I've been driving the Emgrand for over a year now, and its fuel consumption has been quite stable. For city commuting, it averages around 8L/100km, but during peak traffic jams, it can rise above 9L. However, on highways, it's very fuel-efficient, usually staying around 5.5L. My driving habit is gentle acceleration, avoiding sudden acceleration and braking, which helps maintain an average of 7.5L. The lightweight body also helps a lot, though wind resistance has a noticeable impact. Using air conditioning in summer or warming up the engine during cold starts might increase fuel consumption by 0.5-1L. Regular checks on spark plugs and tire pressure are crucial—I keep the tire pressure within the recommended range, saving hundreds of yuan on fuel annually. Overall, the Emgrand offers good fuel economy, making it suitable for daily commuting with minimal maintenance pressure.

The fuel consumption of the Emgrand is influenced by many technical factors. There are significant differences between different displacement and transmission versions: the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine consumes 7-9L/100km in urban areas, with automatic transmissions slightly higher than manual ones. Newer vehicles are more fuel-efficient, as engine tuning optimizes fuel efficiency, but consumption increases during cold starts in winter or when using air conditioning. Road conditions are also crucial; frequent stops at traffic lights raise consumption, while steady highway driving can reduce it to around 5L. I recommend using original engine oil to keep the engine running smoothly and avoid modifications that increase load. Overall, it is a fuel-efficient choice, with official data ranging between 6-8L, and actual driving can be fine-tuned based on habits. Do not overlook the impact of poor fuel quality; using lower-grade gasoline can make fuel consumption unstable.

The Emgrand's average fuel consumption of 7.5L/100km has saved me a lot of expenses. It's slightly higher in city driving, but very efficient on highways and suburban roads. With economical driving settings, my monthly fuel cost is around 600 yuan, which is more cost-effective than similar-class vehicles. In terms of driving techniques, I've learned to leave early to avoid peak hours, use air conditioning less and open windows for ventilation, and accelerate smoothly while reducing braking. Maintaining proper tire pressure and timely engine maintenance can further reduce fuel consumption by 0.5L. I've developed a habit of recording and tracking fuel consumption changes monthly using an app to avoid abnormal fluctuations. The Emgrand's lightweight body makes it easy for beginners to handle, and proper maintenance ensures long-term savings.
