What is the actual fuel consumption of the Lynk & Co 01?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the Lynk & Co 01 is 7.8-10.0L/100km. The currently available Lynk & Co 01 models include the 2021 Front-Wheel Drive Pro, Four-Wheel Drive Dark Night Edition, Four-Wheel Drive Halo, and Front-Wheel Drive Pro (4 models). The official NEDC combined fuel consumption is 7.4-7.8L/100km. Among vehicles in the same class, the Tang has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 9.0L/100km, the Karoq 5.9L/100km, the Lynk & Co 02 6.4L/100km, the Vezel 6.0-6.3L/100km, and the Haval Big Dog 6.9-8.0L/100km. The fuel consumption of a vehicle is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Details are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before red lights increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also have higher fuel consumption due to the need for greater 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 vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer may control higher idle speeds to warm up the engine, further increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Lynk & Co 01 for over two years and have gained genuine insights into its fuel consumption. For daily urban commutes, the average fuel consumption hovers around 10-11L/100km, spiking above 12L during peak traffic congestion. On highways, it's much more efficient, maintaining a steady 7-8L, with cruise control offering additional savings. Driving habits play a significant role—I prefer smooth acceleration and anticipatory deceleration, avoiding sudden stops and starts, which saves about 1L. Vehicle maintenance is also crucial: keeping tire pressure at 2.4-2.5bar is ideal, as underinflation increases consumption by over 0.5L; changing oil and cleaning filters every six months ensures the engine runs smoothly with lower fuel usage. Weather impacts consumption too—winter heating raises it by 1L, while summer AC adds around 0.8L. Overall, my Lynk & Co 01 averages 9-10.5L/100km in real-world conditions. Fuel-tracking apps have been invaluable, helping cultivate habits that optimize efficiency—definitely worth it.
