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

[DominicLee]

The Lingpai has a total of 10 models currently on sale. Among them, five models—the Lingpai 2022 1.5L Rui·Phantom Night Edition, Comfort Edition, Flagship Edition, Smart Enjoy Edition, and Luxury Edition—are equipped with a 109-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 4L per 100 kilometers. Three models—the Lingpai 2022 180Turbo CVT Phantom Night Edition, Flagship Edition, and Smart Enjoy Edition—are equipped with a 122-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 5L per 100 kilometers. Two models—the Lingpai 2022 180Turbo CVT Luxury Edition and Comfort Edition—are equipped with a 122-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 4.9L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity is the same for all Lingpai models, at 40L. The distance each model can travel on a full tank is as follows: For the Lingpai 2022 1.5L Rui·Phantom Night Edition, Comfort Edition, Flagship Edition, Smart Enjoy Edition, and Luxury Edition, the distance on a full tank is 40/4*100=1000km. For the 2022 180Turbo CVT Phantom Night Edition, Flagship Edition, and Smart Enjoy Edition, the distance on a full tank is 40/5*100=800km. For the Lingpai 2022 180Turbo CVT Luxury Edition and Comfort Edition, the distance on a full tank is 40/4.9*100=816km. 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 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 output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. 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 resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in cold temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, further increasing fuel consumption.

I've been driving the Lingpai for two years, mainly for city commuting and occasional highway trips. The actual average fuel consumption is around 5.8 liters per 100 kilometers, calculated based on my own records of fuel refills and mileage. The official claim is 5.5 liters, but actual consumption is influenced by many factors. For example, it can go up to 6.5 liters in traffic jams, while highway cruising can bring it down to 5.2 liters. Some fuel-saving tips include gentle driving, avoiding frequent braking and sudden acceleration; maintaining standard tire pressure and checking it quarterly; and not blasting the air conditioning too hard. The Lingpai offers spacious and comfortable interiors, and its fuel efficiency is outstanding among compact cars—much better than SUVs, saving hundreds of yuan in fuel costs each month. Overall, it's a practical and cost-effective choice.
