The actual fuel consumption of the 2021 Malibu XL 1.5T is 7.3 liters per 100 kilometers. Below is a partial introduction to the 2021 Malibu XL 1.5T: Disadvantages: The performance of the 1.5T engine power system is average, the chassis lacks a premium feel, there is no headrest in the rear center, the interior is poor with strong odors, the tire noise is loud, the rear center floor has a significant bulge, and the interior materials are also of low quality. Advantages: The exterior design is sporty, the center console is convenient to operate, there are substantial market terminal discounts, good cost-performance ratio, low fuel consumption, good comfort, high configuration, strong acceleration, and comfortable suspension damping.
As a car owner, the actual fuel consumption of my Malibu XL 1.5T is definitely not a fixed number—it largely depends on your driving habits and road conditions. After driving for nearly a year, I've found that during daily commutes in heavy traffic, it can spike to over 10 liters per 100 kilometers, especially during rush hour when traffic jams are frequent. However, it’s much more fuel-efficient on highways, usually around 6.5 liters, slightly higher when the air conditioning is on. Driving habits play a crucial role; aggressive acceleration and braking can significantly increase fuel costs. Temperature also affects consumption, with winter starts being particularly fuel-intensive. I recommend regular maintenance, checking tire pressure, and keeping the engine clean—these small measures add up and can help reduce fuel consumption. On average, it’s around 8.5-9 liters, which is decent but not the most fuel-efficient.
