What is the fuel consumption of GAC Gonow Xinglang?

[HenryAnn]

The fuel consumption range of GAC Gonow Xinglang is 7.2-12.0L/100KM. The MIIT comprehensive fuel consumption is 7.5L/100KM. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: You can add fuel additives (fuel system cleaner) to the fuel tank to improve combustion and remove carbon deposits. It is also recommended to perform regular vehicle inspections and maintenance, and clean or replace the three filters (air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter), which is beneficial for fuel economy, meaning it will help reduce fuel consumption. Driving tips: Generally, fuel consumption is mainly determined by the driver's habits. Avoid prolonged idling, and when waiting at traffic lights, you can turn off the engine and engage the handbrake, or use the auto start-stop function.

As an MPV owner, my daily city driving in the Xinglang averages around 8.5L/100km, with highway trips dropping to 7.2L. But it depends on driving habits: with AC on during summer traffic jams, it can spike to 9.3L, while gentle driving in spring/autumn keeps it under 8L. A full tank of 92-octane gives about 500km range, averaging just over 0.6 yuan per kilometer. Recommended tips: maintain tire pressure above 2.3 bar, avoid overloading the trunk, and shift around 2000 rpm for stable fuel efficiency.

I drove the GA Starry with the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine for three months while working as a Didi driver during morning and evening rush hours in a second-tier city. Recorded fuel consumption: 8.7L/100km when unloaded without AC, and it jumped to 9.8L/100km with full passengers and AC on. This is significantly higher than the official 6.9L figure – test conditions differ vastly from real-world traffic. The fuel consumption data collected in our veteran owners' group is quite reliable: 70% of drivers report daily figures between 7.8-9.2L, with some aggressive drivers exceeding 10L. Regular maintenance truly matters – sticking to 5,000km oil and filter changes saved me 0.3-0.5L per 100km.

I specifically tested the fuel consumption when using this car for cargo hauling: carrying 300kg from the warehouse to the city via provincial roads without traffic congestion, it was about 7.6 liters. After entering the congested urban area, it rose to 8.9 liters. The engine load has a noticeable impact on fuel consumption: when empty on flat roads, it only reaches 1500 rpm at 60km/h, but with cargo, it requires 1800 rpm at the same speed. Those who have modified the wheels should note: replacing the original 175/70R14 with larger rims and wider tires increases fuel consumption by 0.4 to 0.6 liters. When the spark plugs weren't changed at 60,000 kilometers, fuel consumption increased by 1 liter, but after replacing them with new ones, it returned to normal levels.

I've compared the Lingzhi 1.6 and the Ono 1.5 in the same price range, and the Xinglang's fuel consumption is about average. The Lingzhi typically consumes over 9 liters in the city, while the manual Ono can manage just over 7 liters but has less space. The most economical way to drive the Xinglang is maintaining a steady 60 km/h on provincial roads, where the instantaneous fuel consumption shows between 5.6 to 6.3 liters, with the air conditioning adding about 0.8 liters. I've personally tested three times that you can still drive 40 kilometers after the fuel light comes on, but new owners shouldn't try this as it can easily damage the fuel pump. Gear shifting timing is particularly crucial: shifting at 2000 rpm is the most balanced, and exceeding 2500 rpm causes the fuel consumption to spike.

Some car enthusiasts used OBD to measure the cold start fuel consumption of the Xinglang, which was shockingly high, reaching 12 liters in the first five minutes. Special attention should be paid in winter: when the temperature drops below 5 degrees, my fuel consumption increases by about 1.5 liters, and it only decreased after switching to low-viscosity oil. Tire pressure monitoring is crucial: last week, I found the left rear tire had a pressure of 2.0, and after adjusting it to 2.3, I saved 0.7 liters per 100 kilometers. Cars older than five years should have their oxygen sensors checked; my neighbor's sensor was faulty, causing a sharp increase in fuel consumption. It's recommended to record the mileage for every tank of fuel, and using an app like Xiaoxiong Fuel Consumption can make tracking much clearer.
