually maintained at 50 km/h, with engine RPM around 2000-2500. On highways, the speed is usually between 90-110 km/h. For every 10 km/h increase in speed, fuel consumption increases by 10%. Avoid heavy acceleration as RPM is the biggest factor affecting fuel consumption; Reduce weight: For every 100KG increase in vehicle weight, fuel consumption increases by 4%~5%;
I've been driving the BYD Qin hybrid for over a year now, running purely on fuel without charging. The actual fuel consumption varies significantly between city and highway driving. During heavy traffic commutes, it can reach around 5.5 to 6 liters per 100 km, while steady highway driving can bring it down to 4.5 liters. This is mainly due to the intelligent design of the hybrid system, where the engine operates only within its most efficient range, and the kinetic energy recovery system helps save fuel. With my relatively good driving habits—such as avoiding sudden acceleration and maintaining a steady speed—my fuel consumption stays consistently just over 5 liters. Compared to my old gasoline car, I'm saving nearly half on fuel costs, easily pocketing over 100 yuan a month. My advice is to charge and use electric drive as much as possible for better savings, but even without charging occasionally, it remains affordable. Just be mindful not to overload the car, as using the air conditioning can slightly increase fuel consumption, and regular engine maintenance helps prolong the fuel-saving benefits.
