What is the fuel consumption of the Accord gasoline version?
3 Answers
The Accord gasoline version currently has 5 models on sale. Among them, the 2022 260TURBO Comfort Edition, Luxury Edition, and Premium Edition are equipped with a 194 horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6L per 100 km. The 2022 260TURBO Phantom Night·Flagship Edition and Premium Edition are also equipped with a 194 horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.5L per 100 km. The fuel tank capacity of the Accord gasoline version is 56L. The distance each model can travel on a full tank of fuel is as follows: 2022 260TURBO Comfort Edition, Luxury Edition, and Premium Edition can travel 56/6*100=933km on a full tank. 2022 260TURBO Phantom Night·Flagship Edition and Premium Edition can travel 56/6.5*100=861km on a full tank. The level of a car's fuel consumption 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 a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean 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 the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not vaporize easily, requiring more gasoline to burn, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine's computer controls higher RPMs to warm up the car, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Accord fuel version for almost three years now, a 1.5T model commuting 30 kilometers daily in the city. With normal air conditioning use, the fuel consumption during morning rush hour traffic jams fluctuates between 8.5-9.2L. On weekends when driving on the highway, I paid special attention - maintaining cruise control at 110 km/h resulted in fuel consumption of only about 6.3L. Surprisingly, national highways proved most fuel-efficient, maintaining a steady speed of 60-80 km/h could achieve 5.8L. I remember when I first got the car and didn't know better, frequently flooring the accelerator would push consumption over 10L. Now I've learned - easing off the gas before traffic lights and braking less has stabilized fuel consumption significantly. Tire pressure is also crucial - last time when the pressure was insufficient, it cost an extra 0.7L.
The fuel consumption of the Accord really depends on how you drive it. Last week, I specifically tested it—when maintaining a steady speed of 70 km/h on urban expressways, the dashboard showed 5.9L/100km. However, during evening rush hour in the CBD while crawling in traffic, the instantaneous fuel consumption can jump to 12L. The impact of air conditioning is greater than expected; running the AC in summer consumes about 0.8L more compared to spring and autumn. Engine temperature also has a noticeable effect—fuel consumption is particularly high during the first ten minutes after a cold start in winter. The transmission is quite smart, though; the CVT keeps the RPM in the optimal range during smooth acceleration. The 53L fuel tank isn’t small, and I only need to refuel twice a month for my commute.
