What is the actual fuel consumption of the Lingpai 1.8?
3 Answers
Lingpai 1.8 has a total of 2 models: Lingpai-2017-1.8L-CVT Luxury Special Edition and Comfort Special Edition, both equipped with a 136 horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.3L per 100 kilometers. All models of Lingpai 1.8 have the same fuel tank capacity. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 136 horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 47L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 47/6.3*100=746km. 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. Cars with greater weight 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, which increases 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.
Oh, I've been driving the Lingpai 1.8 for several years, and I feel that fuel consumption really depends on how you drive. The official combined fuel consumption is around 7-8L/100km, but in reality, in city traffic, it can go up to 9-10L, while on highways, it's more economical, around 6-7L. Driving habits have a big impact—aggressive acceleration, frequent hard braking, and excessive use of air conditioning can all increase fuel consumption. Car maintenance is crucial; regular oil changes and cleaning the air filter help maintain efficiency. Also, temperature changes play a role—using AC in summer or warming up the car in winter consumes more fuel. Overall, for daily commuting, 8-9L/100km is common, and driving gently can help control it. However, as the car ages, fuel consumption may slightly increase. I recommend keeping a record after each refuel to track actual values and stay informed.
As someone who enjoys studying cars, I believe the actual fuel consumption of the Lingpai 1.8 shouldn't be judged by a single number. Equipped with a 1.8L engine, based on feedback I've encountered, it typically fluctuates between 7-9L/100km in mixed driving conditions. In stop-and-go city traffic, consumption can rise to 9-10L; on highways, it drops to 6-7L. Driving style has the most significant impact – smooth acceleration and deceleration, plus minimal AC usage can save considerable fuel. Vehicle conditions like tire pressure, oil freshness, and dirty filters may add 0.5-1L extra consumption. Personally, I've measured several long trips where I easily maintained under 7.5L, proving the value of good habits. Regular maintenance checks are crucial to prevent minor issues from increasing fuel consumption – these tips are highly beneficial for daily expenses.
