What is the actual urban fuel consumption of the 2016 Elysion?
2 Answers
The actual urban fuel consumption of the 2016 Elysion is around 6-7L. The actual urban fuel consumption differs from the MIIT fuel consumption. MIIT fuel consumption: The MIIT fuel consumption adopts a standard cycle test method, where the entire testing process strictly follows the procedure, such as the duration of acceleration, constant speed, idle, etc. Actual fuel consumption: The method to calculate the actual fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is X/100=50/600, where X is the actual fuel consumption per 100 kilometers being sought, and the right side of the equation represents 50L of fuel consumed over 600 kilometers of driving. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the fuel consumption of a vehicle traveling a certain speed on the road for 100 kilometers. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle.
I've been driving a 2016 Honda Elysion for over three years, with actual urban fuel consumption typically ranging between 10 to 11L/100km, depending on usage patterns. In heavy city traffic with frequent stops at traffic lights, it can rise above 12L; whereas driving more steadily—like avoiding sudden braking—can bring it down to around 9L. Equipped with a 2.4L engine, its official rating is 8.5L, but based on my fuel gauge records, I spend an average of 400 yuan monthly on gas. For better efficiency, I recommend checking tire pressure during routine maintenance—keeping it at standard levels saves significant fuel. Also, avoid maxing out the AC; surprisingly, open windows in hot weather increase drag and consumption. Persistent high fuel usage strains the engine, so regular oil changes are crucial. Driving habits matter most—I've adopted techniques like gentle acceleration and avoiding rush-hour routes. Overall, this model isn't a extreme gas guzzler in urban settings, but mindful driving prevents unnecessary expenses.
