What is the actual fuel consumption of the Hongqi HS7?
1 Answers
According to actual measurements, the average fuel consumption of the Hongqi HS7 3.0T model is 13.92L/100KM, with a range of 11.8L-16L. Test data shows that the Hongqi HS7 has relatively poor fuel economy, with urban fuel consumption of 16 liters, comparable to a 4.0T engine. Even when driven gently, the Hongqi HS7's fuel consumption remains around 12 liters. Below are the relevant details: 1. Official fuel consumption: The official combined fuel consumption of the Hongqi HS7 3.0T is 10.9L/100km. Among vehicles in the same class, even with a 3.0T engine, fuel consumption is typically around 9 liters (official data). However, from a mechanical perspective, this fuel consumption is understandable because the Hongqi HS7's engine uses a supercharger instead of a turbocharger. The supercharger consumes some of the crankshaft's power, which explains why the Hongqi HS7 is slightly more fuel-consuming. 2. Fuel-saving methods: Switching to low rolling resistance tires can help improve fuel efficiency to some extent. Additionally, factors such as vehicle weight, tires, aerodynamic drag, and load can also affect fuel consumption. Therefore, to achieve better fuel economy, it is advisable to avoid high engine RPMs and to coast downhill by releasing the accelerator pedal.
