What is the fuel consumption of the Vios per 100 kilometers?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Vios is 4.9-5.1L/100km. There are currently 6 models of the Vios 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 based on the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the data measured under the NEDC test procedure for combined driving conditions. 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), while an SUV weighing about 1.5 tons consumes around 8.5 liters. Different weights lead to varying fuel consumption. Aerodynamic drag: Higher aerodynamic drag increases fuel consumption during driving. Cars with better aerodynamics have lower drag, resulting in lower fuel consumption. Economical RPM: The engine has a most economical torque output point during operation. Maintaining the car's speed within this torque output point 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. Keeping the speed within this economical RPM range ensures minimal fuel consumption. Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before encountering a red light can increase fuel consumption.
When I first bought the Vios last year, I was super focused on fuel consumption. After driving for a few months, the actual average was around 6 liters per 100 kilometers. In city traffic jams, it would rise to 7 liters, while on the highway, it could drop to just over 5 liters. I think driving habits have a huge impact—like aggressive acceleration quickly spikes fuel consumption, but after switching to smoother starts and deceleration, it stabilized at 5.5 liters. For daily commuting, it’s quite economical, with a full tank covering nearly 500 kilometers. Maintenance is also key; I regularly replace the air filter and adjust tire pressure, which helps save fuel. Using the AC in summer increases consumption by about 0.5 liters, so now I’ve gotten used to rolling down the windows for ventilation to save fuel. Overall, the Vios offers great value as a compact car, with much lower fuel consumption than many SUVs.
