What is the fuel consumption of the Vios Bear?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Vios is 4.9-5.1L/100km. There are a total of 6 Vios models currently on sale: the CVT Chuangxing CARE Edition, CVT Chuangxing Edition, CVT Zhixing Edition, and CVT Shuxing Edition, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.9L/100km. The manual Qianxing Edition and manual Chuangxing Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.1L/100km. The above figures are 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 5.1-7.0L/100km. Specific factors affecting a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Vehicle 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 varying fuel consumption. Drag coefficient: Higher drag coefficients increase fuel consumption during driving. Cars with better aerodynamics have lower drag coefficients, leading to reduced fuel consumption. Optimal engine speed: During operation, the engine has a most economical torque output point. Maintaining the car's speed within this torque output range can significantly reduce fuel consumption. Typically, small-displacement cars achieve this at about 70 km/h, while larger-displacement cars reach it at around 100 km/h. Staying within this optimal speed range ensures minimal fuel consumption. Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at traffic lights can increase fuel consumption.
I've been driving my Vios for over two years, mainly commuting in the city with occasional highway trips on weekends. According to my records on the Xiaoxiong Fuel Consumption APP, my average fuel consumption is around 6L/100km. In congested urban areas, it rises to 7-8L, while on highways it drops to 5L, which is quite fuel-efficient. This is largely related to driving habits - for instance, I practice gradual acceleration and avoid sudden braking, which helps reduce fuel consumption. Additionally, regular maintenance like changing the air filter and maintaining proper tire pressure (keeping it at 2.4-2.5 bar) also contributes to better fuel economy. Beginners can download data from the Xiaoxiong APP for reference and learn fuel-saving techniques, such as avoiding overloading the car and excessive use of air conditioning.
