What is the fuel consumption of the BYD Qin DMI cruising at 120 km/h?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the BYD Qin DMI cruising at 120 km/h is 4.37L/100km. Below are some related introductions about fuel consumption: Habits and road conditions: Fuel consumption is greatly related to driving habits and road conditions. Avoid heavy acceleration, gradual acceleration when starting is the most fuel-efficient. To save fuel, avoid pressing the accelerator heavily when starting, as heavy acceleration can increase fuel consumption by 2 to 3 times compared to normal speed starts. Braking: Maintaining distance and avoiding frequent braking saves more fuel. If you don't maintain distance, you may need to brake frequently on the road. When braking, the gear of an automatic transmission car will drop, and the car will have to pull up from a low gear again. Starting from a standstill or low gear requires the engine to consume more fuel.
I've been researching hybrid vehicles, and the BYD Qin DM-i consumes approximately 5-6 liters per 100 kilometers when cruising at 120 km/h on the highway. This efficiency is attributed to its hybrid system—the engine consistently operates in the high-efficiency zone, with electric drive sharing the load, though wind resistance and road gradients can slightly increase the figures. I recommend regularly checking tire pressure and air filters, as maintaining a steady speed can optimize fuel consumption. Initial tests with a new car showed slightly lower figures, but these may increase slightly as the vehicle ages. Don’t underestimate this fuel efficiency; hybrid technology saves a significant amount on fuel costs during long trips, especially compared to pure gasoline vehicles that often exceed 8 liters. The design of the Qin DM-i is truly smart. For daily long-distance driving with cruise control, my personal tests showed stable fuel consumption around 5.5 liters, depending on load and weather conditions—windy conditions might increase it by 0.3 liters. Overall, the engineers have optimized it well, and owner feedback has been generally positive.
