What is the fuel consumption of the Geely Vision S1?
2 Answers
The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine of the Vision S1 has a fuel consumption of 5.7 liters per 100 kilometers. The following is a related introduction to the fuel consumption of the Vision S1: 1. The Vision S1 has not been on the market for long, and many are still in the break-in period for new cars. It is not very rigorous to discuss actual fuel consumption at this stage. However, based on the data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and comparing it with the actual fuel consumption values reported by some netizens, the final actual fuel consumption is about 2-3L higher than the official test results. 2. The Vision S1 is equipped with two engine combinations: a 1.4T CVT and a 1.5L 5MT. Among them, the 1.4T turbocharged engine with the code name JLB-4G14T is a new product independently developed by Geely and was awarded the "China Heart" Top Ten Engines. Competing in the same field as Geely were mainstream joint-venture brands such as FAW-Volkswagen, FAW-Toyota, and Changan Ford. However, Geely's 1.4T engine successfully made it into the annual top ten list, demonstrating its remarkable strength. Paired with a CVT transmission, it not only ensures smooth driving but also maintains good fuel economy. 3. A car's fuel consumption is not only related to its powertrain matching but also depends on the driver's habits, road conditions, vehicle load, tire pressure, and aerodynamic drag, among other factors. Considering the consumer market, the fuel consumption figures released by car manufacturers for new vehicles are often lower than the actual values. The conditions under which fuel consumption is tested differ from real-world scenarios, so while the final fuel consumption data is not falsified, it is the result of optimization under many specific conditions.
For those who've driven this car, let's chat. My daily commute plus weekend family trips give some real-world fuel consumption figures for reference. The Geely Vision S1 with the 1.5L engine and manual transmission can hit around 8.5L/100km in city traffic jams, while highway driving can drop as low as 5.9L, averaging just over 7L overall. The CVT automatic version is thirstier - over 9L in urban areas and about 7L in suburbs, so be mentally prepared. On a recent long trip with AC on and three passengers, I calculated 7.2L/100km which is quite honest. But with only a 40L fuel tank, it's safest to refuel when the warning light comes on - good for 500+ km range. Pro tip from veteran drivers: avoid hard acceleration and keep RPM below 2500 to save significant fuel.
