What is the fuel consumption of the Nissan Tiida with air conditioning on?
2 Answers
The combined fuel consumption of the Nissan Tiida is 5.3-6.0L/100km. There are currently 4 models of the Nissan Tiida on sale. The manual LeDong version has a combined fuel consumption of 6.0L/100km. The CVT ZhiXing, CVT KuDong, and CVT ZhiZun versions have a combined fuel consumption of 5.3L/100km. The above figures are NEDC combined fuel consumption values, measured under the NEDC test procedure. Actual fuel consumption is higher, ranging from 6.6-7.2L/100km. Here are 5 tips to help reduce fuel consumption while driving: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid suddenly stomping on the accelerator as this can multiply fuel consumption. Gentle acceleration and braking, early braking: While driving, press the accelerator lightly to avoid sudden increases in engine RPM and prevent vehicle shuddering, making the car more fuel-efficient. By anticipating road conditions and applying slow, even acceleration or braking, fuel economy can be improved by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep tire pressure at the manufacturer's recommended level. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (approximately 0.2 in metric units relative to standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular vehicle maintenance or checks: Timely oil changes can reduce carbon buildup (which can cause ignition issues, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and even cylinder misfires in severe cases). Regularly check and replace dirty air filters, and clean or replace fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle bodies at recommended intervals. Close windows while driving. Open windows increase wind resistance, which requires more power and consequently increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving my Nissan Tiida for over two years now, and the AC's impact on fuel consumption is quite noticeable in summer. Normally in city driving without AC, it's about 6.8L/100km, but with AC on, it jumps straight to 8-9L. The exact increase depends largely on traffic conditions - during morning/evening rush hour traffic jams, idling at red lights with AC running makes the fuel gauge climb rapidly. On highways it's better, with AC adding only about 0.5L/100km. Once I did a specific test: 30km urban driving without AC was 7.2L, with AC it went up to 8.5L. I recommend setting the temperature around 24°C - setting it too low makes the compressor cycle more frequently, consuming extra fuel. When first entering the car, open windows to release heat before closing them and turning on AC, which saves some cooling time. Remember to change the cabin air filter every season - after my last replacement, the air got cooler faster and I saved 0.3L/100km. Maintaining proper tire pressure also helps - last month after inflating to correct pressure, I noticed more stable fuel consumption.
