What is the fuel consumption of the manual version of the Boyue?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the manual version of the Boyue is 7.1L/100km. The above is the 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, around 8.3L. When driving, the following 5 tips can help reduce fuel consumption: During the starting process, the vehicle should start in a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid suddenly pressing the accelerator hard, as this will multiply fuel consumption. Light acceleration, light braking, early braking: When driving, gently press the accelerator to avoid a sudden increase in engine speed and prevent the car from shaking during driving, making the car more fuel-efficient. By estimating road conditions and adopting slow and uniform acceleration or braking, fuel economy can be increased by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep the tire pressure at the level recommended by the manufacturer. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (equivalent to about 0.2 in metric units relative to the standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular vehicle maintenance or inspection: Timely oil changes can reduce carbon deposits (carbon deposits can cause poor ignition, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, even cylinder misfires); regularly check and replace the air filter if dirty, and clean or replace the fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle body as per mileage. Close the windows while driving. Driving with windows open increases wind resistance. The greater the wind resistance, the more resistance the car encounters, requiring more power and thus increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving a manual transmission Boyue for two years, and the actual fuel consumption definitely differs from the official data. With the 1.8T engine paired with a 6MT transmission, it typically consumes 9-11 liters per 100km in city traffic with air conditioning on and frequent stops. On suburban expressways, it can drop to around 7.5 liters. The most fuel-efficient speed is maintaining a steady 70km/h, where I've achieved as low as 6.8L. I recommend avoiding aggressive throttle inputs, keeping the shift RPM below 2000 for manual transmissions, and regularly cleaning carbon deposits to help with fuel efficiency. Also, check tire pressure frequently—2.4 bar when cold is ideal in summer. My long-term fuel records show spending about 1100 yuan per month for 1500 kilometers driven, which you can use as a budget reference.
