The official combined fuel consumption of the tenth-generation Civic is 5.4-6L/100km. Here is an introduction to the tenth-generation Civic: 1. Powertrain: The new Civic is the domestic version of Honda's tenth-generation Civic, featuring a more youthful and sporty design. It is equipped with a 1.5T and 1.0T engine, with the 1.5T model being launched first, paired with either a 6-speed manual or CVT transmission. A total of four models are available. 2. Exterior: The new Civic largely retains the design of the overseas model, featuring full LED headlights. The side profile of the car is more daring than the front, with the C-pillar's smooth transition resembling that of a Coupe model. It adopts 'bracket-style' LED taillights, with the light clusters shaped like darts.

I usually drive a Civic for daily commuting, and I'm quite satisfied with its fuel consumption. In urban traffic jams, the fuel consumption is generally between 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, and it's slightly less when traffic is smoother. On highways, it's much more fuel-efficient, usually maintaining 6 to 7 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank of about 50 liters can run over 550 kilometers, which is quite cost-effective. I've found that driving habits have a significant impact—for example, gently pressing the accelerator and braking in advance can reduce fuel consumption by about 5%. Weather and road conditions also play a role; fuel consumption increases slightly when using air conditioning in summer or climbing hills, but overall, it's still more economical than other cars in the same class. Regularly checking tire pressure and maintaining the engine helps keep fuel consumption stable.

I'm quite familiar with the Civic, and there's a significant difference in fuel consumption between different models. The older naturally aspirated engines have higher fuel consumption, possibly around 9 liters per 100 kilometers. The newer 1.5T with a CVT transmission averages about 7.2 liters, which is much more fuel-efficient. The hybrid version is even better, with only around 5 liters in the city, making it super suitable for daily commuting. Honda's technology like i-VTEC optimizes valve opening and closing to reduce waste. When choosing a car, it's essential to check the official test data and driving mode options, as the eco mode can save more fuel. Fuel consumption is even lower on long trips, slightly higher in city traffic jams, but overall balanced and practical.

As a car owner, I care about fuel expenses. The Civic averages about 7 liters per 100 kilometers. At over 10 yuan per liter, driving 100 kilometers costs less than 70 yuan. Driving 10,000 kilometers a year saves thousands in fuel costs compared to an SUV. I recommend choosing a small-displacement turbo or hybrid version—though the initial price is higher, it's more cost-effective in the long run. Regularly changing the engine oil and air filter can help control fuel consumption better. Compared to economy cars, the Civic holds its value well and has lower maintenance costs, making it ideal for budget-conscious buyers.

From a technical perspective, the Civic's fuel efficiency is supported by its high-performance engine. The i-VTEC system adjusts valve timing to ensure complete fuel combustion, while the low-drag design, combined with the CVT transmission, allows the engine to operate efficiently. The 1.5T turbocharged engine consumes slightly more fuel in urban areas, with a combined consumption of around 7 liters. It is advisable to refer to the official MIIT test data and maintain steady speeds during actual driving, avoiding sudden stops and starts. Cold weather preheating also affects consumption, but the overall design is energy-efficient.
