What is the actual fuel consumption of the Peugeot 408 1.6t?
1 Answers
The combined fuel consumption of the Peugeot 408 1.6t is 5.8L/100km. There are currently three models of the Peugeot 408 1.6t on sale: the 10th Anniversary Edition, the 10th Anniversary Premium Edition, and the 10th Anniversary Ultimate Edition, all with a combined fuel consumption of 5.8L/100km. The above figures are based on the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 7.0-9.2L/100km. Specific factors affecting a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Vehicle weight: Larger and heavier cars tend to consume more fuel. Generally, a small family car with a 1.6L engine weighs around 1.2 tons and has a fuel consumption of approximately 7.5 liters (calculated under full load), while an SUV weighing around 1.5 tons consumes about 8.5 liters. Different weights result in varying fuel consumption. Drag coefficient: Higher drag increases fuel consumption during driving. Cars with better aerodynamics have lower drag coefficients, leading to reduced fuel consumption. Economical RPM: During driving, the engine has an optimal torque output point. Maintaining the car's speed within this range significantly reduces fuel consumption. Typically, small-displacement cars achieve this at around 70 km/h, while larger-displacement cars reach it at about 100 km/h. Staying within this economical RPM range ensures minimal fuel consumption. Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at traffic lights can increase fuel consumption.
