What is the actual fuel consumption of the Song MAX?
3 Answers
The official combined fuel consumption of the Song MAX is 7.6L/100km. When driving in urban areas, the average fuel consumption of the manual transmission model is 7.9L/100km. Here is some relevant information: 1. There are a total of 22 models of the Song MAX currently on sale, with a single 1.5T engine displacement and a choice of 2 transmissions: dual-clutch and manual. The engine has a maximum power output of 113kW, maximum horsepower of 154PS, and maximum torque of 240N·m. In terms of exterior design, the 2019 Song MAX features a new "stereo rhythmic grille" on the front fascia that connects with the "dragon eye headlights" on both sides, giving the entire front end a sporty and aggressive look. 2. The new model has added details such as dual-color exterior mirrors, 17-inch sharp dual-tone sport rims, and luxurious amber gold paint. The exaggerated large-mouth design perfectly integrates the headlights, fog lights, and other areas, with thick chrome trim strips appearing very harmonious.
I've been driving the Song Max DM-i version for almost a year, mainly for picking up and dropping off kids at school and weekend family trips. In heavy city traffic, the fuel consumption is slightly higher, around 8-9 liters per 100 kilometers; but it becomes more economical on highways, dropping to about 6-7 liters. On average, the combined fuel consumption is around 7.5 liters. To save fuel, I'm used to gently pressing the accelerator, using cruise control more often, and regularly checking tire pressure, maintaining cold tire pressure at 2.3 bar. Additionally, using the air conditioning aggressively can increase fuel consumption by 0.5 liters, so I try to turn it off before parking in summer. Overall, as an MPV, the Song Max has quite affordable fuel consumption, especially feeling more economical than SUVs on long trips, saving hundreds of yuan on monthly fuel costs, making it very worthwhile for family use.
From my experience communicating with fellow car owners, the actual fuel consumption of the Song Max is significantly affected by driving habits. In urban conditions, it generally ranges around 9L/100km, while on highways it can drop to 6.5-7L. A comprehensive measured average of 8L is not surprising. When using air conditioning or carrying full loads, an increase to 10L is not unusual. I recommend practicing gentle driving, avoiding sudden braking and acceleration, and paying attention to maintenance—such as changing the engine oil and checking the air filter every 5,000 kilometers to maintain engine efficiency. Regularly cleaning out the trunk to reduce weight can lower fuel consumption by 5-10%. Compared to other MPVs in its class, the Song Max is relatively fuel-efficient, making its maintenance costs reasonable.
