What is the fuel consumption of the BYD F0?
2 Answers
BYD F0 has 5 models, including the 2015 1.0L AMT Yueku and Shangku models, all equipped with a 68-horsepower engine. The NEDC fuel consumption is 5.1L per 100 kilometers, which is the official data. Actual fuel consumption depends on the driver's habits, road conditions, and the use of in-car accessories. Based on actual tests, the BYD F0's real-world fuel consumption is 6.64 liters per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity of the BYD F0 is 30L. With a full tank, it can travel approximately 588 kilometers (30/5.1*100=588km). The F0 is a small-displacement car introduced by BYD on a new technology platform, with a 1.0L engine. It is equipped with the new power system BYD371QA, a mature and environmentally friendly engine independently developed by BYD. Compared to similar vehicles, it has significant advantages in fuel economy, power performance, handling, and safety. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as rapid acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at traffic lights, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Vehicles with larger displacements generally consume more fuel because larger displacements usually mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel due to the need for greater driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous areas increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline is harder to atomize, requiring more fuel for combustion. Additionally, the engine control unit may increase idle speed to warm up the engine, further increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving a BYD F0 for over four years as my daily commuter, and its fuel consumption has been quite satisfying, averaging around 4.5 liters per 100 kilometers. In city traffic during rush hours, it can rise to over 5 liters, while on highways, it can drop below 4 liters. There are several factors affecting fuel consumption, such as driving habits—gentle acceleration saves more fuel than aggressive throttling, and maintaining proper tire pressure is also important. Regular maintenance, like changing the air filter and engine oil, helps keep fuel consumption stable. After driving it for so long, I've found the F0 to be a fuel-efficient choice among compact cars, suitable for practical-minded drivers like me. However, avoid overloading or prolonged use of air conditioning, as these can slightly increase fuel consumption.
