What is the fuel consumption of the Citroen C-Quatre 1.6 automatic transmission?
4 Answers
There are a total of 5 models of the Citroen C-Quatre 1.6L. Among them, the 2016 Classic Sedan 1.6L manual CNG model, equipped with a 106 horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 7L per 100 kilometers. The other 4 models, including the 2016 Classic Sedan 1.6L manual Pin Shang and the 2016 Classic Sedan 1.6L automatic Pin Shang, are equipped with a 117 horsepower engine and have an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.3L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity varies among different models of the Citroen C-Quatre 1.6L. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with the 106 horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 60L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 60/7*100=857KM. For models equipped with the 117 horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 60L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 60/7.3*100=822KM. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before encountering a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Citroen C-Quatre 1.6 automatic for several years as my main commuter car in the city, and the fuel consumption is indeed quite unpredictable. During rush hour traffic in urban areas, it averages around 9 to 11 liters per 100 kilometers, which is significantly higher than on highways. On the highway, if I drive steadily, the fuel consumption can drop to 6 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers, making it quite economical. I believe driving habits are key—aggressive acceleration and sudden braking can easily cause fuel consumption to spike. Regularly checking tire pressure and engine condition can help save some fuel. Additionally, a heavier load in the car also consumes more fuel, so I usually clean out unnecessary items from the trunk to keep the car lightweight. Overall, the combined fuel consumption of this car is around 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, which is average for its class, but it depends on your driving environment and methods. I recommend using an app to track fuel gauge data for more accurate long-term monitoring.
As someone who frequently takes long-distance trips in a Citroen C4 1.6 automatic, I've gained considerable insight into its fuel consumption. During highway cruising at a steady speed of 80-100 km/h, the fuel efficiency can be maintained between 6 to 7 liters per 100 kilometers, which is quite reassuring. However, once entering congested urban areas, the consumption immediately spikes to around 10 liters per 100 kilometers, showing a significant difference. Driving style plays a crucial role; gentle acceleration and anticipating road conditions can reduce fuel consumption by about 10%. I also pay attention to the car's condition, as a dirty air filter or worn spark plugs can hinder performance. Annual maintenance checks help optimize efficiency. On average, the car consumes around 8 liters per 100 kilometers, which isn't outstanding but acceptable considering the reliability of the 1.6 engine. A fuel-saving tip is to use the air conditioning moderately, avoiding keeping it on all the time, especially using the recirculation mode in summer to save some fuel.
When driving this car, the fuel consumption is roughly as follows: average 9-10 liters per 100 km in city commuting, and it can drop to 6-7 liters on highways. The main influencing factors are frequent starts and stop-and-go traffic conditions. Maintaining a steady speed is crucial. As the car ages, fuel consumption may slightly increase, so regular oil changes are necessary. Overall, it's around 8 liters per 100 km.
