What is the fuel consumption of Citroen?
2 Answers
Citroen's officially provided combined fuel consumption (L/100km) is 6.4-6.6L/100km. Traffic congestion leads to increased fuel consumption: In most cases, it is difficult to avoid congested road conditions, especially in urban areas where traffic jams are most common on roads with many traffic lights. Frequent acceleration and deceleration while following other vehicles are also unavoidable, resulting in particularly high fuel consumption under such conditions. Insufficient tire pressure leads to increased fuel consumption: When tire pressure is too low, the contact area between the tires and the road surface increases, leading to greater driving resistance and higher fuel consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check whether the tire pressure is normal. Conversely, too much tire pressure is also not advisable. The recommended tire pressure value is around 2.5.
As a long-term Citroën owner, I can say fuel consumption really depends on the specific model and driving habits. For example, my previous C3 averaged about 7-8 liters per 100km in city driving, dropping to around 6 liters on highways. The slightly larger C5 typically maintains about 9 liters in urban areas. Newer models like the C5 Aircross Hybrid are even more fuel-efficient, with city driving around 5 liters. Of course, many factors affect fuel consumption - using AC in summer can increase it by 1-2 liters, and traffic congestion can cause sudden spikes. I recommend regular maintenance to optimize fuel efficiency, with particular attention to air filters and tire pressure. Generally speaking, Citroën's fuel consumption is moderately economical among competing models, especially in compact vehicles.
