What is the actual fuel consumption of the Lavida 1.6 automatic?
2 Answers
The Lavida 1.6L comes in four models: the 2017 Lavida 1.6L manual Comfort Edition, Fashion Edition, automatic Fashion Edition, and automatic Comfort Edition. These models are equipped with a 110-horsepower engine, with NEDC fuel consumption of 6.2L and 6.9L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity is the same across all Lavida 1.6L models. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models with the 110-horsepower engine and a 55L fuel tank, the distance is 55/6.2*100=887km or 55/6.9*100=797km. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as rapid acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at traffic lights can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel because larger displacements typically produce more power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Headwinds or driving on windy days increase vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, injected gasoline is less likely to vaporize during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine's computer may control higher idle speeds to warm up the engine, further increasing fuel consumption.
The actual fuel consumption of the Lavida Hatchback 1.6L automatic transmission varies from person to person. I drove it for a while, and in city traffic jams, it could reach around 11 liters per 100 kilometers, while on highways, it drops to 6-7 liters. On average, it's about 8-9 liters per 100 kilometers. Many factors influence this, such as driving habits—sudden acceleration or frequent braking can increase fuel consumption by 1-2 liters. I recommend starting gently. Additionally, road conditions are crucial; heavy traffic during peak hours in the city naturally leads to higher fuel consumption, so it's better to travel during off-peak times. For maintenance, regularly checking tire pressure and keeping cold tire pressure within the standard range can save a lot of fuel. I pay attention to these details while driving, and my fuel consumption is well controlled. Actual driving conditions vary, so observing multiple times based on your own situation is necessary for an accurate estimate. After the vehicle's break-in period, it might be slightly lower, but generally fluctuates within this range.
