What is the actual fuel consumption of the Verna 1.4 manual?
2 Answers
The Verna's fuel consumption is 5.6 liters per 100 kilometers. Here are the relevant details: 1. The Verna is a compact sedan under Hyundai, equipped with a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine across all models. The Verna measures 4300mm in length, 1705mm in width, 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2570mm. 2. Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained in constant-speed driving fuel consumption tests as stipulated by national standards for certain types of vehicles. These vehicle types include: (1) M1 category, M2 category with a maximum design total mass not exceeding 3.5 tons, and N1 category compressed natural gas vehicles; maximum design total mass not exceeding 3.5 tons. M1 category and N1 category vehicles follow the test methods specified in GB/T12545.1-2008 "Test methods for fuel consumption of passenger vehicles". (2) M2 category, M3 category with a maximum design total mass exceeding 3.5 tons, and N2 category, N3 category compressed natural gas vehicles; M2 category, M3 category, and N category vehicles with a maximum total mass greater than or equal to 2 tons follow the test methods specified in GB/T12545.2-2001 "Test methods for fuel consumption of commercial vehicles".
I've been driving a Kia Rio 1.4 manual for over three years now, and the actual fuel consumption really varies from person to person. I mainly commute in the city with lots of congested roads, averaging around 8L per 100km. On the highway, it can drop to about 6L. The key is how you drive—frequent rapid acceleration or braking can cause fuel consumption to skyrocket. I drive more smoothly, change the engine oil and air filter regularly, and can keep it just over 7L. Using the AC in summer can increase fuel consumption by 0.5L, and the same goes for winter when cold starts require warming up. It's best to record each refuel and use an app to calculate the combined fuel consumption more accurately—my actual combined consumption is around 7.2L. When choosing a car, don’t just rely on the displayed data; real-world driving is more reliable. Also, don’t let tire pressure get too low—keeping it at the recommended value can save some fuel. In short, this isn’t a big issue; the key is to pay more attention to driving habits.
