What is the actual fuel consumption of the Ford Edge 2.0t?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Ford Edge 2.0t is 7.3-7.6L/100km. Currently, there are 6 models of the Ford Edge 2.0t available for sale: the two-wheel drive Enjoy model, the two-wheel drive Smart Enjoy model, and the two-wheel drive Shine model, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.3L/100km. The four-wheel drive Premium model, the four-wheel drive Shine model, and the four-wheel drive Enjoy model have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.6L/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 8.2-11.5L/100km. When driving, the following 5 tips can help reduce fuel consumption: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid suddenly pressing the accelerator hard, as this will multiply fuel consumption. Light acceleration, light braking, and early braking: When driving, gently press the accelerator to avoid sudden increases in engine speed and prevent the car from shaking during driving, thus making the car more fuel-efficient. By anticipating road conditions and adopting slow and uniform acceleration or braking, fuel economy can be increased by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep the tire pressure at the level recommended by the manufacturer. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (equivalent to about 0.2 in the metric system relative to the standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular maintenance or inspection of the vehicle: Regular oil changes can reduce carbon buildup (carbon buildup can cause poor ignition, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, even cylinder misfires). Regularly check and replace the air filter if it is dirty, and clean or replace the fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle body as per the recommended mileage. Close the windows while driving. Driving with the windows open increases wind resistance, and the greater the wind resistance, the more resistance the car encounters, requiring more power and thus increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Ford Edge 2.0T for two years, mainly for urban commuting. When encountering heavy traffic, the fuel consumption can soar to around 13 liters, while under normal conditions it's between 10 to 11 liters. On highways, it becomes more fuel-efficient, with cruise control keeping it around 9 liters, making long-distance drives particularly effortless. Fuel consumption is significantly affected by driving habits; for instance, aggressive driving increases fuel usage, but after developing smooth driving habits, I can usually keep it under 10 liters. Running the air conditioning at full blast also increases fuel consumption, especially noticeable in summer. Load is another factor; family trips with the car fully loaded with luggage can push fuel consumption up to 12 liters. Regular maintenance is recommended, as underinflated tires and uncleaned carbon deposits can easily lead to higher fuel consumption. The car offers good comfort for daily use, and its fuel consumption is average among similar vehicles, not excessively high.
