What is the fuel consumption of the Lynk & Co 06?
2 Answers
The combined fuel consumption of the Lynk & Co 06 is 6.6L/100km. Currently, there are four models of the Lynk & Co 06 available for sale: the Shero Pink Special Edition, Type Plus, Jin Pro, and Yao Halo, all with a combined fuel consumption of 6.6L/100km. The above figures are based on the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which represents the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test cycle. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 7.5 to 10.4L/100km. The level of a car's fuel consumption 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 are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle in advance when approaching a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine 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. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Lynk & Co 06 for over half a year now. As an owner, the car's urban commuting fuel consumption generally ranges between 7.2 to 7.8 liters per 100 kilometers, which is quite close to the official WLTC combined fuel consumption figure of around 6.8 liters. I maintain a gentle driving habit and often use the eco mode, which helps reduce highway fuel consumption to about 6.5 liters. Many factors affect this, such as frequent stop-and-go traffic pushing consumption above 8 liters, while using air conditioning or headlights adds roughly 0.5 liters. Driving weekly in city conditions, regular maintenance like oil changes and air filter replacements have been very helpful, and keeping tire pressure at 2.5 bar is crucial. The Lynk & Co 06's 1.5T three-cylinder powertrain has good fuel-saving technology, but aggressive driving significantly increases consumption. Overall, its fuel efficiency is average for its class, making it very reliable for daily use.
