What is the fuel consumption of Changan Ford?
2 Answers
Changan Ford has 4 models currently on sale, including the EVOS-2022-EcoBoost-245-Launch Limited Edition, ST-Line, Sport Edition, and Trend Edition, all equipped with a 238-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.5L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of different Changan Ford models is the same. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 238-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.5L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 66L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 66/7.5*100=880km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacement engines generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement engines because larger displacement usually means greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures cause the engine block temperature to be low, making the injected gasoline less likely to vaporize during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I have professionally studied the fuel consumption data of Changan Ford series vehicles, which vary by model. For example, the Focus with a 1.5T engine averages 8-10 liters/100km in city driving, dropping to 6-7 liters on highways; the Mondeo 2.0L version consumes 9-11 liters in the city and 7-8 liters on highways; while SUVs like the Edge can reach 12-15 liters in urban areas. Key factors affecting fuel consumption include engine technology (turbocharged engines are relatively more fuel-efficient), vehicle weight, and driving habits (sudden acceleration can increase consumption by 20%). I recommend regularly checking tire pressure, avoiding overloading, and using higher-grade fuel to improve efficiency. Additionally, newer hybrid systems can optimize fuel economy to 5-6 liters/100km. Overall, choosing the right model and developing good driving habits can significantly reduce fuel costs.
