What is the fuel consumption of the Focus 1.6?
2 Answers
The Focus 1.6 has 6 models currently on sale. Among them, the 2018 model - Sedan Classic - 1.6L - Automatic Fashion Intelligent Edition, Automatic Comfort Intelligent Edition, Hatchback Classic - 1.6L - Automatic Fashion Intelligent Edition, and Automatic Comfort Intelligent Edition, totaling 4 models equipped with a 125-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.7L per 100km. The 2018 model - Sedan Classic - 1.6L - Manual Fashion Intelligent Edition, Manual Comfort Intelligent Edition, Hatchback Classic - 1.6L - Manual Fashion Intelligent Edition, and Manual Comfort Intelligent Edition, totaling 4 models equipped with a 125-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.4L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of different Focus 1.6 models is the same. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 125-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.7L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 55L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 55/6.7*100=821km. For models equipped with a 125-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.4L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 55L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 55/6.4*100=859km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block temperature is low during cold starts, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer controls higher RPMs to warm up the car, which also increases fuel consumption.
I remember my friend's 2012 Focus 1.6L manual transmission. It consumed about 8.5L/100km in city driving with AC on, and could achieve around 6.8L/100km on highways. However, older cars tend to have higher fuel consumption, especially after carbon buildup becomes significant. Last week, I helped a colleague inspect a used 2015 automatic model - the dashboard showed 9.2L/100km, but actual measurement reached 11L/100km in traffic jams. For fuel-saving tips: the Focus is most economical at 60-80km/h, tire pressure shouldn't be below 2.3 bar, and the trunk should be kept clear of unnecessary items. Although the updated 1.6L engine isn't the latest technology, with proper maintenance it can maintain a combined fuel consumption of 8-9L/100km.
