What is the fuel consumption of the new Hongqi HS5?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the new Hongqi HS5 is approximately 10.7 liters per 100 kilometers, which indicates relatively good fuel efficiency for this vehicle. The Hongqi HS5 is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine across all variants, delivering a maximum power of 165 kW and a maximum torque of 340 Nm. Factors affecting fuel consumption are as follows: 1. Rough roads increase fuel consumption: Driving on congested or uneven roads for extended periods in lower gears will inevitably increase fuel consumption. 2. Overloading the trunk raises fuel consumption: Using the trunk as a storage space and filling it with unnecessary items increases the vehicle's weight. It's important to note that vehicle weight is directly proportional to fuel consumption. A 10% reduction in vehicle weight can lead to a corresponding percentage decrease in fuel consumption.
I've been driving the new Hongqi HS5 for two months now, with an average fuel consumption of about 8.5 to 10L per 100 km under combined conditions. In city traffic jams, it might rise to 11L, but on highway cruising, it can drop to around 7L, which is related to driving habits. I usually try to avoid sudden acceleration and braking, and use cruise control more often, so the fuel cost is relatively manageable. The new car's engine has been optimized, making it slightly more fuel-efficient than the old model, but the SUV's weight is considerable, and using air conditioning increases fuel consumption by one or two liters. It's advisable to consider daily road conditions before purchasing; if you drive mostly in the city, budget more for fuel. Regularly checking tire pressure and maintenance can also help save fuel. Overall, the fuel consumption feels reasonable and suitable for family trips.
