What is the actual fuel consumption of the Haval M6?
3 Answers
Haval M6's actual fuel consumption varies depending on the owner's driving habits, road conditions, and other factors, so an exact value cannot be determined. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has announced the Haval M6's combined fuel consumption as 7.4L per 100 kilometers. Below are some details about the Haval M6: Body Dimensions: The Haval M6 measures 4649mm in length, 1830mm in width, and 1705mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm. Powertrain: The Haval M6 is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, delivering 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 210 Nm. The engine's maximum torque range is from 2200 to 4500 rpm, and the maximum power is achieved at 5600 rpm. This engine features multi-point injection technology and an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The engine is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving the Haval M6 for over a year, mainly for urban commuting. The actual fuel consumption is generally around 9-10 liters per 100 kilometers, and it can spike to 11 liters in heavy traffic. On highways, the fuel consumption drops significantly to about 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers. Driving habits play a big role—for example, when I drive more gently, avoiding sudden acceleration and braking, the fuel consumption stabilizes below 9 liters. The car is a 1.5T automatic, and using the air conditioning frequently also increases fuel consumption; running the AC in summer can add about 1 liter. During maintenance, don’t overlook the air filter and engine oil—changing them on time can help save fuel. The Haval M6 has adequate power but isn’t particularly fuel-efficient. If you often drive in the city, budget more for fuel; filling up with 92-octane gasoline and driving 2,000 kilometers a month can easily cost over 1,000 yuan.
As a mechanic with over a decade of experience, the real fuel consumption of the Haval M6 depends on the specific model. Most manual transmission models with the 1.5T engine average 8-9 liters per 100 kilometers, while automatic transmissions range from 9-10 liters. However, in actual driving, customers often report 9-12 liters in urban areas, mainly due to aggressive acceleration causing excessive carbon buildup. It's recommended to regularly check spark plugs and tire pressure, as low pressure also increases fuel consumption. Maintaining proper tire pressure can reduce consumption by 0.5 liters. Avoid frequent use of sport mode and try economical driving with smooth acceleration and deceleration to keep fuel consumption under 10 liters. The car is reliable for long-term use, but be mindful of frequent short trips with cold starts, as this can cause the fuel gauge to read inaccurately and affect actual calculations.
