What is the fuel consumption of the Fit?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Fit is 5.2-5.6L/100km. Currently, there are 6 models of the Fit on sale. The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Trend Start version is 5.2L/100km. The Trend Enjoy version and Trend Run version have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.3L/100km. The Trend Beyond Max version, Trend Beyond version, and Trend Run Pro version have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.6L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 6.5-8.1L/100km. When driving, the following 5 tips can help reduce fuel consumption: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid suddenly pressing the accelerator hard, as this can multiply fuel consumption. Light acceleration, light braking, and early braking: When driving, gently press the accelerator to avoid sudden increases in engine speed and prevent the car from shaking during driving, making the car more fuel-efficient. By anticipating road conditions and adopting slow and uniform acceleration or braking, fuel economy can be increased by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep the tire pressure at the level recommended by the manufacturer. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (equivalent to about 0.2 in metric units relative to the standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular maintenance or inspection of the vehicle: Regular oil changes can reduce carbon deposits (carbon deposits can cause ignition issues, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, even cylinder misfires). Regularly check and replace the air filter when dirty, and clean or replace the fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle body as per the mileage. Close the windows while driving. Driving with windows open increases wind resistance. The greater the wind resistance, the more resistance the car encounters, requiring more power and thus increasing fuel consumption.
Driving the Fit these years, I've found the fuel consumption quite impressive. The official data shows around 5 to 6 liters per 100 kilometers. For daily commutes like picking up the kids and driving in the city with lots of traffic lights and air conditioning on, it's usually around 6.5 liters. If I drive steadily on the highway, I've managed to get it as low as 4.9 liters. Keeping the tire pressure from being too low and clearing out unnecessary items from the trunk can help achieve better fuel efficiency. The other day, I tried my friend's new hybrid version, and in stop-and-go traffic, it was less than 5 liters. If they release a hybrid version in the future, it's likely to be even more fuel-efficient.
