What is the actual fuel consumption per kilometer for the BYD Song 1.5T?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption per kilometer for the BYD Song 1.5T is approximately 0.1 liters, with a real-world fuel consumption of around 10 liters per 100 kilometers. Taking the 2021 BYD Song 1.5T as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4600mm, width 1830mm, height 1700mm, with a wheelbase of 2660mm, a fuel tank capacity of 63 liters, and a curb weight of 1630kg. The 2021 BYD Song 1.5T features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 160PS, a maximum power of 118kW, and a maximum torque of 245Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving the BYD Song 1.5T for over half a year now, with real urban fuel consumption around 7.5-9L/100km, which translates to 0.075-0.09 liters per kilometer. On highways, it can drop to 6-7L/100km, or 0.06-0.07 liters per kilometer. There are quite a few influencing factors. For example, I'm used to gentle driving with less sudden acceleration, which helps keep fuel consumption lower. However, in heavy traffic or when using air conditioning, fuel consumption can easily exceed 10L. I recommend checking tire pressure before each drive. If the tires are too soft, it increases friction and fuel consumption. If the tire pressure is low, inflate them promptly to save a lot. Regular oil changes are also important. I service my car every 5,000 kilometers to keep the engine running smoothly, maintaining an overall average fuel consumption below 8L/100km, which is quite economical.
