What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Corolla 1.8?
2 Answers
Corolla 1.8 has a fuel consumption of 4-4.1L per 100 kilometers. Currently, there are three models available for sale. Among them, the Corolla 2021 Flagship Edition and Elite Edition have a fuel consumption of 4.1L per 100 kilometers, while the Pioneer Edition has a fuel consumption of 4L per 100 kilometers. The above figures are the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the data measured under the NEDC test procedure for combined driving conditions. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, at 4.5L/100km. Among comparable models, the Civic 2022 has a combined fuel consumption of 5.5L/100km, the Xingrui 2021 has a combined fuel consumption of 6.7L/100km, and the Lavida 2022 has a combined fuel consumption of 5.6L/100km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind direction, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before encountering a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because 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 direction: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize during a cold start, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Corolla 1.8L model for five years. Based on my daily experience, the fuel consumption is generally between 7.5 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers, though it tends to be higher on city roads, possibly reaching 9 liters in traffic jams, while on highways it can drop to around 6 liters. The key is how you drive—sudden acceleration and using air conditioning can cause fuel consumption to spike. Once, on a long trip, I filled up the tank and drove 700 kilometers, averaging just over 7 liters per 100 kilometers. For daily driving, I recommend maintaining proper tire pressure and changing the engine oil regularly to save some fuel costs. Another tip is to carry less unnecessary weight to reduce the car's load—after all, the Corolla isn't an off-road vehicle, and fuel efficiency in city commuting is what matters most. In short, fuel consumption isn't a fixed number—it depends on road conditions and driving habits—but as long as you drive steadily, it'll be fine.
