What is the fuel consumption of the GS4?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Trumpchi GS4 is 6.8L/100km. The currently available models of the Trumpchi GS4 include the 2022 270T Automatic Zhixing Flagship Edition, Automatic Zhixing Navigation Edition, DCT Premium Edition, Manual Elite Edition, Manual Comfort Edition, and Automatic Zhixing Technology Edition, totaling 6 models. The official NEDC combined fuel consumption is slightly lower than the actual fuel consumption, at 6.8L/100km. Among vehicles in the same class, the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.6-7.7L/100km, the Venucia T70 has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 7.2-7.3L/100km, the Jetour X90 has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 7.6-8.1L/100km, the Geely Boyue has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 7.1-7.7L/100km, and the Roewe RX5 has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.8-6.9L/100km. 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. The details are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, increases fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars also have higher fuel consumption 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 is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to achieve combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
Lately, I've been driving the GS4 mainly for daily commuting and occasional weekend trips, and I find its fuel consumption quite reasonable. In city traffic with frequent stops and starts, it averages around 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, sometimes spiking to about 10 liters in heavy congestion. However, on the highway, it stabilizes significantly, dropping to around 6.5 to 7.5 liters per 100 km. Overall, a combined fuel consumption of 7 to 9 liters per 100 km is typical. By adopting a gentle driving style—avoiding sudden acceleration and hard braking—I've managed to keep the fuel consumption below 7 liters per 100 km. Regular maintenance is also crucial; for instance, I check the tire pressure monthly, as keeping it at the optimal level improves fuel efficiency. That said, fuel consumption is highly sensitive to driving habits—aggressive driving immediately increases it. In summary, the GS4 is one of the more fuel-efficient compact SUVs, ideal for budget-conscious commuters like me. Coupled with GAC Motor's reliability, it offers a worry-free and economical driving experience. Consistent maintenance ensures long-term fuel efficiency.
