What is the fuel consumption of the BYD Song Pro with air conditioning on?
2 Answers
BYD Song Pro fuel consumption with air conditioning on: 10.28L/100km. Below is relevant information about BYD's fuel consumption: BYD Song Pro combined fuel consumption: According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's combined fuel consumption data, the BYD Song Pro's combined fuel consumption is 8.9L/100km. Introduction to the BYD Song Pro: The Song Pro is a compact SUV under BYD, with a wheelbase of 2712 mm, and length, width, and height dimensions of 4650 mm, 1860 mm, and 1700 mm respectively. The Song Pro series all use a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine.
The fuel consumption of the Song Pro does increase when the air conditioning is on, depending on the version. My 1.5L DM-i hybrid version consumes around 5.2-5.8L per 100km in summer traffic with the AC on. Last month on the highway with auto fan at 25°C, it showed 5.1L per 100km, which is not much different from not using the AC. The most fuel-intensive scenario is slow city commuting, where the AC compressor runs continuously, making the engine start-stop more frequent. I always keep the energy flow display on, and you can see the electricity consumption spike when the AC is on, but thankfully the engine replenishes the power in time. It's recommended to set the temperature above 24°C, as auto mode is more fuel-efficient than manual high fan speed. Also, try to avoid using the AC for windshield defogging, as it's a major fuel drain.
