What is the average fuel consumption of the Roewe 550 hybrid?
2 Answers
The official combined fuel consumption (L/100km) provided by Roewe is 7.7-8L/100km. However, user feedback varies widely, with no upper or lower limits, reflecting real-world driving conditions where every situation is different, leading to varying fuel consumption. Factors affecting fuel consumption include: 1. Rough roads consume more fuel: Driving on congested or uneven roads in low gear for extended periods inevitably increases fuel consumption; 2. Using the trunk as storage increases fuel consumption: Loading the trunk with unnecessary items increases the vehicle's weight, and since weight is directly proportional to fuel consumption, reducing weight by 10% can lower fuel consumption by several percentage points; 3. Poor driving habits can double or triple fuel consumption: Incorrect driving habits have the most significant impact on fuel consumption, especially during traffic jams, at red lights, or when changing lanes, where rapid acceleration and hard braking are most common.
I've driven this Roewe 550 hybrid, and the average fuel consumption is around 1.5 liters per 100 kilometers, but it depends on the specific situation. I mostly drive in the city, and if I charge frequently and rely more on electric power, the fuel consumption can drop to the minimum. On long trips, when the engine kicks in, the fuel consumption rises to around 2 liters. The key is driving habits: less sudden acceleration and more use of smooth driving modes can save a lot of fuel. Another advantage of hybrids is that in city traffic jams, the auto-generation function kicks in, so fuel consumption doesn’t get too outrageous. I also think maintaining battery health is important—checking the system and wiring every six months helps keep overall efficiency stable. Overall, fuel consumption is at least half that of a conventional gasoline car, and it drives very smoothly.
