What is the actual fuel consumption of the Malibu XL 1.5T?
1 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Malibu XL 1.5T is 6.3-6.4L/100km. Currently, there are 9 models of the Malibu XL 1.5T on sale. The 535T Automatic Ruixing version has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.3L/100km. The 535T Automatic Ruilian version and the 535T Automatic Ruidong version have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.4L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 7.2-7.5L/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 a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not releasing the throttle in advance when encountering a red light, will 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 will also have higher fuel consumption 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 the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low during a cold start, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
