The fuel consumption of the Lynk & Co 01 is 7.4-7.8L/100KM. The currently available Lynk & Co 01 models include the 2021 2.0TD Front-Wheel Drive Type Pro, 2021 2.0TD Front-Wheel Drive Yao Pro, 2021 2.0TD All-Wheel Drive Jin Halo, and 2021 2.0TD All-Wheel Drive Dark Night Edition. In the same class, the T-ROC Tango 2021 facelift 280TSI DSG Front-Wheel Drive Elite Connect Edition has a combined fuel consumption of 5.9L/100KM; the Mazda CX-4 2021 2.0L Automatic Front-Wheel Drive Blue Sky Youth Edition has a combined fuel consumption of 6.3L/100KM, and the Edge 2020 EcoBoost 245 Front-Wheel Drive Enjoy Edition has a combined fuel consumption of 7.3L/100KM. Factors affecting car fuel consumption: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before encountering a red light, increases fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight also have higher fuel consumption because greater weight requires more driving torque.

I've been driving this Lynk & Co 01 for about half a year now, and the fuel consumption has been quite stable overall. For daily commuting in the city, it can go up to 10 liters per 100 kilometers when stuck in traffic; but once on the highway, it drops significantly to around 6-7 liters. On average, it's about 7.5 to 8 liters. I've tried different driving styles, like when I floor the accelerator, the fuel consumption shoots up, but driving steadily makes a big difference. It's the 1.5T version, which is relatively more fuel-efficient. Keeping up with also helps—changing the air filter noticeably improved efficiency. Compared to other SUVs in the same class, like the Tiguan or CR-V, I find it more economical and practical, just don’t go for oversized rims as the extra friction can affect fuel economy.

While researching this car, I noticed that the Lynk & Co 01's fuel consumption varies significantly by configuration: the 1.5T three-cylinder engine has an NEDC-rated fuel consumption of around 6 liters, with actual road conditions ranging between 7-8 liters; the 2.0T version surges to 9-10 liters in urban scenarios. The powertrain is quite efficient, but driving mode selection has a notable impact - Sport mode causes fuel consumption to spike while ECO mode easily saves fuel. I also discovered a correlation between drag coefficient and tire type, with low-profile tires potentially adding around 0.5 liters due to higher resistance. Additionally, the electronic control system consumes slightly more fuel in cold weather, but preheating can optimize this. Ultimately, driving habits play a major role in fluctuations, making regular tuning quite important.

When choosing a car, I prioritize fuel efficiency. The Lynk & Co 01's fuel consumption data is generally between 7.5 to 8.5 liters per 100 kilometers, which is a decent contribution to environmental protection and outperforms older SUV models in emission reduction. While driving, I actively close windows to reduce air resistance or use the recirculation mode to lower energy consumption. For short trips, I combine public transportation to minimize overall carbon emissions. During , keeping tire pressure at optimal levels and avoiding excessive acceleration helps save fuel and protect the environment. Promoting such habits in the community benefits everyone—small changes can make a big difference.

From a cost-saving perspective, the Lynk & Co 01's average fuel consumption of 7.8 liters per 100km is quite good. At the current fuel price of 8 yuan per liter, driving 10,000 kilometers annually would cost around 6,240 yuan, which is much more fuel-efficient compared to same-size models like the RAV4. During city driving, I avoid peak hours and high-consumption routes; using cruise control on highways saves even more fuel. Be mindful not to overload the trunk or use oversized rims, as these minor factors can also affect fuel consumption by a few percentage points. Regularly checking engine oil and filters is both cost-effective and hassle-free. Cost control is simple and effective.

I think future cars will become increasingly fuel-efficient. For example, the Lynk & Co 01 gasoline version currently averages around 8 liters per 100km, while the EM-P plug-in hybrid version's fuel consumption of just 1-2 liters is quite attractive. Technological advancements like high-efficiency turbochargers are making gasoline cars more economical, but driving habits also need to adapt, such as avoiding sudden braking and acceleration. The new advanced driver-assistance systems in modern vehicles optimize fuel efficiency. In the long run, the popularity of electric vehicles might eliminate this issue altogether. Currently, choosing such vehicles offers a practical combination of economic benefits and environmental consciousness, making it quite convenient.
