What is the fuel consumption of the 2013 Cruze?
1 Answers
The 2013 Cruze has 15 models. Among them, the 1.8L-SX-WTCC Edition-AT, SX-AT, SE-WTCC Edition-AT, and SE-AT, equipped with a 147-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.8L per 100km. The Hatchback-1.6T-Automatic Flagship model, equipped with a 184-horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 8.2L per 100km. The 1.6L-SE-WTCC Edition-AT, SE-AT, Automatic Luxury Edition, and SL Tiandi Edition-AT, equipped with a 121-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.6L per 100km. The remaining 6 models, all equipped with a 121-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.9L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of different 2013 Cruze models is the same. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 147-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.8L per 100km have a fuel tank capacity of 60L, and can cover a distance of 60/7.8*100=769km with a full tank. Models equipped with a 184-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 8.2L per 100km have a fuel tank capacity of 60L, and can cover a distance of 60/8.2*100=732km with a full tank. Models equipped with a 121-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.6L or 6.9L per 100km have a fuel tank capacity of 60L, and can cover distances of 60/7.6*100=789km or 60/6.9*100=870km with a full tank. 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 can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. 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 resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline is less likely to vaporize, requiring more gasoline for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, in cold temperatures, the engine control unit may increase the idle speed to warm up the engine, which also increases fuel consumption.
