What is the fuel consumption of the Haval M6?
3 Answers
The combined fuel consumption of the Haval M6 is 6.9-7.1L/100km. There are currently 7 models of the Haval M6 on sale. The Elite Smart Connect, Luxury Smart Connect, Liu Yan Special Edition, and Premium Smart Connect models have a combined fuel consumption of 6.9L/100km. The manual Liu Yan Special Edition, manual Elite Smart Connect, and manual Luxury Smart Connect models have a combined fuel consumption of 7.1L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test cycle. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 7.2-9.5L/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. Specific factors that can increase a car's 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 displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. 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 is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during a cold start, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Haval M6 for a while now, and the fuel consumption is quite reasonable overall. In city traffic jams, it's about 10 liters per 100 kilometers, while highway cruising can drop to around 8 liters. From my half-year experience, driving habits make a huge difference—sudden acceleration and unnecessary braking can push the consumption above 12 liters. I often exchange fuel-saving tips with friends, like maintaining a steady speed of 60-80 km/h and regularly checking tire pressure at 2.5 bar, which can save you hundreds in fuel costs each month. Also, using the AC in summer slightly increases fuel consumption, but it's better than expected—inefficient AC usage adds at most 1 liter, so timely maintenance of the AC system helps maintain efficiency. Overall, the M6 strikes a good balance among budget SUVs—it's neither too thirsty nor sacrifices daily commuting comfort. I recommend city drivers pay attention to these details to optimize travel expenses.
As a practical car owner, I've noticed that the Haval M6 has a combined fuel consumption of around 9 liters per 100 kilometers. During city peak hours, it can go up to 11 liters, while on suburban highways, it stabilizes at just over 8 liters. The car performs well in everyday use, but if you frequently drive in congested areas, the fuel consumption will noticeably spike. To reduce expenses, I make a habit of planning routes to avoid peak hours and cleaning the air filter monthly to keep the engine running smoothly. From an economic perspective, monthly fuel costs are roughly around a thousand yuan, which isn't overly burdensome but still warrants careful budgeting. In the long run, fuel-efficient cars are more hassle-free compared to SUVs. I've also tried switching to lightweight tires and using fuel additives—the effects are subtle, but consistent use can accumulate benefits over time. I recommend that middle-aged and elderly car buyers test drive various road conditions to get a real feel for fuel consumption, prioritizing safety over speed.
