What is the fuel consumption of a Corolla with air conditioning on?
2 Answers
Fuel consumption of a Corolla with air conditioning on: 10.18L/100km. Below are the detailed introductions about the Corolla: Introduction: The Corolla, formerly translated as 'Corolla', is a brand under Toyota Motor. The Corolla is equipped with Michelin 215/45R17 tires, TRD-Sportivo high-performance shock absorbers, reinforced clutch, and high-performance brake pads, ensuring it has relatively ideal sports performance. The first-generation Corolla was launched in 1966 as a people's car. Due to its low price, it was highly popular among consumers at that time. To this day, it has developed to the 11th generation, and the Corolla remains one of the best-selling models globally. 2014 Corolla: The new generation Toyota Corolla was launched in Taiwan on October 7, produced by Hotai Motor in Taiwan. Compared to the previous generation, the new Corolla not only adopts a new design but also has increased body dimensions, with a wheelbase reaching 2700mm.
Turning on the air conditioning in a Corolla does increase fuel consumption somewhat, based on my personal driving experience. During city driving, the normal fuel consumption for a Corolla is around 7-8L per 100 kilometers, but once the air conditioning is turned on, it can surge to 8-9L or more, depending on the heat and driving habits. For example, under the scorching summer sun, the air conditioning compressor works harder, requiring the engine to exert 10-15% more effort, naturally burning more fuel. It's slightly better on highways, but the difference is noticeable in city traffic jams. I usually open the windows for a few minutes to ventilate and cool down the car before switching to air conditioning with recirculation, which is more efficient. The Corolla hybrid version is even more fuel-efficient, with air conditioning increasing fuel consumption by less than 10%, typically staying just above 4L. Remember, don't endure the heat just to save fuel, as it can lead to fatigue and unsafe driving—especially on long trips, it's wiser to use the air conditioning. Maintaining the air filter can also help save some fuel.
