What is the actual fuel consumption of the Volvo S90 hybrid version?
1 Answers
Volvo S90's officially announced combined fuel consumption is 6.7L/100km. There are currently 4 models of Volvo S90 on sale: the Momentum Luxury Edition, Momentum Sport Edition, Inscription Luxury Edition, and Excellence Luxury Edition, all with a combined fuel consumption of 6.7L/100km. The above figures are NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the data measured under the NEDC test procedure for comprehensive driving conditions. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 8.6-10.7L/100km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before encountering a red light will increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn for work. Heavier cars also have higher fuel consumption because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the gasoline injected during cold starts does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
