What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Vios?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Vios is 4.9-5.1L/100km. There are currently 6 models of the Vios on sale: the CVT Chuangxing CARE Edition, CVT Chuangxing Edition, CVT Zhixing Edition, and CVT Shuxing Edition, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.9L/100km. The manual Qianxing Edition and manual Chuangxing Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.1L/100km. The above figures are based on the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 5.1-7.0L/100km. Specific factors affecting a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Car weight: Larger and heavier cars tend to consume more fuel. Generally, a small family car with a 1.6L engine and a weight of around 1.2 tons has a fuel consumption of about 7.5 liters (calculated under full load), while an SUV weighing around 1.5 tons has a fuel consumption of about 8.5 liters. Different weights lead to varying fuel consumption. Drag coefficient: Higher drag increases fuel consumption during driving. Cars with better aerodynamics have lower drag coefficients, resulting in lower fuel consumption. Economical RPM: The engine has an optimal torque output point during driving. Maintaining the car's speed at this torque output point significantly reduces fuel consumption. Typically, small-displacement cars achieve this at around 70 km/h, while larger-displacement cars reach it at about 100 km/h. Keeping within this economical RPM range ensures minimal fuel consumption. Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as rapid acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at a red light, can increase fuel consumption.
As a long-time Vios owner, my actual measured fuel consumption typically fluctuates between 5.5 to 7 liters per 100 kilometers, largely depending on driving habits and conditions. My 1.5L automatic version averages 6.5L in city commuting but can drop below 5L on highways, thanks to the intelligent engine design where VVT-i technology optimizes fuel efficiency; manual transmission or 1.3L engine versions might achieve even lower figures. Multiple factors affect fuel consumption: traffic congestion can spike it above 7L, while regular maintenance like oil and air filter changes maintains efficiency, and improper tire pressure or overloading also increases consumption. I recommend smooth acceleration, minimizing hard braking, and sensible use of recirculating air conditioning – implementing these can easily save half a liter per 100km per refuel.
