What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Lingpai?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Lingpai is 4.0-5.0L. Currently, there are 10 models available for sale. Among them, the Lingpai 2022 CVT Flagship Edition, CVT Zhixiang Edition, and CVT Phantom Night Edition have a fuel consumption of 5L per 100 kilometers. The Rui·Phantom Night Edition, Rui·Comfort Edition, Rui·Flagship Edition, Rui·Zhixiang Edition, and Rui·Luxury Edition have a fuel consumption of 4L per 100 kilometers. The CVT Luxury Edition and CVT Comfort Edition have a fuel consumption of 4.9L 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 7.79L/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 Corolla 2021 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, will 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 greater 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 the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize, 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've been driving the Lingpai to commute, and my personal experience with this car's fuel consumption is around 5.8 liters per 100 kilometers, while the official figure is 5.4L/100km. In reality, there's a slight fluctuation. In city traffic jams, it can go up to 6.5 liters, but on the highway, it can drop to 4.8 liters. The key is driving habits—avoid sudden acceleration and press the throttle gently to save fuel. I've also noticed that prolonged use of the air conditioning increases fuel consumption, especially in summer, so it's something to watch out for. The fuel tank capacity is 50 liters, and a full tank can take you over 800 kilometers, which is much more economical than many SUVs. My monthly fuel cost is just over 600 yuan. Regular maintenance helps too—I change the oil filter every 5,000 kilometers and adjust the tire pressure to the standard 32 psi to reduce resistance and stabilize fuel consumption. If you keep driving in eco mode, maintaining low fuel consumption is easy, which is a thoughtful feature for a daily commuter car.
