What is the fuel consumption of Wuling Rongguang?
3 Answers
Wuling Rongguang consumes 6.6~6.8L of fuel per 100 kilometers. With a length of 4 meters, a width of 1620mm, and a height of 1915mm, Wuling Rongguang is comprehensively larger in all dimensions compared to traditional microvans (under 3.8 meters). The larger size brings more space, offering greater passenger and cargo capacity than ordinary extended microvans. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Correctly adjust tire inflation pressure: Maintaining proper tire pressure can reduce rolling resistance and lower fuel consumption. Additionally, slightly higher tire pressure (about +0.2bar above the recommended value) can also save fuel. Moderate use of in-car auxiliary electrical equipment: Using certain electrical equipment can significantly increase fuel consumption, such as the air conditioning system's cooling function. Turn off seat heaters promptly once the heating purpose is achieved. Similarly, deactivate the rear window defroster when there is no fog or ice on the window.
I've been driving this Wuling Rongguang Xinka for three years, mainly for hauling construction materials. It's the 1.5L manual transmission model. In city deliveries with AC on, it consumes around 8-9 liters per 100km. On well-maintained national highways, it can drop to about 7 liters. Once when driving empty on the highway, the gauge showed a record low of 6.3L. When frequently climbing slopes with full load, the fuel consumption definitely spikes. If the tire pressure is low or the engine oil hasn't been changed for too long, the consumption increases by over half a liter. My friend's 1.2L model is slightly more fuel-efficient, but you can clearly hear the engine struggling when hauling heavy loads.
Last week, I just finished test-driving my colleague's 2022 Wuling Rongguang V, the 1.5L power-assisted version. With the air conditioning on throughout the journey, driving in a mix of urban and suburban areas, the calculated fuel consumption was 7.8 liters per 100 kilometers. When you press the accelerator hard, the engine noise is quite loud, but maintaining a steady speed actually saves fuel. Experienced drivers say shifting gears at around 2000 RPM is the most economical, and frequently changing the air filter can reduce fuel consumption by about 0.5 liters. When carrying 300-500 pounds of cargo, I specifically checked the instantaneous fuel consumption, which was about 1 liter more per 100 kilometers compared to running empty.
