What is the actual fuel consumption of the Roewe i6?
3 Answers
The Roewe i6 currently has 6 models: the 2020 PLUS 1.6L manual transmission includes the Roewe Style Edition, 4G Internet Roewe Luxury Edition, and 4G Internet Roewe Flagship Edition. Models equipped with a 125-horsepower engine have an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.8L per 100km. The 2020 PLUS 1.6L CVT includes the 4G Internet Roewe Luxury Edition, 4G Internet Roewe Flagship Edition, and 4G Internet Roewe Holographic Edition. Models equipped with a 125-horsepower engine have an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.9L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity is the same for all versions of the Roewe i6. The distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is as follows: Manual transmission models equipped with a 125-horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 45L. The distance that can be covered on a full tank is: 45/5.8*100=775km Automatic transmission models equipped with a 125-horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 45L. The distance that can be covered on a full tank is: 45/5.9*100=762km The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel 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 car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during a cold start, requiring more gasoline to burn, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Roewe i6 for almost two years now, mainly for city commuting and weekend trips. The actual fuel consumption really depends on driving habits - in urban traffic jams, I often get 9-10 liters per 100 km, but it drops to just over 8 liters when roads are clear. On highways, it's more fuel efficient, averaging around 7 liters. The car has a 1.5L turbocharged engine with good power, but aggressive driving habits like sudden braking or frequent acceleration can significantly increase fuel consumption. I recommend regularly checking tire pressure as maintaining proper levels helps save fuel. Overall, my average consumption is about 8.5L/100km - not too thirsty, though slightly higher than I expected. Regular maintenance is also important; I noticed a slight fuel economy improvement after an oil change.
As a mechanic who frequently works with this type of vehicle, I've observed that the actual fuel consumption of the Roewe i6 varies among drivers but typically ranges between 7.5 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers. Key influencing factors include the engine's performance condition – excessive carbon buildup can increase fuel usage. The cleanliness of the air filter and spark plugs also matters; clogged components force the car to consume more fuel to maintain operation. Low tire pressure increases rolling resistance and consequently raises fuel consumption. From my experience, well-maintained vehicles usually stay around 8 liters, while neglected ones often exceed 9 liters. I recommend bi-annual checkups, especially seasonal AC adjustments since using air conditioning adds about 0.5 liters to consumption. Overall, while not exceptionally fuel-efficient, this model delivers stable and reliable performance when properly maintained.
