1 Answers
Hongqi HS5 has a total of 7 models on sale. Among them, the Hongqi HS5-2022-2.0T-Zhilian Qiling 4WD Edition, Zhilian Qixiang 4WD Legou Edition, and Modified 2.0T-Zhilian Qixiang 4WD Edition, equipped with a 224-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 8.2L per 100km. The Hongqi HS5-2022-2.0T-Zhilian Qiling Edition, Zhilian Qixiang Legou Edition, Zhilian Qiyue Edition, and Modified 2.0T-Zhilian Qixiang Edition, also equipped with a 224-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.7L per 100km. All Hongqi HS5 models have the same fuel tank capacity. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 224-horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 64L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 64/8.2*100=780km. For models equipped with a 224-horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 64L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 64/7.7*100=831km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
