What is the fuel consumption of the WEY Mocha?
3 Answers
The fuel consumption of the WEY Mocha is 9.4-10.4L/100km. The currently available Mocha models include the 2021 2.0T two-wheel-drive Special Flavor Edition, two-wheel-drive NOH Smart Navigation Edition, two-wheel-drive Premium Edition, four-wheel-drive Special Flavor Edition, and four-wheel-drive Premium Edition, totaling five variants. The official NEDC combined fuel consumption is slightly lower than the actual fuel consumption, at 7.0-7.5L/100km. Among vehicles in the same class, the Lynk & Co 01 has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 7.4-7.8L/100km, the Wildlander has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 7.4-7.8L/100km, the Mazda CX-5 has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 7.4-7.8L/100km, the Kia KX5 has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.7-7.4L/100km, and the Tang has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 9.0L/100km. The fuel consumption of a vehicle is directly influenced by five main factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. The details are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, increases fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles 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 vehicles also consume more fuel due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous terrain increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more fuel for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in cold temperatures, the engine control unit may increase the idle speed to warm up the engine, further increasing fuel consumption.
As someone quite familiar with cars, I can say that the WEY Mocha's fuel consumption performance averages around 9 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on whether it's the gasoline or plug-in hybrid version. For the gasoline model, city driving might push consumption above 11 liters, while highway driving can reduce it to about 7 liters. This is mainly due to frequent stops and starts in urban traffic, which naturally consumes more fuel. Vehicle weight and aerodynamics also play a role; as a midsize SUV, the Mocha's fuel consumption slightly increases when carrying passengers or cargo. The hybrid version is much more economical. In full-electric mode with a full charge, it can travel over 100 kilometers with almost no fuel consumption, and post-charging fuel consumption can drop to as low as 1 to 2 liters. Without battery power, relying on the engine increases consumption to around 6 liters. In short, choosing the right version is crucial. Driving steadily, maintaining proper tire pressure, and regular engine maintenance can significantly reduce fuel consumption, preventing a major hit to your wallet.
I've been commuting daily with my WEY Mocha for a year now, and its fuel consumption is quite reasonable. It averages around 11 liters in the city, and drops to 8 liters per 100 km on long highway drives. I remember one family road trip where, thanks to downhill slopes and steady driving, the fuel consumption was as low as 7.5 liters. However, on the return trip, we hit traffic, and it soared to over 12 liters, showing how much road conditions can impact it. Although it's the fuel version with not exactly low consumption, the spacious and comfortable interior plus ample horsepower make it feel worth it. For new drivers, I'd suggest avoiding sudden acceleration and keeping an eye on the real-time fuel consumption display. Using navigation to avoid traffic jams can easily save you several liters. For long-term driving, remember to check the air filter and spark plugs—dirty ones can drag down fuel efficiency, and replacing these parts yourself isn't too hard. Overall, the Mocha's fuel consumption is mid-range among similar SUVs. Drive it gently, and maintenance is fairly manageable.
