What is the actual fuel consumption of the Venucia D60 automatic transmission?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Venucia D60 automatic transmission is 5.6L/100km. There are currently 4 models of the Venucia D60 automatic transmission on sale: the Yue Ling Edition, Chao Ling Edition, Chang Xing Edition, and Zhi Ling Edition, all with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.6L/100km. The above figures are based on the NEDC test cycle, which measures fuel consumption under standardized conditions. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 7.0-7.6L/100km. Automobile fuel consumption is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before reaching traffic lights can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger engines typically produce more power and require more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous terrain increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more fuel for combustion, which increases consumption. Additionally, the engine control unit may increase idle speed to warm up the engine in cold weather, further raising fuel consumption.
As an office worker, I drive my automatic transmission Venucia D60 to commute every day. With frequent traffic jams in the city, the actual fuel consumption is around 8-9 liters per 100 km, which rises to 9 liters when the air conditioning is on. After driving it for two years, I've noticed that acceleration consumes more fuel, and frequent stops at traffic lights further increase consumption. I recommend adopting fuel-efficient driving techniques: avoid sudden acceleration and maintain a steady speed, which can reduce consumption to around 7.8 liters. Regularly check tire pressure, as low pressure also increases fuel consumption. Changing the engine oil has shown slight improvements. On long highway trips, fuel efficiency is better. I've driven on highways a few times, maintaining a steady speed of 100 km/h, and achieved a consumption of 6.5 liters, which is quite good! Fuel consumption varies from person to person. After recording data for several months, my average is 8.2 liters, slightly higher than my friend's Emgrand. Before buying a car, test driving in different scenarios is the most reliable approach.
