What is the officially announced fuel consumption of the Xingyue L?
2 Answers
The officially announced comprehensive fuel consumption is 7.8L per 100 kilometers. Here are some related introductions about fuel consumption: 1. Habits and road conditions: Fuel consumption is greatly related to driving habits and road conditions. Avoid heavy acceleration and start gradually for the most fuel efficiency. To save fuel, avoid pressing the accelerator heavily when starting, as heavy acceleration consumes 2 to 3 times more fuel than starting at a normal speed. 2. Braking: Maintaining distance and avoiding frequent braking can save more fuel. If you don't maintain distance, you may need to brake frequently on the road. When braking, the gear of an automatic transmission car will drop, and the car will have to accelerate again from a lower gear. Starting from a standstill or a lower gear requires the engine to consume more fuel.
I've been driving the Geely Xingyue L gasoline version for almost a year now. The officially announced fuel consumption data is around 8.1L/100km under comprehensive driving conditions. In actual driving, city traffic congestion can push it up to around 10L, while on highways it drops to just over 7L. Driving habits significantly affect fuel consumption - maintaining a steady speed and avoiding sudden braking can easily bring consumption below 8L. When carrying luggage or more passengers, fuel consumption increases, so it's advisable to plan trips in advance to avoid overloading. Additionally, low tire pressure increases resistance; I regularly check tire pressure to keep comprehensive fuel consumption around 8.5L. After driving for a while, I've realized the official data serves as a basic reference, but actual fuel consumption is closely tied to road conditions and habits. For more peace of mind, considering the hybrid version might be more economical in the long run, saving significant fuel costs.
