What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Lynk & Co 05?
3 Answers
There are a total of 7 models of the Lynk & Co 05 currently on sale. Among them, 5 models including the 2022 2.0TD two-wheel drive Yao and the 2022 2.0TD two-wheel drive Yao Plus, equipped with a 254 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 9.2L per 100 kilometers. The other 2 models, such as the 2022 05+ 2.0TD automatic exploration edition, equipped with a 265 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 10.1L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity of different Lynk & Co 05 models varies. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 254 horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 45L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 45/9.2*100=489KM. For models equipped with a 265 horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 45L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 45/10.1*100=446KM. 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 a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle in advance when approaching 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 the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline is less likely to vaporize, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Lynk & Co 05 for almost two years now. In city stop-and-go traffic, the fuel consumption is around 10L/100km, while on highways it's particularly fuel-efficient, dropping to 7.5L/100km. The car weighs nearly 1.8 tons and has 254 horsepower, so it naturally consumes more fuel than smaller sedans. Using air conditioning in summer adds about 0.8L/100km, and cold starts in winter are also quite fuel-intensive. For daily commuting, my recorded average is 9.2L/100km. Some owners in the car community have achieved 8.5L/100km - it mainly depends on driving technique. Mine's slightly higher as I tend to press the accelerator harder. The official 7.5L/100km rating was measured under ideal road conditions - in real-world driving you should expect to add 1-2L. To save fuel, avoid sudden braking - highway cruise control does help significantly.
The Lynk & Co 05's 2.0T engine paired with an 8AT transmission boasts impressive technical specifications, but its fuel consumption is just average. Compared to similar models, the Honda CR-V hybrid only consumes around 5L, while the Volkswagen Tiguan L 4WD requires about 9L. The key point is that this car runs on 95-octane fuel, making the fuel cost per kilometer 20 cents more expensive than vehicles using 92-octane. Keeping heavy items in the trunk can increase fuel consumption by 0.5L, so I recommend regularly clearing out unused items. The newly replaced Michelin tires save 0.3L compared to the original tires, and maintaining tire pressure at 2.5bar is also crucial. For urban commuting, anticipating traffic flow and minimizing lane changes can help save fuel.
