What is the fuel consumption of a sedan?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of a sedan is 9 liters per 100 kilometers. Below is relevant information about fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: This refers to the amount of fuel a vehicle consumes when driving a hundred kilometers at a certain speed on the road. It is a theoretical indicator for vehicles. Manufacturers determine this value by using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis in controlled environments, converting the measured data into speed parameters, and then calculating the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers for the model at specified speeds. 2. Road condition fuel consumption: Also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption, this is a fuel indicator calculated based on repeated tests where the vehicle is driven on specified roads at regulated speeds and times. The standard specifies that each cycle includes various driving conditions, recording parameters such as gear shift timing, stopping time, driving speed, acceleration, braking, and deceleration for each cycle. The values obtained through this method are closer to real-world consumption.
I've driven many cars, and the fuel consumption of sedans generally ranges from 6 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers. Engine displacement directly affects fuel consumption. A 1.6-liter car typically consumes around 8 liters in city driving and can drop to 6 liters on highways. For 2.0-liter models, city driving consumption may reach 10 liters. Vehicle weight and road conditions are also crucial factors—fuel consumption during traffic congestion can be 2-3 liters higher than during smooth driving. Wider tires and air conditioning usage will increase fuel consumption. The official fuel consumption data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology can only serve as a reference, as actual consumption tends to be higher. Japanese cars are generally more fuel-efficient, while German cars offer better stability but slightly higher fuel consumption. Regular maintenance, such as changing engine oil and air filters, is very helpful in maintaining low fuel consumption.
