What is the actual fuel consumption of the Lamando 280?
2 Answers
The Lamando currently has 3 models on sale. Among them, the Lamando 2021 Facelift 280TSI DSG Comfort Edition and the Lamando 2021 280TSI DSG Luxury Phantom Edition, both equipped with a 150-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.6L per 100km. The Lamando 2021 230TSI DSG Style Edition, equipped with a 131-horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.4L per 100km. All Lamando models have the same fuel tank capacity. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: The Lamando 2021 Facelift 280TSI DSG Comfort Edition and the Lamando 2021 280TSI DSG Luxury Phantom Edition, both equipped with a 150-horsepower engine, have a fuel tank capacity of 51L. The distance that can be covered with a full tank is 51/5.6*100=911km. The Lamando 2021 230TSI DSG Style Edition, equipped with a 131-horsepower engine, also has a fuel tank capacity of 51L. The distance that can be covered with a full tank is 51/5.4*100=944km. Automobile fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle 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 encountering a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier vehicles 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 vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low during cold starts, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine control unit will command higher RPMs to warm up the engine, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Lamando 280 for almost two years now. The actual fuel consumption for daily commuting is around 7.5-8.5 liters. In city traffic jams, it can spike above 9 liters, while the lowest I've achieved on highway cruising was 5.8 liters. With its 55-liter fuel tank, it's easy to cover 600 km on a full tank. Running the AC at full blast adds about 0.7 liters per 100 km, and fuel consumption jumps by 1 liter on rainy slippery roads. Compared to the official 5.7-liter figure, there's still a gap in real-world driving conditions. I recommend using Eco mode for city driving, regularly cleaning throttle valve carbon deposits, and maintaining tire pressure above 2.5 - these details can help save quite a bit on fuel costs.
