The Haval Chulian consumes 7-8L per 100 kilometers. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel a vehicle consumes when driving at a certain speed for 100 kilometers on the road, which is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is measured under objective conditions by converting the values obtained from a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis into speed parameters, and then calculating the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data for the vehicle model at specified speeds. Here are the factors that affect a car's fuel consumption: 1. Vehicle weight: The relationship between vehicle weight and fuel consumption is directly proportional. It is said that for every 10% reduction in vehicle weight, fuel consumption may also decrease by several percentage points. 2. Aerodynamic drag: A smaller drag coefficient of the vehicle body will significantly reduce fuel consumption. The relationship between these two is also directly proportional. 3. Engine: Currently, the thermal efficiency of most gasoline engines (i.e., the proportion of fuel converted into useful work) has reached over 30%, while diesel engines have exceeded 40%. This is why diesel engines have lower fuel consumption compared to gasoline engines.

I previously drove a Haval Chulian, with urban commuting fuel consumption typically ranging between 8-9L/100km, dropping to around 7L on suburban roads with good conditions, and reaching a minimum of 6.5L on highways. During peak traffic jams, it could go up to 10L, and using air conditioning added approximately 1L to the load. I'm accustomed to smooth driving, minimizing sudden acceleration and braking, and frequently using ECO mode to help save fuel. I maintain tire pressure at the standard level, checking it monthly to avoid excessive rolling resistance. Regular maintenance, such as oil changes and air filter replacements, is performed quarterly to keep fuel consumption stable at an average of 8.5L. Fuel quality is also important; I use Sinopec's higher-grade fuel, which results in less carbon buildup and better efficiency. The actual consumption is higher than the official 6.9L, but for an SUV, this figure is quite normal.

Based on my experience in analyzing automotive data, the actual average fuel consumption of the Haval First Love is 8-10L/100km. Urban driving consumes more fuel due to frequent starts, stops, and idling, while highway cruising at a steady speed is most economical at 7L. The main reasons are the vehicle's weight and high drag coefficient, and the engine operates efficiently at low RPM. Choosing low rolling resistance tires and maintaining proper tire pressure can reduce fuel consumption by 0.5L. Using air conditioning increases fuel costs by 10%, especially noticeable in summer. Driving habits are crucial: avoid speeding, driving with windows open, and frequent braking—coasting more helps. Recording mileage per fuel tank with an app, my actual test showed an average of 8.2L. Fuel-saving techniques like short-distance warm-ups and using the heater can help save a bit. Maintaining the generator's voltage regulator ensures balanced input.

I just bought a Haval Chulian and test drove it for a few weeks, averaging 8L/100km fuel consumption. In congested city traffic, it exceeds 9L, but on the highway, it's only 7L, which is more economical. The car is still in the break-in period, and friends say the fuel consumption might decrease later. I used a fuel-saving app to track it, and gentle acceleration and coasting to decelerate save more fuel than sudden braking. The effect is noticeable when using the air conditioning less, and maintaining standard tire pressure helps. Regularly changing the air filter can assist with air intake and reduce fuel consumption. The actual fuel consumption is slightly higher than advertised, but the comfort is worth it.
