What is the fuel consumption of the Lavida 1.5?

[Gayle]

The manual transmission model has a fuel consumption of approximately 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers, while the automatic transmission model consumes about 7.0 liters per 100 kilometers. Here are three methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Control your speed: The most fuel-efficient speed is when the car is in direct drive or overdrive. Driving at different speeds on the same road results in different fuel consumption, so it's best to drive at a moderate speed in direct drive or high gear to save fuel. 2. Gear selection: The choice of gear and shifting actions significantly impact fuel consumption. When starting, select the appropriate gear based on the load and road conditions. If you feel a lack of power while driving, downshift promptly instead of just pressing the accelerator, as excessive throttle use increases fuel consumption. 3. Engine temperature: The engine's temperature directly affects fuel efficiency. Both excessively high and low temperatures lead to increased fuel consumption. The engine's operating water temperature should be maintained between 80°C and 90°C. In cold conditions, preheat the engine before starting, as warming up the engine helps save fuel.

After driving the Lavida 1.5 for a year, the fuel consumption is higher in city commuting, averaging around 7.5 liters, especially reaching 8 liters in traffic jams; on long highway trips, it can drop to just over 5 liters; overall, it's quite fuel-efficient at just over 6 liters. Driving habits make a big difference—sudden acceleration or braking consumes more fuel, while driving gently can easily save half a liter. Turning on the AC increases consumption by 0.5 to 1 liter, but it's much better than older models. The small fuel tank means less frequent refueling, so my weekly fuel expenses aren’t high. Tire pressure and regular maintenance are also crucial—low pressure quickly raises fuel consumption, so I check it monthly. Overall, this car is worry-free and cost-effective, keeping daily commuting expenses under control.
