What is the fuel consumption of the Langdong?
4 Answers
There are a total of 20 models of the Langdong. Among them, the Langdong 2016 1.6L Automatic Premium and Automatic Smart models, equipped with a 128 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.2L per 100km. The Langdong 2015 1.8L Automatic Premium and Langdong 2012 1.8L Automatic Premium models, equipped with a 146 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 7L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of all Langdong models is 50L. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models with the 128 horsepower engine can cover a distance of 50/6.2*100=806km. Models with the 146 horsepower engine can cover a distance of 50/7*100=714km. 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 include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption.
I've been driving a 2015 Hyundai Elantra 1.6L automatic for three years, with city commuting fuel consumption generally between 8-9L/100km. During rush hour traffic jams, it can spike to over 10L. On highways, it's quite fuel-efficient - even with cruise control and AC on, it's just over 6L/100km. The most extreme case was a long-distance trip fully loaded with five people and luggage, where actual measured fuel consumption was only 5.8L/100km. For daily driving, I recommend avoiding full-throttle starts - fuel consumption noticeably increases when RPM exceeds 3000. Remember to check tire pressure monthly; last time when pressure was low, fuel consumption inexplicably increased by 0.5L. AC significantly affects fuel economy - using AC in summer consumes nearly 1L more fuel than in spring/autumn seasons.
The fuel consumption of the Langdong mainly depends on three key factors: engine displacement, transmission type, and driving conditions. The 1.6L manual transmission model has a MIIT-rated fuel consumption of 6.6L, but in real-world driving, it typically ranges between 7-8L. Automatic transmission models generally consume 0.5-1L more. The 1.8L version performs better on highways but is less fuel-efficient in urban areas. Based on my tests under various conditions, the fuel consumption is most ideal in the first year of a new car. After five years, aging spark plugs may lead to a 10% increase in fuel consumption. Driving in the rain increases resistance, resulting in about 0.3L higher fuel consumption on highways compared to sunny days. Regularly replacing the air filter is crucial; a friend who didn't change the filter for two years saw a direct increase of over 1L in fuel consumption.
From an economical perspective, the Elantra ranks as average among compact cars. The 1.6L automatic transmission model consumes about 8L/100km in mixed driving conditions, which is 0.5L more than the Corolla but 0.8L less than the Focus. For urban commuting covering 1,000km per month, the cost of 92-octane gasoline would be approximately 650 yuan. There's a noticeable difference in fuel consumption between winter and summer. Last January, with the heater on, consumption reached 9.2L/100km, while in May without air conditioning, it was only 7.4L/100km. Avoid overloading the trunk with heavy items, as every additional 50kg increases fuel consumption by 0.3L/100km.
