What is the fuel consumption of the BYD Tang fuel version?
2 Answers
The BYD Tang fuel version has a combined fuel consumption of 10.9 liters per 100 kilometers. This vehicle is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The engine code is BYD487ZQB, with a maximum power of 141 kW and a maximum torque of 320 Nm. The maximum power speed is 5500 rpm, and the maximum torque speed ranges from 1500 to 4000 rpm. Below are the methods to check fuel consumption and factors affecting it: Methods to check fuel consumption: The fuel gauge on the engine displays the fuel level, indicating and monitoring the fuel reserve and consumption in the tank. 'F' stands for full, and 'E' stands for empty. When the fuel warning light turns on, record the mileage, then refuel. When the fuel is next depleted, record the mileage again. Subtract the two mileage readings to get the actual distance traveled, then divide by the fuel consumed to calculate the fuel consumption. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Incorrect driving habits can increase fuel consumption by 2 to 3 times. The most significant impact on fuel consumption comes from poor driving habits, such as rapid acceleration and sudden braking, especially in heavy traffic, at red lights, or during lane changes. Poor road conditions, such as uneven or congested roads, force the vehicle to operate in lower gears for extended periods, inevitably increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving the BYD Tang fuel version for a while now, with a combined fuel consumption of around 11 to 12 liters per 100 kilometers. In congested city traffic, it might jump to 14L, while on flat highway sections, it can drop below 9L. The monthly fuel expenses are quite significant, so I've developed the habit of starting smoothly and avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration to keep fuel consumption within a controllable range. Regularly replacing the engine air filter and engine oil is also crucial, as old filters can increase fuel consumption. Temperature changes affect it too; cold starts in winter result in higher fuel consumption, so I warm up the car for a few minutes beforehand. For long trips, planning the route in advance to avoid peak hours saves both time and fuel. In summary, although the fuel consumption isn't low, optimizing it with some driving techniques makes daily car use more economical.
