What is the fuel consumption of the Chery E5?
2 Answers
The official combined fuel consumption of the Chery E5 is 6.3-8.6L/100km. Here are the details about fuel consumption: Methods for calculating fuel consumption: There are two methods to calculate a vehicle's fuel consumption. The first method involves resetting the mileage data on the vehicle's dashboard, after which the onboard computer automatically calculates the fuel consumption based on the recorded mileage and fuel consumption data. The second method involves measuring the amount of fuel added in one refill, recording the distance traveled, and then calculating the vehicle's fuel consumption. Both methods provide the average fuel consumption of the vehicle. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Lack of regular maintenance: Dirty engine oil and air filters can lead to increased fuel consumption. It is important to clean the engine oil and air filters promptly and replace the air filter when necessary. Insufficient tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases fuel consumption, and severely worn tires, which often show signs of slipping, also contribute to higher fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Chery E5 for several years, with fuel consumption generally fluctuating between 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers. In city traffic jams, it can exceed 8 liters, while on highways it stabilizes around 6.5 liters. When the car was new, the combined fuel consumption was 7.2 liters, but after several years of inadequate maintenance, it slightly increased to 7.8 liters. Driving habits are crucial—I once tried gentle acceleration and less braking, which brought the consumption down to below 7 liters. When refueling, record the mileage to calculate fuel consumption rather than relying entirely on the displayed values. The vehicle's age has a significant impact; older engine models tend to consume slightly more fuel. Regularly checking tire pressure and air filters can help save some fuel costs. Overall, this is an economical car suitable for daily commuting.
