What is the actual fuel consumption of the Southeast V3?
4 Answers
Southeast LIONCEL V3 has a general fuel consumption of 6.8-9.2L; on highways, it's around 6.3-7.8L. Below are the specific details about the Mitsubishi 4A91S engine: 1. Features: The Mitsubishi 4A91S engine is a reverse-flow engine, which may produce more noise, and attention should be paid to heat dissipation issues. The advantages of this engine are its light weight, high fuel efficiency, and long service life. 2. Models equipped: The Southeast autonomous brand V3 LIONCEL, Brilliance Junjie FRV, GAC Mitsubishi ASX, and Haima's new car M2 are all equipped with the 4A91S engine. 3. Performance: The direct-driven DOHC 4-valve with MIVEC variable valve timing system provides an output power of 83kW and a peak torque of 141Nm for the 1.5L displacement engine, with a fuel consumption of only 6.7L per 100 kilometers.
I've been driving a SouEast V3 Lingyue for over two years and would like to share my real-world fuel consumption experience. My daily commute is mainly in the city, with an average fuel consumption around 8 liters per 100 kilometers; it drops to about 7 liters on highways. However, it can rise to 9 liters if the car is old or poorly maintained. I've measured the actual fuel consumption several times: fill up the tank and note the mileage, then calculate at the next fill-up; using a mobile app is also convenient. Fuel-saving tips include smooth driving, avoiding sudden acceleration and braking, and driving with windows down instead of air conditioning when unloaded can save some fuel. Keeping tire pressure at the standard value and regularly replacing the air filter can bring fuel consumption back to normal levels. Overall, the V3's fuel consumption is decent, and with proper maintenance, it's economical.
As a tech enthusiast, I've done some analysis on the V3's fuel consumption. It's equipped with a 1.5L engine, with an official MIIT rating of 6.5L/100km, but real-world driving ranges between 7-9L/100km. Contributing factors include air resistance, vehicle weight, and driving habits – aggressive driving or traffic congestion can cause fuel consumption to spike. I recommend gentle throttle application and avoiding prolonged idling; aging components like worn spark plugs can also increase fuel usage. To measure real-world consumption, you can manually record fuel fill-ups and mileage or use an OBD device for readings. Overall, it's at a moderate level – not exceptionally fuel-efficient but reliable. Regular maintenance can help optimize performance.
I have extensive driving experience and have driven the V3 for several years. The actual fuel consumption is approximately 8 liters per 100 km in the city and 7 liters on the highway. It may rise to 10 liters if the car is old or poorly maintained. The key to fuel efficiency is smooth driving and avoiding frequent lane changes. Regular checks on tires and engine oil are essential. Simple and practical.
