What is the fuel consumption of the Enclave Plus?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Enclave Plus ranges from 7.4 to 7.8L. Neglecting engine maintenance leads to higher fuel consumption: Abnormalities in the engine ignition system significantly impact fuel consumption. Issues such as inaccurate ignition timing, leaking high-voltage wires, or weak ignition due to spark plug carbon buildup can reduce engine combustion efficiency and increase fuel consumption. Additionally, poorly maintained engines can see a 10% to 20% increase in fuel consumption, which is considered normal. Using the trunk as storage increases fuel consumption: There is a direct correlation between vehicle weight and fuel consumption. It is said that for every 10% reduction in vehicle weight, fuel consumption decreases by a corresponding percentage.
I've been driving the Enclave Plus for almost a year now, mainly commuting in the city with an average fuel consumption of 9-10 liters per 100 kilometers. In heavy traffic, it can rise to over 12 liters. On the highway, driving at 80-100 kilometers per hour is more fuel-efficient, dropping to 7-8 liters. The car has strong power and quick acceleration, but as an SUV, its heavier body naturally leads to higher fuel consumption. Compared to my friend's Honda CR-V, it's slightly higher, but in return, it offers a more comfortable ride. Driving habits have a significant impact—I've noticed that sudden acceleration causes an instant spike in fuel consumption, while smooth driving can save 1-2 liters. Running the AC in summer adds 0.5-1 liter, and the heater in winter also slightly increases consumption. Overall, it's acceptable for daily use. Driving 1,500 kilometers a month costs around 1,000 yuan in fuel, which isn't too expensive but still worth noting for energy efficiency.
