What is the fuel consumption of the Shadow Leopard?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Shadow Leopard is 5.9 liters per 100 kilometers. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Check the air conditioning system in summer: Air conditioning malfunctions are a significant cause of high fuel consumption. Poor cooling performance will lead to increased fan speed and lower temperature settings to achieve a cooling effect. 2. Frequent hard braking: Frequent hard braking is a major reason for persistently high fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. 3. Avoid excessive use of air conditioning in small-displacement vehicles: For vehicles exposed to the sun, do not turn on the air conditioning immediately after entering. First, open the windows and set the fan to a higher speed without turning on the air conditioning to expel the hot air inside. Wait until the vehicle has cooled down moderately before turning on the air conditioning.
Many people are concerned about the fuel consumption of the Emgrand. The official figures for the 1.5T version claim 5.7 to 6.0 liters per 100 kilometers, but real-world tests show around 8 liters in city driving with air conditioning and traffic congestion, while highway driving can drop it below 6 liters. The car has a strong start, and the instantaneous fuel consumption spikes when you press the accelerator hard. A friend's car, driven for 9,000 kilometers over six months, shows an average of 7.3 liters on the display. The hybrid version is indeed more fuel-efficient, with electric motor assistance keeping it around 5 liters in the city, though highway driving sees more engine involvement. In winter, turning on the heater increases fuel consumption by about half a liter for both versions. When buying, consider your daily driving conditions—if you're mostly crawling in city traffic, the hybrid version is more economical.
