What is the fuel consumption of the Elysee?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the Elysee is 7.8 liters per 100 kilometers. In terms of space, the Elysee features a longer wheelbase of 2652mm and an oversized knee room of 787mm. Its wider body of 1748mm provides ample lateral space, excellent body stability, and a solid foundation for handling. In terms of power, the new EC5 1.6L CVVT efficient engine delivers a maximum power of up to 86kW/6000rpm, offering strong performance while significantly reducing fuel consumption. The application of numerous advanced technologies ensures excellent power performance, fuel economy, smoothness, and reliability. Inheriting Citroen's globally renowned chassis tuning technology, the new Elysee combines reliable handling with comfortable driving. The asymmetric suspension, designed to mimic the human walking frequency (1Hz), provides consumers with superior driving experiences, including stable handling, minimal body roll during cornering, and high comfort. It also endows the new Elysee with adaptability to all speeds and terrains.
I drive an older 1.6L manual transmission Elysee. In summer with AC on, it consumes around 8.5L/100km in city driving, but drops to just over 6L on highways. The engine technology is indeed a bit outdated, but it's reliable and durable. With a 53L fuel tank, it can easily cover 600+ kilometers on a full tank. However, fuel consumption really depends on driving habits - my neighbor with the same model always complains about 9L/100km+, but I later found out he's always stomping on the gas and braking hard. I'd recommend installing a fuel tracking app like Xiong Xiong for accurate measurements - road conditions alone can make a 2L difference.
