What is the actual fuel consumption of the Lynk & Co 06?
2 Answers
The combined fuel consumption of the Lynk & Co 06 is 6.6L/100km. Currently, there are four models of the Lynk & Co 06 on sale: the Shero Pink Special Edition, Type Plus, Jin Pro, and Yao Halo, all with a combined fuel consumption of 6.6L/100km. The above figures are based on the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the data measured under the NEDC test procedure for comprehensive driving conditions. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 7.5-10.4L/100km. The level of a car's fuel consumption 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 displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Cars with greater weight also consume more fuel because heavier 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 the car's resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer controls higher idle speeds to warm up the car, which also increases fuel consumption.
I bought a Lynk & Co 06 1.5T Yao Halo version last year and have driven over 10,000 kilometers now. Fuel consumption is highest during morning and evening rush hour traffic in the city - with AC on, the display shows 9.8L, but actual calculation is close to 11L. Highway driving was quite a pleasant surprise though, maintaining 100 km/h uses less than 6L. Once during a trip, I drove 750 km on a full tank of gas on highways. For my daily 7km commute that takes half an hour, monthly fuel costs run about 700-800 yuan. I recommend installing a mobile app to monitor real-time fuel consumption - you can see the numbers spike when accelerating hard, which helps remind you to ease off the pedal. Keep tire pressure above 2.5 - the dealership guy said just 0.3 lower pressure increases fuel consumption by 5%.
