What is the actual fuel consumption of the Lynk & Co 09?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the Lynk & Co 09 is 9.0L/100km. Definition of fuel consumption: Fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator of a car when driving at a constant speed on good roads. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for vehicles on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. For example, France and Germany use the constant-speed fuel consumption at 90Km/h and 120Km/h as the main evaluation indicators for fuel economy. China also adopts this indicator, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers indicated in domestic car manuals is generally the constant-speed fuel consumption. Calculation method for actual fuel consumption: The algorithm for actual fuel consumption of a car: fuel consumption per 100 kilometers = volume of a certain amount of fuel (liters) ÷ distance the car can travel with that amount of fuel (kilometers) × 100. Currently, the most commonly used and relatively accurate method is: fill the tank to the brim, reset the trip meter, and start normal driving. After driving 180 kilometers, refill the tank to the same brim level (same position), and the accurate comprehensive fuel consumption for that distance can be obtained.
I've been driving the Lynk & Co 09 for almost two years now, mainly commuting in the city. During rush hour traffic jams, the fuel consumption can spike to around 11 liters per 100 kilometers, but on weekend highway trips, it drops to 8 liters. My driving habits are relatively smooth, with rare sudden acceleration, so the average consumption stays around 9 liters. During maintenance, the technician mentioned that regular oil changes and checking tire pressure can also save fuel. Personally, I feel this SUV has strong power, but the fuel consumption is slightly higher than the official claims, possibly due to the vehicle's weight and urban driving conditions. It's advisable to pay more attention to driving techniques, such as avoiding sudden braking and accelerating smoothly, which can save a significant amount on fuel costs in the long run.
