What is the fuel consumption of the Vios 1.5 automatic?
4 Answers
The combined fuel consumption of the Vios 1.5 automatic is 4.9L/100km. There are currently 4 models of the Vios 1.5 automatic available for sale: the CVT Chuangxing CARE Edition, CVT Chuangxing Edition, CVT Zhixing Edition, and CVT Shuxing Edition, all with a combined fuel consumption of 4.9L/100km. The above figures are NEDC combined 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 5.1-7.0L/100km. The specific factors affecting a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Car weight: Larger and heavier cars tend to consume more fuel. Generally, a small family car with a 1.6L engine and a weight of about 1.2 tons has a fuel consumption of approximately 7.5 liters (calculated under full load conditions), while an SUV weighing about 1.5 tons consumes around 8.5 liters. Different weights result in different fuel consumption levels. Wind resistance: Higher wind resistance increases fuel consumption during driving. Cars with better aerodynamics have lower wind resistance, which in turn reduces fuel consumption. Economical RPM: During driving, the engine has an optimal torque output point where fuel consumption is minimized. Generally, for small-displacement cars, this is around 70 km/h, and for larger-displacement cars, it's about 100 km/h. Maintaining speed within this economical RPM range can significantly reduce fuel consumption. Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before reaching traffic lights can increase fuel consumption.
I'm quite impressed with the fuel consumption of the Vios 1.5 automatic. Previously, I researched the official data which stated urban driving consumes about 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers, while highway driving can drop to around 5 to 6 liters. In practice, when I tested my friend's car, urban traffic congestion could push it above 9 liters, while steady highway driving easily maintained below 6 liters. There are many influencing factors, such as driving habits – sudden acceleration and hard braking can cause fuel consumption to spike. I recommend starting gently and maintaining a steady speed on highways. Daily use of air conditioning also adds about 0.5 liters to the consumption. Low tire pressure or excessive vehicle load can worsen fuel efficiency. Overall, I find this car quite fuel-efficient, especially suitable for city commuting, and it can save a significant amount on fuel costs in the long run. Don't forget regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance.
As an ordinary driver of a Vios 1.5 automatic, my daily fuel consumption generally fluctuates between over 8L in the city and 5-6L on the highway. Last month, I took a long-distance highway trip and recorded a minimum of 5.2L per 100km, which was quite a pleasant surprise. However, during peak hours in the city with heavy traffic, it can spike up to 9L, especially when the air conditioning is running at full blast. I believe this is related to the smoothness of the CVT transmission, which provides seamless acceleration without wasting fuel. I've also adjusted my driving habits, such as avoiding frequent braking and maintaining a steady speed between 60 to 80 km/h, which has saved me around a hundred bucks in fuel costs each month. Overall, the car's fuel consumption is reasonable, suitable for both beginners and experienced drivers, with road conditions playing a significant role—choosing less congested routes is more economical.
The fuel consumption of the Vios 1.5 automatic is what I consider upper-middle level among compact cars. The official figures of 7-8L in the city and 5-6L on the highway are quite realistic. I've driven similar versions with a daily average of around 7.5L per 100km. Driving style plays a major role - aggressive driving can consume an extra half liter, and heavy AC usage also increases consumption. Neglecting tire checks and running with insufficient pressure can raise fuel consumption by over 10%. Overall, it's quite economical for commuting, just don't forget regular maintenance for worry-free operation.
