What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of the Haval H6?
3 Answers
The Haval H6 offers three models. The H6 Sport version has a combined fuel consumption of 6.6L/100km, which is at a leading level. Meanwhile, the all-new Haval H6 and Haval H6 Coupe are both equipped with the 'Double Top Ten' powertrain combination, featuring a nationally top-ten engine and a world-class top-ten transmission, achieving a combined fuel consumption of 6.8L/100km. Below are some suggestions to improve fuel economy: 1. Avoid prolonged idling or low-speed driving. If you occasionally wait by the roadside or temporarily pull over, idling the engine still consumes fuel, significantly increasing the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Moreover, under such stagnant or low-speed conditions, the relatively low engine speed leads to incomplete combustion in the engine cylinders, which can cause carbon buildup and further increase fuel consumption. Therefore, avoiding prolonged idling and low-speed driving is crucial for reducing fuel consumption. 2. Avoid excessive vehicle load and a full fuel tank. The heavier the vehicle's load, the higher the fuel consumption during driving.
I've been driving a Haval H6 for four years, with an average fuel consumption of around 8 liters per 100 kilometers, which largely depends on how I drive. In city traffic with frequent stops and starts, the fuel consumption can soar above 9 liters, but it drops to just over 7 liters when driving smoothly. On highways with steady driving, it can go as low as under 6 liters. I believe driving habits have the biggest impact—avoiding sudden acceleration and maintaining proper tire pressure can save a significant amount on fuel costs over a year. Regular maintenance is also crucial; after switching to high-quality engine oil, my fuel consumption became much more stable. I recommend using a mobile app to record each refueling for simple statistics, helping to control expenses more accurately. Using the heater in winter or the air conditioning in summer might increase fuel consumption by about 0.5 liters, which isn't surprising, but I've found that driving with windows down at high speeds actually consumes more fuel than adjusting the air conditioning. Overall, the Haval H6 is quite reliable, and with some practice, you can find the fuel-saving method that works best for you.
As a long-term automotive researcher, I observe that the fuel consumption of the Haval H6 is significantly influenced by its engine type. The new 1.5T turbocharged engine has an official fuel consumption rating of 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers, while actual tests show urban driving often reaches 8-9 liters, dropping to 6-7 liters on highways. Compared to the older naturally aspirated engine, the new model optimizes fuel efficiency with technologies like direct fuel injection and lightweight design, saving an average of 1 liter. Weight and road conditions are also crucial; fuel consumption can easily increase by 10% when fully loaded or climbing hills, while it stabilizes effortlessly on flat highways. Personal experiments with eco-driving mode show a reduction of about 0.5 liters. Comparing similar SUV models, the Haval H6 isn't the most efficient, but it offers affordability and low maintenance costs. Regular checks on spark plugs and air filters to prevent carbon buildup can help maintain stable long-term fuel consumption.
