What is the fuel consumption of the Kia K3?
1 Answers
The Kia K3 currently has 5 models on sale. Among them, the Kia K3 2021 1.5L CVT Renewal Edition, Modified 1.5L CVT Fashion Edition, and Youth Edition—three models equipped with a 115-horsepower engine—have an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.4L per 100km. The Kia K3 2021 Modified 1.4T DCT GT-Line Smart Drive Sports Edition and Strive Connected Edition—two models equipped with a 130-horsepower engine—have an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.3L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity is the same across different Kia K3 models. The distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 115-horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 53L, and the distance that can be covered on a full tank is 53/5.4*100=981km. For models equipped with a 130-horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 53L, and the distance that can be covered on a full tank is 53/5.3*100=1000km. Automobile fuel consumption is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements typically produce more power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous terrain increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, injected gasoline does not atomize easily during a cold start, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, further increasing fuel consumption.
