What is the fuel consumption of the Sonata?
1 Answers
The Sonata's combined fuel consumption is 5.6-6.9L/100km. Currently, there are 5 models of the Sonata available for sale. The GL Leading Edition and GLS Elite Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 5.6L/100km. The GLS Luxury Edition and GS Smart Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 6.8L/100km. The TOP Flagship Edition has a combined fuel consumption of 6.9L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the data measured under the NEDC test procedure for combined driving conditions. The actual fuel consumption is higher than these values, ranging from 8.1-8.8L/100km. When driving, the following 5 tips can help reduce fuel consumption: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid suddenly flooring the accelerator, as this can multiply fuel consumption. Light acceleration, light braking, and early braking: While driving, press the accelerator lightly to avoid sudden increases in engine RPM and prevent the car from shaking during operation, thereby making the vehicle more fuel-efficient. By anticipating road conditions and applying slow, even acceleration or braking, fuel economy can be improved by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep tire pressure at the level recommended by the manufacturer. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (approximately 0.2 in metric units relative to the standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular vehicle maintenance or inspections: Timely oil changes can reduce carbon buildup (carbon deposits can cause ignition issues, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, even cylinder misfires). Regularly check and replace the air filter if dirty, and clean or replace the fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle body as per the recommended mileage. Close windows while driving. Driving with windows open increases wind resistance, which in turn increases the resistance the car faces, requiring more power and thus increasing fuel consumption.
