What is the actual fuel consumption of the Luxgen U7?
2 Answers
The average fuel consumption of the Luxgen U7 5-speed automatic 2.2T 178HP L4 is 14.09, with a range of 12.12-16.05. The main factors affecting fuel consumption are as follows: 1. Unnecessary increase in vehicle load. Many new car owners tend to overload their cars with various decorations and exterior accessories. 2. Frequent braking and starting. Apart from the car's design and engine factors, the real waste of fuel is caused by the driver's habits, especially frequent sudden braking and rapid acceleration, which are the biggest contributors to increased fuel consumption. 3. High speed at low gear. The biggest misconception in driving is maintaining high speed at low gears. Tests have shown that driving long distances at high speed in 3rd gear increases fuel consumption by 10% compared to normal driving in 4th gear, and using 2nd gear instead of 3rd gear further increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Luxgen U7 for several years, mainly for city commuting, and the actual fuel consumption has always been quite high, averaging around 13 to 15 liters per 100 kilometers. On highways, it can drop to about 10 liters, but once stuck in traffic, it soars to 17 liters. The car has a heavy body, and the 2.2-liter turbocharged engine delivers strong power but guzzles fuel like water. Fueling up every week costs me nearly a thousand bucks, which really hurts the wallet. Driving habits also play a key role—gentle acceleration and fewer sudden brakes can help a bit. Regular maintenance checks are recommended, and changing the air filter can slightly improve efficiency. Overall, this car suits those who prefer a stable driving feel, but the high fuel consumption is a major drawback, making long-term ownership costs quite substantial.
