What is the fuel consumption of the Kia K5?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Dongfeng Yueda Kia K5 is 9.7L/100km. The following are factors that affect fuel consumption: 1. Engine technology: This is an inherent indicator affecting fuel consumption. From the oldest carburetor to the current direct injection system, various brands are striving to improve the fuel economy of engines. Purely from a technical perspective, direct injection is an excellent technology that significantly improves fuel combustion efficiency, but it places higher demands on the engine's fuel supply system and cylinder materials. 2. Transmission: Here, the transmission refers to the automatic transmission. The engine and transmission form the simplest power output system, so the structure of the transmission also directly affects fuel consumption. In terms of fuel consumption alone, dual-clutch transmissions and CVT continuously variable transmissions are the most fuel-efficient, while torque converter-type transmissions are relatively less fuel-efficient, although this also depends on the number of gears in the torque converter-type transmission.
I usually notice that the Kia K5's fuel consumption is quite reasonable when driving to and from work. With my 2022 model, I average around 9 liters in the city, and it can drop to just over 7 liters on the highway. Overall, it's not very fuel-thirsty but not super economical either. I think the car's fuel consumption is reasonable, and with good maintenance and steady driving—like avoiding sudden acceleration or speeding—you can save quite a bit on fuel. On weekends when I take my family out, the fuel consumption is a bit higher with the air conditioning on, but overall, it's suitable for family use. Compared to my colleagues' other mid-sized cars, the fuel consumption is quite friendly. I recommend trying the eco mode to reduce fuel consumption a bit more.
