What is the actual fuel consumption of the Corolla Hybrid?
1 Answers
The Corolla Hybrid has three models currently on sale. Among them, the Corolla-2021-Dual Engine-1.8L-E-CVT Elite Edition and Flagship Edition, both equipped with a 98-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 4.1L per 100 km. The Corolla-2021-Dual Engine-1.8L-E-CVT Pioneer Edition, also equipped with a 98-horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 4.0L per 100 km. All Corolla Hybrid models have the same fuel tank capacity. The distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is as follows: For the Corolla-2021-Dual Engine-1.8L-E-CVT Elite Edition and Flagship Edition, both equipped with a 98-horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 43L, and the distance that can be covered on a full tank is 43/4.1*100=1049 km. For the Corolla-2021-Dual Engine-1.8L-E-CVT Pioneer Edition, also equipped with a 98-horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is also 43L, and the distance that can be covered on a full tank is 43/4.0*100=1075 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 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 displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means 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 temperature: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to burn, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine control unit will command higher RPMs to warm up the engine, further increasing fuel consumption.
