What is the fuel consumption parameter of the Hongqi HS5?
3 Answers
The fuel consumption range of the Hongqi HS5 is 7.6-11.2L/100km, with an average fuel consumption of 10.7L/100km. The actual fuel consumption mainly depends on the specific driving conditions and the driver's habits, as there are many complex factors affecting fuel consumption. Below are some tips to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Start slowly: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. 2. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep the tire pressure at the level recommended by the manufacturer. 3. Regularly organize the trunk and reduce weight: Extra items increase the vehicle's weight, thereby increasing fuel consumption.
Having driven the Hongqi HS5 for almost half a year, I'm totally qualified to talk about its fuel consumption! My 2023 2.0T QiXiang version has an official NEDC rating of 7.7L/100km, but real-world driving tells a completely different story. In city traffic with AC on, it easily hits 12L, while highway cruising is more economical at around 8L. From discussions in owner groups, the 2WD versions generally save about 1L compared to 4WD, and heavy-footed drivers can reach 14L. My advice: don't just believe the spec sheet, make sure to use the 95-octane gasoline marked on the fuel cap, and regular maintenance significantly impacts fuel efficiency. Clearing your trunk can save dozens of kilograms - I personally verified it saves about 0.5L.
Last week during the test drive of the Hongqi HS5, I specifically measured the fuel consumption. The salesperson mentioned that the new model features a 2.0T+8AT powertrain combination across the entire lineup, with the two-wheel-drive version having an official MIIT-rated fuel consumption of 7.7L/100km and the four-wheel-drive version at 8.2L. However, the test car's display showed an actual fuel consumption of 10.3L, likely due to the many traffic lights on the test drive route. Interestingly, when switching to eco mode, the engine RPM was noticeably lower, and the start-stop function helped save a significant amount of idle fuel consumption. It's worth paying attention to the active grille shutter function, which indeed saves fuel by warming up the car faster in winter. For more accurate data, you can check owner forums where many people share screenshots of their trip fuel consumption, which are much more reliable than the official parameters.
