What is the actual fuel consumption of the Sonata?
2 Answers
The Sonata's comprehensive fuel consumption is 9.8 liters per 100 kilometers. The actual comprehensive fuel consumption is influenced by multiple factors such as load, road conditions, driving habits, weather, wind speed, tire pressure, etc., and should be based on actual driving conditions. Methods to determine fuel consumption: You can determine fuel consumption through the car's dashboard, where F=full and E=empty. When the fuel tank warning light comes on, record the mileage, then note how much fuel is added. When the fuel is next exhausted, record the mileage again. Subtract the initial mileage from the current mileage, then divide by the amount of fuel used to calculate the fuel consumption. Factors affecting fuel consumption: There is a certain relationship between engine displacement and fuel consumption, but higher fuel consumption does not necessarily mean larger displacement. Relatively speaking, the size of a car's engine displacement does not directly correlate with fuel consumption. In addition to displacement, factors such as the car's shape, weight, and engine technology are also significant influences on fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Sonata 1.5T for half a year now. During rush hour traffic in the city, fuel consumption can reach 9-10 liters per 100 km, but it's very economical on highway trips during weekends, with the lowest I've achieved being 6.3 liters. The throttle response is quite sensitive, and if you're always into sudden accelerations, the fuel consumption will definitely go up. My colleague's older 2.0L model consistently stays around 9.5 liters. The new engine is indeed more fuel-efficient. I recommend noting down the mileage when refueling and calculating the average over two full tanks for the most accurate measurement.
