What is the fuel consumption of the Kia Pegas?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Kia Pegas is 5.7L/100km. There are currently 2 models of the Kia Pegas on sale: the Elite Connect Edition and the Comfort Sunroof Edition, both with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.7L/100km. The above figures are based on the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the data measured under the NEDC test procedure for combined driving conditions. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging between 5.7-6.0L/100km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly influenced by 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 behaviors 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 output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars also consume more fuel due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved 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 cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer may control higher RPMs to warm up the engine, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've driven my Kia Pegas over 10,000 kilometers, mainly for daily commuting, and I must say the fuel consumption is quite impressive. In city driving with frequent traffic lights, the automatic transmission shows around 6.5 to 7 liters per 100 km, and it can go up to 7.5 liters in heavy traffic. Highway driving is particularly fuel-efficient, with cruise control at 100 km/h maintaining a steady 5.3 liters. I recommend keeping the tire pressure around 2.4 bar, avoiding aggressive acceleration, and trying to bypass congested routes during rush hours. Also, avoid overloading the trunk and clean the throttle body regularly, as these practices help reduce fuel consumption. Although fuel prices have risen sharply this month, my Pegas only costs about 800 yuan per month in fuel, which is quite manageable for a salaried worker's commute—making it a great choice.
