What is the fuel consumption of the Bestune B70?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Bestune B70 is 6.1-7.0L/100km. Currently, there are 11 models of the Bestune B70 on sale. The manual Yuzhi model has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.1L/100km. The automatic Yuxiang Special Edition, automatic Zhixiang, automatic Zunxiang, automatic Yuxiang, automatic Yuexiang, automatic 15th Anniversary Edition, and automatic Lexiang models have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.4L/100km. The automatic Yuxiang Special Edition, automatic Yuxiang, and automatic Zhixiang models have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.0L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 6.1-9.8L/100km. 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, 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 engine 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 car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Besturn B70 for nearly two years now. In city driving, the fuel consumption typically ranges between 8 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on traffic congestion. On highways, it's much more economical, dropping to around 6 liters. Based on my own tests by recording refueling mileage, the average consumption is 8.5 liters. Driving habits make a significant difference – for instance, I prefer smooth starts and avoid sudden braking, which saves about 0.5 liters. Using air conditioning increases consumption slightly by approximately 0.8 liters. In winter, warming up the car causes a slight increase initially, but it quickly returns to normal. Regular maintenance like changing air filters maintains efficiency without much hassle. Overall, the Besturn B70 offers reasonable and economical fuel consumption. I recommend new drivers take it on highways more often to get familiar with it. Considering road conditions and driving style variations, keeping detailed records helps adjust habits for better fuel economy.
