What is the fuel consumption of Dongfeng Lingzhi M5?
2 Answers
Dongfeng Lingzhi M5 has an average fuel consumption of around 8.5 liters per 100 kilometers. The following are factors that affect fuel consumption: Insufficient tire pressure and tire wear: Insufficient or low tire pressure increases friction between the tires and the ground, leading to greater resistance and higher fuel consumption. Severe tire wear can cause frequent skidding, which also increases fuel consumption. Fuel quality and carbon deposits: Poor-quality gasoline can lead to increased carbon deposits. Excessive carbon deposits make the intake pipe walls rough, affecting the intake efficiency and the quality of the air-fuel mixture, causing a sharp rise in fuel consumption. Therefore, fuel quality cannot be ignored, and it is essential to clean carbon deposits every six months. Aggressive driving habits such as rapid acceleration and flooring the throttle at startup can significantly increase fuel consumption. Therefore, maintaining good driving habits is a crucial factor in preventing high fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Dongfeng Lingzhi M5 for two years, mainly for long-distance freight. This car is indeed quite fuel-efficient on highways, with my actual test showing 7.9L/100km, but in the city it quickly rises to 11L. On average, the dashboard shows around 9.5L, and when carrying more cargo, it adds another liter. Using 95-octane gasoline allows me to drive dozens of kilometers more than with 92-octane, and maintaining tire pressure at 2.5 is more fuel-efficient than at 2.2. Recently, with rising fuel prices, the cost per kilometer has exceeded 0.5 yuan, slightly higher than my friend's Wuling Hongguang, but the larger cargo space makes it worth it. I recommend installing a fuel consumption monitoring APP for those who frequently drive long distances, as it helps adjust driving habits in real time.
