What is the actual fuel consumption of the Qin DMI?
2 Answers
The average actual fuel consumption of the Qin DMI is 6.46L/100km. There is no absolute value for fuel consumption as it is related to individual driving habits. Factors affecting fuel consumption are as follows: Driving Habits: The level of a car's fuel consumption is related to many factors, including driving environment and driving habits. For example, prolonged engine idling, sudden braking, inconsistent driving speeds, insufficient tire pressure, aggressive acceleration, and long-distance driving at high speeds in low gears, etc. Road Conditions: Additionally, road conditions have a significant impact on fuel consumption. If you frequently drive on rough and uneven roads, fuel consumption is bound to increase.
I've been driving the Qin DM-i for a while now. With frequent start-stop and air conditioning usage in city driving, the actual fuel consumption is around 5 to 6 liters per 100 kilometers. On highways at constant speeds, it can drop to just over 4 liters. It's quite worry-free to drive - the hybrid system automatically switches between fuel and electric modes without the range anxiety of pure EVs. The engine noise is minimal when it kicks in, and it's even more fuel-efficient when charging is convenient. I've tried gentle driving and kept records at refueling - average monthly fuel costs are less than 200 yuan, which is truly cost-effective. Compared to pure gasoline cars, it saves at least half the expenses while being more environmentally friendly. With good road conditions or in eco mode, it can get closer to the officially claimed 3.8 liters, but I suggest not taking advertisements at face value - observe your actual usage for a few days. Overall, it's highly recommended for beginners or urban commuters.
