What is the fuel consumption of the Wuling Journey?
3 Answers
The average fuel consumption of the Wuling Journey is 9.6 liters per 100 kilometers. Below are some related introductions about fuel consumption: 1. Driving habits and road conditions: Fuel consumption is greatly influenced by driving habits and road conditions. Avoid heavy acceleration; gradual acceleration from a start is the most fuel-efficient. To save fuel, avoid pressing the accelerator heavily when starting, as heavy acceleration can increase fuel consumption by 2 to 3 times compared to normal starting speeds. 2. Braking: Maintaining a safe distance and avoiding frequent braking saves even more fuel. If you don't keep a safe distance, you may often need to brake on the road. When braking, an automatic transmission vehicle will downshift, requiring the vehicle to accelerate again from a lower gear. Starting from a stop or a low gear forces the engine to consume more fuel.
I've been driving the Wuling ZhengTu for hauling goods on long trips for several years, so I know all about its fuel consumption. The official data claims 6 to 7 liters per 100 kilometers, but in my actual driving experience, it averages around 7.5 liters. When running empty on the highway, the fuel consumption can drop to just over 6 liters, which is quite economical. However, in city traffic with congestion or uphill driving, it can spike to 8 liters or more. Driving habits make a big difference—I've found that smooth starts and less braking save a lot of fuel. Heavy loads significantly increase consumption, so I recommend regular tire pressure checks and air filter cleaning to keep the engine efficient. In the long run, driving about a thousand kilometers a month costs just a few hundred yuan in fuel, which is very cost-effective for small businesses. With diligent maintenance, fuel consumption stays stable, and the Wuling ZhengTu's practicality and economy are truly impressive.
My family uses the small Wuling ZhengTu for vegetable delivery business, and fuel consumption directly affects our household expenses. The advertised fuel consumption at purchase was around 6.5L/100km, but my actual recorded average is slightly over 7L, exceeding 8L when carrying cargo. At current fuel prices, it costs about 50 yuan per 100km - meaning I only spend 250 yuan for 500km, much more economical than large trucks. Road conditions significantly impact fuel efficiency: on flat roads without cargo, I can maintain 7L/100km, but bumpy roads or frequent sharp turns immediately increase consumption. I've learned to accelerate gently, check tire pressure regularly, and avoid overloading - saving nearly a thousand yuan annually on fuel. It's a reliable family vehicle that balances fuel efficiency with low maintenance costs.
