What is the fuel consumption of the Santa Fe?
2 Answers
The combined fuel consumption of the Santa Fe is 8.2-8.9L/100km. There are currently 8 models of the Santa Fe on sale: the GL Elite Edition, DLX Premium Edition, DLX Premium Edition PLUS, GLS Luxury Edition, and TOP Flagship Edition, with a combined fuel consumption of 8.2L/100km. The TOP-HTRAC Flagship Edition, DLX-HTRAC Premium Edition, and DLX-HTRAC Premium Edition PLUS have a combined fuel consumption of 8.9L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the data measured under the NEDC test procedure for comprehensive driving conditions. The actual fuel consumption is higher than these values, ranging from 9.0-13.0L/100km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, will increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn for work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Hyundai Santa Fe for three years. In the city, the fuel consumption is generally between 10 to 12 liters per 100 kilometers, while on the highway, it can drop to 7 to 9 liters. The overall fuel consumption of this car isn't too high, but it depends on how you drive. I usually pay attention to maintaining a steady speed, avoid sudden acceleration, and slow down in advance before red lights, which saves a lot of fuel. Maintenance is also crucial. Regularly changing the engine oil and air filter, and keeping the tire pressure at the recommended level, helps maintain stable fuel consumption. Weather changes have a significant impact. In winter, longer warm-up times increase fuel consumption by about 1 liter, and using air conditioning in summer also adds to the consumption. In practical use, a full tank can cover about 500 to 600 kilometers. Overall, the monthly fuel cost is around 1,000 yuan, making it suitable for family daily use—spacious and practical, without too much worry about fuel expenses.
