What is the fuel consumption of the Citroen C4L?

[MaggieAnn]

The Citroen C4L has a fuel consumption of 5.6 liters per 100 kilometers. Taking the 2019 manual comfort model of the Citroen C4L as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4675mm, width 1780mm, height 1500mm, wheelbase 2710mm, fuel tank capacity 60 liters, and trunk capacity 435 liters. The 2019 manual comfort model of the Citroen C4L features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 136PS, maximum power of 100kW, and maximum torque of 230Nm.

I've driven the Citroën C4L and found its fuel consumption quite reasonable. My 1.2L turbocharged model averages around 8L/100km in city traffic during my daily commute, but drops to about 6.5L on highways. I usually maintain a steady speed while driving, as sudden acceleration really burns fuel. Once, when I forgot to change the engine oil during maintenance, the consumption spiked to 9L. Overall, it's more fuel-efficient than my colleague's domestic brand car, though not as eco-friendly as hybrid models. If you often drive on rough roads, consumption might be higher. I recommend maintaining proper tire pressure and regularly checking spark plugs to keep fuel consumption stable at around 7L. The difference in monthly fuel costs can be 100-200 yuan, so it's worth paying attention to.

As a car enthusiast, I must say the fuel consumption of the Citroën C4L depends on the engine version. For example, the official data for the 1.2T gasoline version is around 6L, while in actual city driving, 7-7.5L is common. The diesel version is more fuel-efficient but noisier. Many factors affect fuel consumption, such as tire wear and prolonged use of air conditioning, which can increase it. I've tried installing lightweight alloy wheels, which reduced fuel consumption by 0.5L. Compared to competitors, it's slightly more fuel-efficient than Volkswagen's models in the same class but not as economical as Japanese cars. Fuel consumption is more stable when the car is new, but after five or six years, it might increase by 0.5L. Cleaning the throttle body during maintenance helps a lot.

I'm very concerned about fuel consumption's environmental impact. The Citroën C4L averaging over 7L in city driving is somewhat wasteful of resources. I recommend using eco mode, which can reduce fuel consumption by 5%. It's still far behind pure electric or hybrid vehicles. I've seen data showing that 6.5L for daily commuting is considered average, but frequent traffic jams can push it to 8L, worsening emissions. Improvement methods are simple: keeping the car clean to reduce weight or avoiding air conditioning and sunroof use can save fuel. The goal is to travel 10 more kilometers per liter, helping to conserve the planet's resources.
