What is the fuel consumption of the Kia Soul?
1 Answers
The 2010 Kia Soul has a total of 7 models: Among them, the Soul 2010 1.6L MT GL and Soul 2010 1.6L MT GLS models equipped with a 123-horsepower engine have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.6L per 100km. The Soul 2010 1.6L AT Premium, Soul 2010 1.6L AT GLS, and Soul 2010 1.6L AT GL models equipped with a 123-horsepower engine have an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.4L per 100km. The Soul 2010 2.0L AT Premium model equipped with a 142-horsepower engine has an NEDC fuel consumption of 8.1L per 100km. The Soul 2010 2.0L MT GLS model equipped with a 142-horsepower engine has an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.9L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of different Kia Soul models is the same. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For the 1.6L MT models equipped with a 123-horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 48L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 48/6.6*100=727km. For the 1.6L AT models equipped with a 123-horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 48L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 48/7.4*100=648km. For the 2.0L AT Premium model equipped with a 142-horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 48L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 48/8.1*100=571km. For the 2.0L MT GLS model equipped with a 142-horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 48L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 48/7.9*100=607km. 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 gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer controls higher RPMs to warm up the car, which also increases fuel consumption.
