What is the highway fuel consumption of the Santana?
2 Answers
The highway fuel consumption of the Santana is approximately 5L per 100 kilometers. Below are the specific details of the new Santana: 1. Configuration: The new Santana is equipped with RKA tire pressure monitoring system as standard across all models, along with ESP electronic stability program, HBA emergency brake assist, ASR traction control system, and other safety features. 2. Powertrain: It is powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. The National V version delivers a maximum power of 81kW (110PS) and a peak torque of 150N·m, while the National VI version offers a maximum power of 82kW (111PS) and a peak torque of 145N·m. It is paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've tested the Santana's performance on the highway quite a few times before. Its fuel consumption is generally around 6 liters per 100 kilometers, but this depends on the specific model and driving habits. For example, my old Santana is most fuel-efficient when maintaining a speed between 90 to 100 km/h, with consumption fluctuating between 5.5 to 6.5 liters. If you push it above 120 km/h, the fuel consumption might jump to 7 liters. Factors include vehicle weight, engine efficiency, and external elements like wind resistance and load. I recommend regularly checking tire pressure, as under-inflated tires increase friction and fuel consumption. Also, avoid blasting the AC too hard to save some fuel. Before long trips, get a maintenance check to clean carbon deposits, ensuring smoother engine operation. Overall, highway driving is much more fuel-efficient than city driving, but don't overlook these details—it's good for both your wallet and the environment.
