What is the fuel consumption per kilometer for the Fista?
2 Answers
There are 4 models of the Fista currently on sale. Among them, the 2021 model - 280TGDi-GLX Elite Edition, equipped with a 190 horsepower engine, has a fuel consumption of 0.058L per kilometer. The 2021 model - 280TGDi-DLX Luxury Edition, equipped with a 204 horsepower engine, has a fuel consumption of 0.06L per kilometer. The 2021 model - 280TGDi-Luxury-Sport Enjoy Edition and Enjoy Plus Edition, both equipped with a 204 horsepower engine, have a fuel consumption of 0.061L per kilometer. The fuel tank capacity of the Fista is 53L. The distance each model can travel on a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 190 horsepower engine can travel 53/0.058=913km on a full tank of fuel. The 2021 model - 280TGDi-DLX Luxury Edition can travel 53/0.06=883km on a full tank of fuel. The 2021 model - 280TGDi-Luxury-Sport Enjoy Edition and Enjoy Plus Edition can travel 53/0.061=868km on a full tank of fuel. 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 fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before encountering a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher 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: 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 gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up the car, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've test-driven the Hyundai Fista several times, and my impression is that its fuel consumption is quite economical, making it a reliable choice for daily commuting. Based on my experience, the average fuel consumption is around 6 to 7 liters per 100 kilometers, which translates to approximately 0.06 to 0.07 liters per kilometer—this depends on driving conditions. In congested urban areas, it often rises above 7 liters, while steady highway driving can bring it down to around 6 liters. To reduce fuel consumption, I recommend adopting smooth driving habits: avoid sudden acceleration, use cruise control for fuel efficiency, and avoid carrying unnecessary heavy loads. Regular vehicle maintenance can also save money—for example, keeping tire pressure at the recommended level can reduce fuel consumption by 1-2%. Overall, the Fista is among the more fuel-efficient options in the compact car segment. If you drive 1,000 kilometers per month, the cost per kilometer is less than 0.5 yuan at current fuel prices, making it a cost-effective choice for everyday use.
