What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Lamando?

The 2022 Lamando has 7 models on sale. Among them, the Lamando L-280TS-DSG Spicy Edition, Shiny Spicy Edition, Hot Spicy Edition, Super Spicy Flagship Edition, Comfort Edition, and Luxury Phantom Edition, all equipped with a 150 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.92L per 100 kilometers. The 230TSI-DSG Fashion Edition, equipped with a 131 horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.4L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity is the same for different Lamando models. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 150 horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.92L per 100 kilometers, the fuel tank capacity is 51L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 51/5.92*100=861km. For models equipped with a 131 horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.4L per 100 kilometers, the fuel tank capacity is 51L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 51/5.4*100=944km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine 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: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases 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 drive a Lamando 280TSI, with an official fuel consumption rating of around 5.6 liters per 100 kilometers, but the actual mileage heavily depends on driving habits. For my daily commute in the city with traffic congestion, fuel consumption can reach 8 liters, while on the highway it drops to just over 6 liters. Gentle acceleration and avoiding sudden braking can save a lot of fuel, and using air conditioning in summer or carrying a full load can increase consumption by about 0.5 liters. Regular maintenance is crucial—after replacing the air filter, I noticed the fuel consumption stabilized around 7.2 liters. Overall, this car isn’t a gas guzzler, striking a good balance between power and fuel efficiency, and its long-term economy ranks above average among joint-venture cars.
