What is the fuel consumption of the new Bora?

According to the test by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the comprehensive fuel consumption of the new Bora 1.6L is around 6.8 to 7.2, while the 1.4T model is around 6.6. Introduction to fuel consumption: Fuel consumption (Constant-Speed Fuel Economy): Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator when a car is driving at a constant speed on a good road surface. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for cars on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. Comprehensive fuel consumption: Comprehensive fuel consumption is tested under different conditions such as urban roads, highways, and varying loads. It is only a reference, and the actual fuel consumption may be higher or lower than this number. For example, driving daily in busy city areas, frequently braking and accelerating, can lead to higher fuel consumption, even reaching 10 liters per 100 kilometers, which is quite normal.
I've been driving the new Bora to commute for almost a year now. The fuel consumption is generally around 7 liters per 100 kilometers in the city, and it can drop to 6 liters on the highway, which is quite fuel-efficient. If you drive smoothly, avoid sudden braking and acceleration, you can save up to 6.5 liters; in traffic jams, it might go up to 8 liters. My friend also bought this model, and after the break-in period, the fuel consumption stabilized, unlike some cars that become less fuel-efficient over time. The Bora's engine design focuses on efficiency, and it runs well on 92-octane fuel, no need for higher grades. For commuters, this means significant savings on monthly fuel costs, especially with the current surge in fuel prices. Seasonal effects should be noted: using air conditioning in summer slightly increases fuel consumption, and engine warm-up in winter also consumes a bit more fuel. I regularly check tire pressure and engine oil, and proper maintenance can optimize performance. Overall, the Bora's fuel consumption is reasonable and worry-free, making it suitable for city driving.
As a homemaker, our family uses the new Bora to take the kids to school and go grocery shopping on weekends. The fuel consumption is really considerate. The official combined fuel consumption is 6 liters per 100 kilometers. I can keep it around 7 liters in the city and it drops to about 5.8 liters on the highway. When we go on family trips to the suburbs, even with the air conditioning on the whole way, it's only 6.5 liters. Refueling twice a month is basically enough, and the money saved on gas is enough to buy more fruits. The car has a large 60-liter fuel tank, making it no problem to travel 700-800 kilometers on long trips without frequent refueling, which is very convenient. There are quite a few factors that affect fuel consumption; it's slightly higher in poor road conditions, but driving slower helps. I recommend regularly cleaning out the trunk to reduce weight and avoid carrying heavy loads in the summer. The Bora has a spacious trunk, and even after loading it with the kids' toys, the fuel consumption doesn't change much. It's an economical and practical choice for a family of three.
