What is the fuel consumption of the BAIC BJ40?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Beijing BJ40 is not low, with the 2.3T high-power model consuming close to 11 liters per 100 kilometers. Below is some knowledge about reducing fuel consumption: 1. Avoid prolonged acceleration: Keeping the accelerator pressed for long periods is a bad habit for drivers, as it wastes a significant amount of fuel. Generally, on flat roads, a brief press of the accelerator can propel the vehicle a considerable distance due to the inertia generated, which can carry the car forward for dozens of meters. Mastering this technique can easily save fuel. 2. Clean the engine: The engine of the Hongqi H5 is prone to clogging, accumulating a lot of carbon deposits in about a year. This not only blocks the engine's exhaust but also greatly reduces its filtering efficiency, leading to a continuous increase in fuel consumption over time. Therefore, to prevent engine clogging, it's necessary to regularly clean the engine internally. 3. Fueling practices: Generally, the fuel tank should not be filled to 100% capacity. If the tank is too full, the car will consume more fuel to move the extra weight while driving. Filling up to about 80% is more fuel-efficient.
After driving the BAIC BJ40 for a while, I've noticed that fuel consumption really depends on how you use it. During daily commutes in city traffic, it easily reaches 12-14 liters per 100 kilometers, and even higher in severe congestion. However, on long-distance highway trips, maintaining a steady speed of 90 km/h can bring it down to around 10 liters. The engine is the 2.0T gasoline version, which is quite powerful, but off-roading activities like climbing hills or dashing through sand can push consumption above 15 liters, which is a bit costly. I recommend using regular gasoline, maintaining spark plugs regularly, and keeping tire pressure at a reasonable level to save 1-2 liters. After all, it's an SUV, and the weight is a factor—average combined fuel consumption is around 11-13 liters, which isn’t particularly fuel-efficient but also not surprising. For long trips, planning routes in advance to avoid congested areas can help stabilize fuel consumption and reduce stress.
