What is the fuel consumption of the Hongqi HS5?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Hongqi HS5 is 7.7-8.2L/100km. Currently, there are 7 models of the Hongqi HS5 on sale. The ZhiLian QiLing, ZhiLian QiYue, ZhiLian QiXiang, and ZhiLian QiXiang LeGou versions have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.7L/100km. The ZhiLian QiXiang 4WD, ZhiLian QiLing 4WD, and ZhiLian QiXiang 4WD LeGou versions have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 8.2L/100km. The above figures are 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 8.5-9.8L/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 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 higher 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 is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during a cold start, requiring more gasoline to burn, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Hongqi HS5 for several years, and the average fuel consumption is around 9 to 11 liters per 100 kilometers. In city traffic jams, it easily reaches around 12 liters, while highway cruising drops it to 8 to 9 liters. This car uses a 2.0T engine, which offers strong power but isn't the most fuel-efficient type. For someone like me who drives gently, keeping it at 9.5 liters is no problem, but if I turn on the air conditioning or drive fully loaded uphill, the fuel consumption shoots up. The Hongqi HS5 is a midsize SUV, and its heavy body combined with the four-wheel-drive version might consume a bit more. I recommend gentle acceleration, avoiding sudden braking, and regularly changing the air filter to help reduce fuel consumption.
