What is the fuel consumption of the Levin?
2 Answers
The combined fuel consumption of the Levin is 5.9L/100km. Currently, there are 2 models of the Levin on sale: the Premium Edition and the Luxury Edition, both with a combined fuel consumption of 5.9L/100km. The above figures are based on the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is measured under the NEDC test cycle. The actual fuel consumption is higher, ranging from 7.0-7.5L/100km. Here are 5 tips to help reduce fuel consumption while driving: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid sudden acceleration, as this can significantly increase fuel consumption. Light acceleration and braking, early braking: While driving, gently press the accelerator to avoid sudden increases in engine RPM and prevent the car from shaking, which helps save fuel. By anticipating road conditions and applying slow, even acceleration or braking, fuel economy can be improved by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep tire pressure at the level recommended by the manufacturer. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (approximately 0.2 in metric units, relative to a standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular maintenance or vehicle checks: Timely oil changes can reduce carbon buildup (which can cause poor ignition, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and even engine misfires in severe cases). Regularly check and replace the air filter when dirty, and clean or replace the fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle body as per the recommended mileage. Close the windows while driving. Open windows increase wind resistance, which in turn increases the resistance the car faces, requiring more power and thus increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Levin GT for over half a year now, and as a regular commuter, I have some authority to speak about its fuel consumption. My car is the 2.0L automatic version, mostly driven in urban areas with mixed traffic conditions—sometimes congested, sometimes smooth. On average, the combined fuel consumption is around 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers. On pure highway cruising, it can drop to about 5.8 liters, but in city traffic jams, it might rise above 7 liters. The trick to saving fuel is to press the accelerator lightly and maintain a steady speed—I've tried this a few times and managed to save some money on gas. Overall, the Levin GT's fuel efficiency is quite economical, significantly better than other cars in its class. Over time, this translates to saving several hundred yuan per month on expenses, making it ideal for someone like me who values cost-effectiveness. For maintenance, I take it to the 4S shop every six months for a check-up to ensure the engine is well-lubricated, which also helps with fuel efficiency.
