What is the fuel consumption of the Lynk & Co 01?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the Lynk & Co 01 is 9.4L/100km. The following are details about fuel consumption and how to reduce it: 1. Fuel consumption is influenced by road conditions and steady speed. Consumption is higher during the break-in period. In winter, lower temperatures reduce gasoline atomization and combustion efficiency. In summer, using air conditioning increases engine resistance, so fuel consumption is slightly higher in winter and summer compared to spring and autumn. 2. Properly manage the warm-up time or distance in the morning, maintain normal tire pressure, or switch to larger tires. 3. Plan your route to avoid congested roads and frequent lane changes. Do not leave the engine idling for long periods without turning it off or start it frequently. 4. Avoid aggressive acceleration and frequent braking while driving, and use the specified grade of engine oil. 5. Avoid driving at high speeds in low gears or low speeds in high gears. Do not fully open windows in summer or use air conditioning during traffic jams.
I've been driving the Lynk & Co 01 pure gasoline version for over two years. For daily commuting in the city, the fuel consumption is around 9-10 liters per 100 kilometers, and it can go up to 11 liters during peak traffic jams. On the highway, maintaining a steady speed, say 110 km/h, the fuel consumption drops to about 7 liters. Driving habits are crucial—frequent hard acceleration and braking can increase fuel consumption by 15%. Maintenance is also key. I change the engine oil and air filter regularly, every 5,000 kilometers, to keep the engine efficient. Tire pressure is maintained at 32 psi, slightly higher in winter. Fuel consumption rises when using air conditioning or carrying heavy loads; in summer, with AC on, it can go up to over 10 liters. Actually, Lynk & Co now offers a plug-in hybrid version. A friend who uses that model reports much lower fuel consumption—almost no fuel used in city driving with electric power, and around 6 liters for long-distance hybrid driving. I recommend choosing a car based on actual road conditions; hybrids are more economical in congested urban environments.
