What is the fuel consumption of the BYD Song Max 7-seater?

[McArya]

Song Max's actual fuel consumption fluctuates between 7.6L to 9L per 100km due to various factors. Fuel consumption introduction: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel a vehicle consumes when driving at a certain speed for 100 kilometers on the road, which is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. Currently, microcars have relatively low fuel consumption, ranging from 4 to 5 liters per 100 kilometers, while other vehicle models with consumption below 15 liters are considered relatively low. Influencing factors: There are many factors that affect a car's fuel consumption, such as driving habits, road conditions, vehicle load, etc. Different car models also have an impact, and even for the same model, fuel consumption may vary. Therefore, the actual fuel consumption of a car is not fixed.

Having driven the Song MAX 7-seater version for two years as a daily commuter, the fuel consumption during peak urban hours is indeed on the higher side, typically hovering between 9.5-10.5 liters. It becomes particularly noticeable with the air conditioning on full blast in summer, with the dashboard's instant fuel consumption often spiking above 13 liters. However, it's much more economical on weekend highway trips, with cruise control set at 100 km/h consuming just over 7 liters, and the most fuel-efficient trip recording 6.8 liters. Equipped with a 1.5T engine and automatic transmission, the car feels underpowered when fully loaded with seven people climbing hills, requiring more throttle input. It's advisable to install a fuel tracking app like Xiaoxiong Fuel Consumption to monitor it yourself. With a 53-liter fuel tank, refueling when the light comes on typically allows for about 450 kilometers of city driving.

Using this car to pick up and drop off kids for three years, the most practical experience is: don't just rely on official data. The dashboard shows a combined fuel consumption of 8.2L, but in reality, my own calculations show around 9L per trip. During the cold winter months, it's even more exaggerated – after picking up the kids and turning on the seat heaters, a single 5-kilometer trip can consume up to 14L. However, long-distance driving is surprisingly good. Last time I took the kids to the beach with the trunk fully loaded and the AC on the whole way, the display showed only 7.3L. During maintenance, the mechanic said keeping tire pressure at 2.6 is the most fuel-efficient, and below 2.3 can cost an extra 0.8L per 100 kilometers.

Fuel consumption test from last month: Filled up with 92-octane gasoline and drove on the highway with four adults + luggage, air conditioning set at 24°C. Cruising at 120km/h consumed 8.1L, which stabilized at 7L after reducing speed to 100km/h. The city test was more revealing: a 15km morning rush-hour commute showed 11.2L on the display. Note that ECO mode offers limited fuel savings, but the start-stop function does save about 0.2L/hour when waiting at red lights. The remaining range after the fuel warning light comes on is approximately 80km.
