What is the actual fuel consumption of the Roewe RX3?
2 Answers
The Roewe RX3 currently has three models: the PRO 1.6L CVT Elite, the Flagship, and the Manual Flagship. All three are equipped with a 125 horsepower engine, with an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.3L. Models equipped with the 125 horsepower engine have an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.3L and a fuel tank capacity of 48L. The distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is 48/6.3*100=761km. 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 displacement engines generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement engines because larger displacement usually means higher 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 the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to burn, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Roewe RX3 for nearly two years. As someone who frequently navigates both city streets and highways, my actual fuel consumption typically ranges between 8.5 to 10L/100km in urban areas, with higher figures during traffic jams. On highways, it drops to a stable 7-8L. My model comes with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine paired with an automatic transmission. Given my daily commute with frequent traffic lights, the average fuel consumption hovers around 9L, translating to roughly 600 yuan per month in fuel costs. To better manage fuel efficiency, I believe the key lies in driving habits—avoiding sudden braking, maintaining steady speeds, and preventing the engine from lingering in low RPM ranges. Additionally, regular tire pressure checks are essential; underinflation increases resistance. Also, moderate use of air conditioning, especially in summer, helps. Utilizing a fuel monitoring app to track data can assist in making adjustments for more economical driving—safe and practical.
