What is the fuel consumption of the Roewe W5?
2 Answers
The average fuel consumption of the Roewe W5 is 14.1 liters per 100 kilometers. The Roewe W5 is Shanghai Automotive's first SUV model and also China's first mid-to-high-end SUV under a domestic brand, positioned as a 'cross-domain professional SUV.' The vehicle features a P-4WD professional-grade all-mode drive system and an HFA high-strength off-road body structure (non-load-bearing body). Methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Correctly adjust tire inflation pressure: Proper tire pressure can reduce rolling resistance and lower fuel consumption. Additionally, slightly higher tire pressure than the recommended value (+0.2 bar) can also save fuel. 2. Use in-car auxiliary electrical equipment moderately: The use of certain electrical equipment can significantly increase fuel consumption, such as the air conditioning system's cooling function. If the heating purpose has been achieved, the seat heater should be turned off promptly. The rear window heater should also be turned off when there is no fog or ice on the window. 3. Use gears correctly: Match the gear to the appropriate speed—avoid high speed with low gear or low speed with high gear. Shift gears in advance, ensuring the gear matches the speed appropriately, and avoid driving at high speed with low gear or low speed with high gear.
I've been driving the Roewe W5 for over two years, mainly commuting in the city, with fuel consumption ranging between 12 to 15 liters per 100 kilometers, especially rising quickly during traffic jams. On the highway, driving steadily can reduce it to around 8 to 10 liters. Actually, fuel consumption is affected by many small things, like frequently slamming on the brakes or running the air conditioning at full blast, both of which increase fuel usage. Fellow car enthusiasts recommend regular maintenance, such as changing the air filter, to keep the engine cleaner and lower fuel consumption. I'm still exploring fuel-saving techniques, like carrying less weight and keeping tire pressure at the recommended level, which have proven quite effective.
