[DelLaura]

The Corolla has a total of 12 models currently on sale, with an official fuel consumption ranging from 4.0L to 5.6L per 100 kilometers. The fuel consumption for different models is as follows: 2021 TNGA 1.5L CVT GR-SPORT Sport Edition, CVT Elite Edition, and Elite CARE Edition (3 models), equipped with a 121-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.2L per 100 kilometers. 2021 TNGA 1.5L CVT Pioneer Edition, equipped with a 121-horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.1L per 100 kilometers. 2021 TNGA 1.5L Manual Pioneer Edition, equipped with a 121-horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.6L per 100 kilometers. 2021 1.2T S-CVT Elite PLUS Edition, Luxury Edition, and Flagship Edition (3 models), equipped with a 116-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.6L per 100 kilometers. 2021 1.2T S-CVT Pioneer PLUS Edition, equipped with a 116-horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.5L per 100 kilometers. 2021 Hybrid 1.8L E-CVT Pioneer Edition, equipped with a 98-horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 4L per 100 kilometers. 2021 Hybrid 1.8L E-CVT Elite Edition and Flagship Edition (2 models), equipped with a 98-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 4.1L per 100 kilometers. The Corolla uses 92-octane gasoline, with an average fuel price of 8.05 yuan per liter. The fuel cost per 100 kilometers for different models is as follows: 2021 TNGA 1.5L CVT GR-SPORT Sport Edition, CVT Elite Edition, and Elite CARE Edition: 5.2 * 8.05 = 41.86 yuan per 100 kilometers. 2021 TNGA 1.5L CVT Pioneer Edition: 5.1 * 8.05 = 41.055 yuan per 100 kilometers. 2021 TNGA 1.5L Manual Pioneer Edition, 2021 1.2T S-CVT Elite PLUS Edition, Luxury Edition, and Flagship Edition: 5.6 * 8.05 = 45.08 yuan per 100 kilometers. 2021 1.2T S-CVT Pioneer PLUS Edition: 5.5 * 8.05 = 44.275 yuan per 100 kilometers. 2021 Hybrid 1.8L E-CVT Pioneer Edition: 4 * 8.05 = 32.2 yuan per 100 kilometers. 2021 Hybrid 1.8L E-CVT Elite Edition and Flagship Edition: 4.1 * 8.05 = 33.005 yuan per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity varies among different Corolla models. The distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is as follows: 2021 TNGA 1.5L CVT GR-SPORT Sport Edition, CVT Elite Edition, and Elite CARE Edition (3 models), with a 50L fuel tank, can cover 50 / 5.2 * 100 = 961 kilometers on a full tank. 2021 TNGA 1.5L CVT Pioneer Edition, with a 50L fuel tank, can cover 50 / 5.1 * 100 = 980 kilometers on a full tank. 2021 TNGA 1.5L Manual Pioneer Edition, 2021 1.2T S-CVT Elite PLUS Edition, Luxury Edition, and Flagship Edition, with a 50L fuel tank, can cover 50 / 5.6 * 100 = 892 kilometers on a full tank. 2021 1.2T S-CVT Pioneer PLUS Edition, with a 50L fuel tank, can cover 50 / 5.5 * 100 = 909 kilometers on a full tank. 2021 Hybrid 1.8L E-CVT Pioneer Edition, with a 43L fuel tank, can cover 43 / 4 * 100 = 1075 kilometers on a full tank. 2021 Hybrid 1.8L E-CVT Elite Edition and Flagship Edition, with a 43L fuel tank, can cover 43 / 4.1 * 100 = 1048 kilometers on a full tank. The fuel consumption of a car is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as rapid acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements, as larger displacements typically produce more power and require more gasoline to burn. Heavier cars also consume more fuel, as greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to burn, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine control unit may increase the idle speed to warm up the engine, further increasing fuel consumption.

I've been driving a Corolla with a 1.2T gasoline engine for several years. In the city, the fuel consumption usually ranges between 7.5 to 8.5 liters per 100 kilometers, while on the highway it's more economical, around 6 liters. If the weather is hot with the air conditioning on or the car is fully loaded, the fuel consumption might increase by half a liter to a liter. I believe driving habits are crucial—avoiding sudden braking and maintaining a steady speed can help stabilize fuel consumption. Now, the Corolla also comes with a hybrid version. I test-drove a friend's, and the fuel consumption was only about 4.5 liters, making it especially suitable for congested roads—easy to drive and cost-effective. My personal suggestion is to choose a car based on your travel needs: the gasoline version is fine if you often drive on highways, but the hybrid is better for daily commuting. Additionally, keeping the tires properly inflated can also save some fuel costs. Overall, the Corolla's fuel consumption is within a reasonable range—it's not overly fuel-efficient, nor is it as miraculous as some claim.
