What is the fuel consumption of the Toyota Corolla?
2 Answers
Toyota Corolla is equipped with a 120-horsepower engine, and its NEDC fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 6.5L. The fuel tank capacity of the Toyota Corolla is 50L, and the distance it can travel on a full tank is 50/6.5*100=769km. 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. The specific factors that can increase a car's 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, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacement engines generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement engines because larger displacement usually means greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform 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. Environmental temperature: Low environmental temperatures mean the engine block is cold, and 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's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Toyota Corolla to commute for several years and find its fuel consumption quite reasonable. In city driving with frequent stops and starts, it consumes about 9 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers. On highways, it drops to around 6 liters, which is very fuel-efficient. My car is the 1.8-liter gasoline version, with an average combined fuel consumption of just over 7 liters. Being mindful while driving, like maintaining proper tire pressure and avoiding sudden acceleration, can further reduce fuel consumption. Regular maintenance is also important—after changing the air filter, I noticed slightly better fuel efficiency. Overall, as a family car, the Corolla offers high reliability with modest fuel expenses, saving me about a hundred bucks a month—enough for some snacks.
