The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Lingpai is 4.0-5.0L/100km. Currently, there are 10 models of the Lingpai on sale. The CVT Comfort Edition and CVT Luxury Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.9L/100km. The CVT Edition, CVT Phantom Night Edition, and CVT Flagship Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.0L/100km. The Hybrid Comfort Edition, Hybrid Luxury Edition, Hybrid Flagship Edition, Hybrid Smart Edition, and Hybrid Phantom Night Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.0L/100km. The above figures are NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 5.2-7.5L/100km. Specific factors affecting car fuel consumption are as follows: Car weight: Larger and heavier cars consume more fuel. Generally, a small family car with a 1.6L engine weighs about 1.2 tons and consumes about 7.5 liters of fuel (calculated under full load), while an SUV weighing about 1.5 tons consumes about 8.5 liters. Different weights result in different fuel consumption. Wind resistance: Higher wind resistance increases fuel consumption during driving. Cars with better aerodynamics have lower wind resistance, leading to lower fuel consumption. Economical RPM: The engine has a most economical torque output point during driving. Maintaining the car's speed within this torque output point significantly reduces fuel consumption. Generally, small-displacement cars achieve this at about 70 km/h, while larger-displacement cars achieve it at about 100 km/h. Keeping within this economical RPM range ensures minimal fuel consumption. Driving style: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, increases fuel consumption.

















I drive a 2019 Lingpai with a 1.0T three-cylinder engine, and I've been driving it for almost three years. The actual fuel consumption is around 6.3L per 100 kilometers. In city traffic during rush hour, it can spike to 7.2L, but it's very fuel-efficient on the highway—with the AC on, the lowest I've gotten is 4.9L. Last time I took a family road trip, the trunk was packed with luggage, and driving on national roads with the AC on the whole time, it only consumed 5.8L. The best part about this car is its large fuel tank—a full 47-liter tank can take me over 700 kilometers, even outperforming my colleague's Corolla. However, you need to pay attention to tire pressure—once when my tire pressure was low, the fuel consumption increased by 0.8L.

In our car owners' group with over 200 members discussing fuel consumption, hybrid versions generally range between 4.5-5.2L, while pure gasoline versions with AC on in summer typically fluctuate between 5.8-7L. Last week, I specifically tested the ECO mode effect - using the green leaf symbol mode in urban areas saves 0.6L per 100km compared to normal mode. It's worth noting the carbon deposit issue; some owners using 92-octane fuel long-term experienced over 1L increased consumption after 30,000km. The new engines with direct injection technology do show lower fuel consumption than our older models.

When picking up the car, the 4S dealership mentioned the theoretical fuel consumption is 5.5L, and it turned out to be quite accurate in real use. My 2020 Sharp Hybrid averages just over 5L for city commuting. The most fuel-efficient trip was driving from Hangzhou to Ningbo at a constant speed of 80 km/h, achieving a consumption of only 4.2L. The 60-liter fuel tank costs less than 400 yuan to fill up, which lasts me two weeks of commuting. However, using the heater in winter increases fuel consumption by about 0.5L. I recommend avoiding idling to warm up the car as it wastes fuel; warming up while driving is more economical.

I've been using the Lingpai as a Didi ride-hailing car for three years, with urban fuel consumption consistently around 6.5L. The morning rush hour is the most fuel-intensive period due to frequent engine start-stop cycles and average speeds below 20 km/h, showing up to 7.8L on the dashboard. The most fuel-efficient scenario is weekend airport transfers via elevated highways at a steady 80 km/h, maintaining 5.2L consumption. I recommend installing a tire pressure monitor to maintain 2.5 bar pressure and cleaning the air filter monthly – these two practices can reduce fuel consumption by approximately 0.6L. Also, using 0W-20 engine oil instead of 5W-30 can save 200-300 RMB in annual fuel costs.

My colleagues always said Japanese cars are fuel-efficient, so I chose the Lingpai, the 2019 Comfort version, which has run 50,000 kilometers. One characteristic of this car is that the throttle response is overly sensitive. When I first drove it, I often pressed the accelerator too hard, and the fuel consumption once surged to 7L. Later, I learned to anticipate traffic lights, reducing sudden braking and acceleration, and now it stabilizes at 5.9L. After installing rain visors, the wind noise on the highway increased slightly, but the fuel consumption remained unchanged. The most surprising thing is that the load has little impact. Last time, I used the car to move ten boxes of books, and the fuel consumption only increased by 0.3L. I’ve been using the Xiaoxiong Fuel Consumption app to track long-term data, and the average fuel cost over three years is 42 cents per kilometer.
