What is the fuel consumption of the Roewe RX5 automatic transmission?
2 Answers
According to official data, the fuel consumption of the Roewe RX5 automatic transmission is 6.8L per 100 kilometers. Of course, this is just a reference value provided by the manufacturer. In real-world conditions, the actual fuel consumption is usually about 2L higher than the manufacturer's combined cycle figure, and the exact value should be measured by the user. Factors affecting fuel consumption include: 1. Rough roads increase fuel consumption: Driving on congested or uneven roads in low gear for extended periods will inevitably increase fuel consumption; 2. Overloading the trunk increases fuel consumption: Treating the trunk as a storage space and filling it with unnecessary items adds weight to the car. It's important to note that vehicle weight is directly proportional to fuel consumption. A 10% reduction in weight can lead to a corresponding percentage drop in fuel consumption; 3. Poor driving habits can double or triple fuel consumption: Incorrect driving habits have the greatest impact on fuel consumption. During driving, especially in heavy traffic, at red lights, or when changing lanes, sudden acceleration and hard braking are the most common issues.
I've been driving the Roewe RX5 automatic transmission for over two years now, and the actual fuel consumption depends on road conditions and driving habits. In city traffic with frequent stops and starts, the fuel consumption is relatively high, around 9-10 liters per 100 kilometers. On expressways and highways, it's much more fuel-efficient, with the lowest consumption reaching about 7 liters. Using the air conditioning in summer increases consumption by around 1 liter, and maintaining standard tire pressure can also help save some fuel. The car's 1.5T engine paired with a dual-clutch transmission gives it an overall fuel consumption that's average among domestic SUVs. If you often drive long distances, a full tank can easily take you 600-700 kilometers. When I first bought the car, I was worried about fuel consumption, but now I find it completely acceptable.
