What is the fuel consumption of the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard is 5.7L/100km. Currently, there are 5 models of the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard on sale: the J15 version, J11 version, J10 Flyer version, J16 version, and J16 Su Shen Limited Edition, all with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.7L/100km. The above figures are based on the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 8.3-9.0L/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, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. 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 temperature is low, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to combust, thus increasing 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 the Emgrand for a while now, with an average fuel consumption of around 8 liters per 100 km in the city and about 6 liters on the highway, making a combined average of roughly 7 liters, which is quite normal. Driving habits have a big impact—maintaining a steady speed and avoiding sudden acceleration helps keep fuel consumption in check. Additionally, using the AC in hot weather can add about 1 liter to the consumption, so I try to park in the shade during summer. Regular maintenance is crucial; replacing a dirty air filter can improve engine efficiency and slightly reduce fuel usage. Compared to similar cars like the Civic, the Emgrand's fuel consumption is slightly higher, but its sportier chassis tuning makes it more stable around corners. For long-term use, I recommend checking tire pressure monthly to prevent slipping and save fuel. Overall, it's an economical and practical choice, suitable for daily commutes and occasional highway trips.
