What is the actual fuel consumption of the GAC Trumpchi GS4?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the GAC Trumpchi GS4 is approximately 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers. Here is some information about vehicle fuel consumption: 1. Constant-speed fuel consumption: This refers to the fuel economy indicator when the car is traveling at a constant speed on a good road surface. 2. Road cycle fuel consumption: This is the fuel economy indicator measured when the car is driven in repeated cycles according to specified speeds and time norms on the road, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption. Here is some information about the GAC Trumpchi GS4: 1. Configuration: Features such as an automatic handbrake, hill-start assist, and one-key start. 2. Powertrain: Equipped with two engines, a 1.3T (200T model) and a 1.5T (235T model). The 1.3T engine has a maximum power of 101kW (137Ps) and a peak torque of 202N·m; the 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 112kW (152Ps) and a peak torque of 235N·m.
I've been driving the GAC Trumpchi GS4 for over a year now, and the actual fuel consumption is slightly higher than the official figure of 7.6L/100km. In congested urban areas, it often reaches 9-10L/100km, especially when using the air conditioning in summer. On highways, it's much better, dropping to around 7L. I use a fuel tracking app to record each refill, and the average comes out to 8.5L, which is quite reliable. There are many factors affecting fuel consumption, such as low tire pressure which increases it—I check mine monthly. Rapid acceleration and hard braking are also pitfalls; developing smooth driving habits can save fuel. Overall, as a family SUV, the GS4's fuel consumption isn't the lowest, but it offers ample space. It's decent for daily commutes, and you can save on fuel costs during long trips. I recommend choosing the 1.5T version and avoiding heavy throttle inputs.
