What is the actual fuel consumption of the Roewe RX5?
1 Answers
There are a total of 10 Roewe RX5 models currently on sale. Among them, 7 models from the years 2021-2022 are equipped with a 181-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.9L per 100 kilometers. The 3 models from 2020 are equipped with a 169-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.8L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity of the Roewe RX5 is 55L. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with the 181-horsepower engine, the distance with a full tank is 55/6.9*100=797km. For models equipped with the 169-horsepower engine, the distance with a full tank is 55/6.8*100=809km. 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 in advance when approaching 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 higher power output, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also tend to have higher fuel consumption 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, leading to higher fuel consumption. Environmental temperature: Low temperatures cause the engine block to be cold, making it harder for the injected gasoline to atomize during cold starts. More gasoline needs to be injected to achieve combustion, increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, in cold weather, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
