What is the fuel consumption of the Borui?

[VanNova]

The actual fuel consumption of the Geely Borui is approximately 8.7L/100km. Extended information: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: This refers to the fuel consumption of a vehicle traveling a certain speed for 100 kilometers on the road, which is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis. The measured values are converted into speed parameters, and then the vehicle is driven at specified speeds to calculate the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers for the model. Since most vehicles approach their economical speed at 90 km/h, the theoretical fuel consumption figures released to the public are usually the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers at 90 km/h. For the Borui, which weighs 1760kg: The 1.8T engine provides sufficient power at startup, and the fuel consumption naturally increases when driving in urban areas where speeds are lower. Of course, once the speed reaches 60 km/h, the engine speed exceeds 2,000 rpm, and the turbocharger delivers excellent acceleration power in the latter stages.

I drive a 2018 Borui 1.8T, which has run 50,000 kilometers. The fuel consumption is quite scary in city traffic jams, especially with the AC on in summer, averaging around 11-12L/100km. It's much more economical on highways, about 7.5L/100km when cruising. Last time I went on a long trip, I specifically measured it - the combined fuel consumption for the entire 700-kilometer journey was 8.2L, even with the AC running. For regular maintenance, I always use fully synthetic oil and keep the tire pressure at 2.5, which helps save some fuel. A full tank can last over 500 kilometers, and my monthly commuting fuel cost is about 1,200 yuan. Some car enthusiasts in our group claim they can achieve 9L/100km, but I guess that requires extremely gentle driving.

The fuel consumption of the Borui mainly depends on the powertrain version and road conditions. I've tried the 1.8T gasoline version, and 10-11L/100km in city driving is quite normal—the car weighs 1.7 tons after all. The hybrid version performs much better, with around 6L/100km even when the battery is depleted, and it's even more economical in pure electric mode. Recently, I tested the new plug-in hybrid model, which can run up to 80 kilometers on a full charge. If you have convenient access to charging, you can basically avoid using fuel. I recommend the hybrid version for those who frequently drive in the city—it has a smaller fuel tank but offers longer overall range. By the way, using 5W-30 engine oil viscosity provides a good balance, and keep the tire pressure above 2.3.

I drove my relative's newly purchased Borui for a while in Chengdu. During morning and evening rush hours, the fuel consumption was around 10.5L, dropping to 8L on weekends in the suburbs. To save fuel with this car, you need to control your driving technique—coasting before red lights can save half a liter compared to sudden braking. On a recent family road trip with five people and luggage, the fuel consumption with air conditioning on was 9.2L. Now at 30,000 kilometers, the average is 9.8L, slightly higher than the official data. It's recommended to use 95-octane fuel; we tried 92-octane, and the engine noise noticeably increased. After maintenance, the fuel consumption can drop by about 0.5L.
