What is the fuel consumption of the second-generation Eado?
4 Answers
The fuel consumption of the second-generation Eado ranges between 6.3-8.7L per 100 kilometers. Below is a related introduction to the second-generation Eado: 1. Power: It is equipped with a 1.4T high-pressure direct injection engine, with a peak power of 116kW and a peak torque of 260N·m. The transmission part is paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, offering excellent power response and commendable gear shift smoothness, meeting the needs of most people. 2. Compliant with China VI standards: The 35MPa high-pressure direct injection system and the AGILE efficient ultra-clean combustion system ensure more complete combustion compared to other models in the same class, with a thermal efficiency of up to 40%. Most importantly, this vehicle also meets the China 6 emission standards.
I've been driving the second-generation Eado for almost two years. The 1.6L automatic version consumes about 8-9L/100km in city driving, and can go up to 10L/100km in heavy traffic. It's particularly fuel-efficient on highways, around 6L/100km. With a 55-liter fuel tank, a full tank can cover over 600 kilometers. It's slightly more fuel-consuming than my colleague's Honda Sylphy but offers significantly stronger power. Usually, it's important to avoid flooring the accelerator when starting, and insufficient tire pressure can also increase fuel consumption. Running the AC in summer noticeably increases fuel consumption by about 0.5L/100km. It's recommended to use 92-octane gasoline; 95-octane is just a waste of money. Last week, I noticed fuel consumption skyrocketing when driving uphill on mountain roads, but coasting in gear downhill saves fuel. The car's most economical speed is around 80 mph.
The fuel consumption of the 2nd-gen Eado varies based on configuration and road conditions. My manual transmission version averages 7.5L/100km in city driving, while my colleague's automatic version reaches 8.5L. The official WLTC test result of 6.5L seems optimistic - with AC on in traffic jams, it easily exceeds 9L. Highway driving is truly fuel-efficient, maintaining 6L/100km with cruise control. The fuel tank design is quite reasonable - a full tank lasts me two weeks of commuting. Driving habits significantly impact fuel economy - by anticipating traffic lights and braking less, I save 50 yuan monthly on fuel compared to my colleague Wang who accelerates aggressively. Maintain tire pressure at 2.4 bar - low pressure noticeably increases fuel consumption.
Actual fuel consumption test of the 2nd-gen Eado under different road conditions: pure highway 5.8L/100km, urban expressways 7.2L, and up to 9.3L during rush hour traffic jams. The 1.6L engine paired with a 6AT transmission is relatively fuel-thirsty, especially during low-speed follow-up driving. Using 92-octane gasoline saves about 600 yuan annually compared to 95-octane, but don't compromise quality by fueling at small gas stations. Use 0W-20 full synthetic engine oil for better fuel efficiency due to its lower viscosity. Drivers who keep toolboxes in their trunk year-round may experience 0.5L higher fuel consumption than empty vehicles, and remember to check tire pressure monthly. This fuel consumption level is average among domestic vehicles, slightly higher than Geely Emgrand.
