What is the highway fuel consumption of the Tang DMI?

[ThomasDella]

The highway fuel consumption of the Tang DMI is 6.55 liters. Relevant information about car fuel consumption is as follows: 1. Constant-speed fuel consumption: This refers to the fuel economy indicator when the car is driving at a constant speed on a good road surface. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for cars on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. 2. Road cycle fuel consumption: This is the fuel economy indicator measured when the car is driving in repeated cycles according to specified speed and time norms on the road, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption. The speed and time norms specify various driving conditions included in each cycle, as well as the shifting moments, braking and stopping times, driving speed, acceleration, and braking deceleration values for each cycle.

I've driven my BYD Tang DM-i on the highway several times, usually cruising at 120km/h, with the fuel consumption showing between 5.5 to 6.5L/100km. On my recent trip from Guangzhou to Shenzhen, carrying three friends plus luggage and with the AC on the whole time, the average consumption showed around 6.2L. The DM-i system prioritizes direct engine drive at highway speeds, which is efficient, but if the speed exceeds 130km/h, the increased wind resistance can push fuel consumption above 7L. I usually use ACC cruise control to avoid sudden acceleration, which I feel saves about 0.5L. The cabin is quiet, making long drives less tiring, and compared to conventional fuel cars, it saves at least 2-3L, which is great value. For maintenance, remember to change the engine oil regularly and check tire pressure, as low pressure increases resistance. Overall, I'm very satisfied that such a large SUV can be so fuel-efficient.

As someone who frequently tests vehicles, the Tang DM-i's actual highway fuel consumption is often around 6L/100km. The official WLTC standard data is 5.5L, but actual results vary depending on test conditions. Using testing tools, I found that at speeds between 100-110km/h with steady driving, the average was 5.8L; at 120km/h or higher, increased air resistance raises consumption to over 6.5L. Factors affecting consumption include load: carrying 100kg increases fuel use by 10%; using the air conditioning adds about 0.2L; and driving habits, such as sudden braking or aggressive acceleration, waste more fuel. For highway driving, it's recommended to maintain a steady speed, use eco mode, and regularly check the battery and engine condition. Compared to pure electric or conventional fuel vehicles, the DM-i's hybrid system shows clear fuel-saving advantages, making it ideal for long trips. Always check the latest data when purchasing, as there may be slight variations between different model years.

The secret to fuel efficiency in the Tang DM-i on highways is maintaining a steady speed: averaging around 6L/100km. I've tested keeping speeds between 100-120km/h, with fuel consumption dropping as low as 5.5L, but it jumps to 7L at 130km/h. Factors affecting this include speed, wind resistance, and load, with the DM-i engine operating efficiently at high speeds. Avoid sudden acceleration, as using the AC has minimal impact, and maintaining proper tire pressure is crucial. Regular maintenance prevents increased fuel consumption. Overall, it's more economical and eco-friendly compared to traditional fuel vehicles.
