What is the joke about Luxgen's high fuel consumption?
2 Answers
If the fuel consumption of a regular SUV in the same class is 11L/100km in pure city driving, then the fuel consumption of a Luxgen would be at least 14L/100km. Here are the specific details: 1. The combined fuel consumption of Luxgen as per the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology reaches 11.6L/100km, with suburban driving consuming up to 9L/100km and city driving up to 15.9L/100km. 2. Luxgen is equipped with a 2.0T engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power output of 188 horsepower. As a 2.0T turbocharged engine, producing only 188 horsepower, it falls 64 horsepower short compared to the 252 horsepower of the Haval H9 among the four vehicles.
I've been driving a Luxgen for several years, and fuel consumption is indeed a major issue. It feels like I have to refuel every hundred kilometers, as if there's a hole in the fuel tank. The popular jokes online, such as the owner's life revolving around trips to the gas station, are painfully accurate. From my driving experience, it's probably due to Luxgen's outdated engine technology, heavy body weight, and lack of energy efficiency, resulting in exceptionally high fuel consumption per kilometer. Once, I drove 300 kilometers for an outing and had to refuel three times—the fuel cost was even higher than the toll fees. Although the car offers spacious interiors and a comfortable ride, the frequent refueling expenses are outrageous, especially with rising fuel prices. I'd advise anyone considering a Luxgen to check user feedback first to avoid unexpected costs later.
