What is the actual fuel consumption of the Verna?
2 Answers
1.4L, 5-speed manual Verna has a MIIT comprehensive working condition fuel consumption of 5.2; 1.4L, 4-speed automatic Verna has a MIIT comprehensive working condition fuel consumption of 5.6. Actual fuel consumption is related to multiple factors such as load, road conditions, driving habits, weather, wind speed, tire pressure, etc. The actual comprehensive fuel consumption should be based on the actual driving conditions. The methods and factors for determining fuel consumption are as follows: Methods for determining fuel consumption: You can determine fuel consumption through the car's dashboard. When the fuel tank warning light comes on, record the mileage, then note how much fuel you add. When the fuel is next depleted, record the mileage again. Subtract the initial recorded 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 a higher fuel consumption does not necessarily mean a larger displacement. In relative terms, the size of a car's engine displacement does not directly correlate with fuel consumption. Besides engine size, factors such as car design, weight, and engine technology are also significant in influencing fuel consumption. Among vehicles with the same displacement, those with more advanced engine technology tend to be more fuel-efficient.
I've driven a Hyundai Verna manual transmission for several years, and in practical use, fuel consumption varies significantly depending on road conditions. In city stop-and-go traffic, it averages over 7 liters per 100 kilometers, while on highways or suburban roads, it can drop to around 5 liters. The advertised figures when the car was new were much lower, but real-world conditions are heavily influenced by driving habits—my friend who drives more aggressively gets up to 8 liters. I recommend maintaining proper tire pressure and timely oil changes to save on fuel costs; over the long term, this can save you thousands a year. Additionally, fuel consumption tends to be slightly higher in cold weather, especially for short trips. Overall, based on my experience, a mixed driving cycle typically yields 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers, making it a quite reliable and economical car.
