What is the fuel consumption of the Boyue with air conditioning on in summer?
3 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Boyue with air conditioning on in summer is around 9 to 10 liters. Introduction to car fuel consumption: Generally, the car's onboard computer will provide an average fuel consumption value, which is displayed on the dashboard, but there is usually a certain discrepancy with the actual fuel consumption; specific car fuel consumption can be calculated using a formula. Precautions for car fuel consumption: Plan your route before driving, check the traffic conditions, and try to avoid roads prone to traffic jams. Maintain a steady speed while driving; unstable driving speeds can increase fuel consumption by about 6% in suburban areas and 2% in urban areas; avoid carrying unnecessary items in the car to reduce its weight.
I've been driving the Boyue PRO for almost three years now. In summer, turning on the AC does increase fuel consumption significantly. Normally, city driving without AC averages around 8-9 liters per 100 km, but with AC on, it jumps to 10-11 liters. This is because when the compressor kicks in, the engine has to work harder, increasing the load and naturally raising fuel consumption. I recommend not setting the AC temperature too low – I've found around 24°C to be the most cost-effective, while also using the external air circulation to assist ventilation. Also, pay attention to not overloading the car, check tire pressure weekly, and maintain engine efficiency. Overall, the Boyue's fuel consumption is average among SUVs. Driving like this in summer might cost an extra few dozen yuan per month in fuel, but the improved comfort makes it worth it.
As a car enthusiast, I must say the fuel consumption of the Boyue depends on the engine model: the 1.8T engine averages 7-10 liters per 100 km in urban driving, and using the AC in summer increases it by 1-2 liters. Why such a significant rise? Once the compressor kicks in, it draws power from the engine, reducing output and naturally increasing fuel consumption. I've noticed that during hot weather, continuous compressor operation consumes even more fuel. Proper driving techniques can help mitigate this, such as avoiding sudden acceleration and maintaining a steady speed around 80 km/h. Additionally, AC maintenance is crucial—cleaning the filter and replacing it twice a year, otherwise a clogged filter makes the compressor work harder. In summary, while the Boyue’s fuel consumption is slightly higher with the AC on, its overall performance remains reliable.
