What is the fuel consumption of the BYD F3?
2 Answers
There are 3 available models of the BYD F3, including the 2020 1.5L Manual Classic, Luxury, and Value Edition, all equipped with a 109-horsepower engine. The NEDC fuel consumption is 5.9L per 100km, which is the official data. The fuel tank capacity of the BYD F3 is 50L, and the distance it can travel on a full tank is 50/5.9*100=847km. 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. The 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 encountering 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 higher power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. 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 the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block temperature is low during cold starts, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, I can share that the official fuel consumption for the BYD F3 manual transmission is 5-6 liters per 100 kilometers. However, in actual city driving conditions, it often rises to 7 liters. The main reasons include sudden acceleration and braking, or low tire pressure increasing friction resistance. It's advisable to maintain a steady driving speed, check tire pressure every two weeks to keep it at the standard value, and perform regular maintenance such as changing the engine oil and air filter every 5,000 kilometers to avoid impurities clogging the engine, which helps stabilize fuel consumption. The F3 is a great choice for a commuter car, offering high cost-effectiveness. Over the long term, the average fuel consumption is around 6 liters, dropping to just over 5 liters on highways. It's easy to maintain with low costs, making it ideal for owners seeking economical and practical vehicles.
