What is the fuel consumption of the Sail 3 automatic transmission?
2 Answers
The theoretical fuel consumption of the Sail 3 automatic transmission is 5.3L per 100 kilometers, with an average combined fuel consumption of 6.39L. Additional details are as follows: 1. Configuration: The main changes in the new car focus on the configuration, with ABS, EBD, and seat belt warning functions as standard across the entire range. Additionally, the intelligent connectivity system is also equipped on its high-end models. 2. Powertrain: It adopts a newly developed high-efficiency powertrain system, featuring a newly developed 1.5L-DVVT engine and a 1.3L-VVT engine, paired with manual and intelligent start-stop mechanical automatic transmissions. This not only delivers efficient power but also ensures excellent fuel economy and easy driving performance.
I've been driving the Sail 3 automatic transmission for over two years. For urban commuting, the average fuel consumption is about 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers, while it can drop to around 5.5 liters during highway cruising. Using air conditioning increases consumption by approximately 0.5 liters. Driving habits have a significant impact—sudden acceleration or frequent braking can cause fuel consumption to skyrocket. I recommend maintaining smooth driving and anticipating traffic signals in advance. Maintenance is also crucial; changing the engine oil and cleaning the air filter every 5,000 kilometers can improve engine efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. Low tire pressure increases rolling resistance, so I check it weekly to keep it at the manufacturer's recommended value. Overall, this car is economical and practical, with fuel consumption ranking above average among small cars, making it suitable for daily commuting.
