What is the actual fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the BYD Qin?
2 Answers
BYD Qin has a total of 2 models, including the Qin New Energy 2018 1.5T ZhiLian ZunGui and JingYing models, both equipped with a 154-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 1.4L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity of different BYD Qin models varies, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 154-horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 39L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 39/1.4*100=2786km. 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, 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 displacement engines generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement engines because larger displacement usually means higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight will 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 temperature is low during a cold start, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases 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.
I've been driving the BYD Qin for a while now, and the real-world fuel consumption is quite satisfying. I've kept my own records - in city driving with stop-and-go traffic, it averages around 4.5 liters per 100 kilometers. On highways, it's even more economical, dropping below 4 liters. This does depend on driving habits - I prefer gentle acceleration, avoid sudden braking, and don't often turn the air conditioning too high, which helps maintain stable fuel consumption. Compared to the official figures, my actual usage is quite close, though beginners might see slightly higher consumption if not careful. Regularly checking tire pressure and engine oil condition is also important for keeping fuel consumption even lower. Overall, the BYD Qin is an excellent fuel-efficient car, suitable for daily commuting or long-distance travel.
