What is the actual fuel consumption of the Equinox?
1 Answers
The Equinox currently has 6 models on sale, which are divided into the Equinox 2022 Light Hybrid 550TRS Four-Wheel Drive Smart Guard Edition, Equinox 2022 Light Hybrid 550TRS Four-Wheel Drive Smart Pioneer Edition, and Equinox 2022 Light Hybrid 550TRS Smart Pioneer Edition, all equipped with a 2.0T 237 horsepower L4 engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 9.2L per 100km. The Equinox 2022 535T Lead Edition, Equinox 2022 535T Chase Edition, and Equinox 2022 535T Drive Edition are equipped with a 1.5T 169 horsepower L4 engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.8L per 100km. Different models have different fuel tank capacities, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with the 2.0T 237 horsepower L4 engine have a fuel tank capacity of 59L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 59/9.2*100=641km. Models equipped with the 1.5T 169 horsepower L4 engine have a fuel tank capacity of 56L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 56/6.8*100=823km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors, namely 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: Rough driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle in advance when approaching a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements generally mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater self-weight consume more fuel because greater self-weight requires larger driving torque. Road conditions: Dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, mountain roads, etc., where driving resistance is high, can increase fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures mean the engine block temperature is low, and the gasoline injected during cold starts is not easily atomized, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. At the same time, low temperatures cause the engine computer to control the car to warm up at higher RPMs, which also increases fuel consumption.
