What is the approximate fuel consumption of the Xingyue?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Xingyue is 5.6-7.9L/100km. There are currently 6 models of the Xingyue available for sale. The 300T Yaoxingzhe has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.6L/100km. The 260T Ruixingzhe has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.6L/100km. The 350T Yaoxingzhe and 350T Yuxingzhe have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.5L/100km. The 350T Meiying Qishi Ban AWD and 350T Yuxingzhe AWD have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.9L/100km. The above figures are NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption data, measured under the NEDC test procedure. Actual fuel consumption is higher than these values, ranging from 7.5-9.8L/100km. Specific factors affecting a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Vehicle weight: Larger and heavier vehicles consume more fuel. Generally, a small family car with a 1.6L engine and a weight of about 1.2 tons has a fuel consumption of approximately 7.5 liters (calculated under full load conditions), while an SUV weighing about 1.5 tons has a fuel consumption of around 8.5 liters. Different weights result in different fuel consumption levels. Drag coefficient: Higher drag increases fuel consumption during driving. Cars with better aerodynamics have lower drag coefficients, which results in lower fuel consumption. Economical RPM: During driving, the engine has an optimal torque output point. Maintaining the car's speed within this range significantly reduces fuel consumption. Typically, small-displacement cars achieve this at around 70 km/h, while larger-displacement cars reach it at about 100 km/h. Staying within this economical RPM range ensures minimal fuel consumption. Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors such as rapid acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at red lights can increase fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Xingyue 2.0T AWD version, with city commuting fuel consumption averaging around 10-11L/100km. The car's power is indeed impressive, but fuel consumption noticeably increases at traffic lights, especially in summer when using AC, reaching up to 12L/100km. It's much more economical on highways, with cruise control at 80-100 km/h consuming only 7.5L/100km, and even less if driven steadily. I recommend installing a tire pressure monitoring system and maintaining 2.5 bar tire pressure, which can save about 0.5L/100km. Also, avoid carrying too much weight in the trunk; traveling light helps with fuel efficiency. If frequently stuck in traffic, using the eco mode is better—throttle response is slower but more fuel-efficient. Overall, as a sporty SUV, the Xingyue's fuel consumption is at a medium level among its peers.
