What is the pure gasoline fuel consumption of the BYD Tang DM when the battery is depleted?
3 Answers
BYD Tang DM pure gasoline fuel consumption per 100 kilometers test results: Fuel consumption: 6.55 liters, driving distance: 109.4 kilometers, average speed ≍30km/h; actual measured fuel consumption ≍6L/100km. Below is an introduction to the BYD Tang DMI: 1. Model. The BYD Tang DM is a mid-size SUV, with a length, width, and height of 4870 millimeters (mm), 1950 millimeters (mm), and 1725 millimeters (mm) respectively, and a wheelbase of 2820 millimeters (mm). 2. Powertrain. This model is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine across all variants. The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine of the BYD Tang DMI delivers 192 horsepower and a maximum torque of 320 Newton-meters. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The use of aluminum alloy cylinder head and block reduces the weight of the engine, thereby improving the vehicle's handling and fuel efficiency.
I've been driving the BYD Tang DM for almost two years as the family's main car. When the battery is depleted, the pure gasoline consumption is about 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers. Last time I went on a trip and didn't have time to charge, relying solely on gasoline for highway driving. The fuel gauge dropped faster than usual, and the car's power felt slightly strained, probably because the engine had to both drive the car and charge the battery. I usually try to use electric mode for city driving to save fuel, and I avoid driving with a depleted battery whenever possible, otherwise, the monthly fuel cost could increase by over a hundred yuan. Maintaining a regular charging habit is crucial, and starting a long trip with a full charge is more economical. Driving with a depleted battery doesn't affect safety, but the fuel consumption isn't ideal.
As a hybrid car enthusiast, I have some insights into the Tang DM's fuel consumption in battery-depleted mode. In pure fuel-driven mode with depleted battery, the fuel consumption is approximately 6.5 to 7.5 liters, though actual driving conditions may cause variations. Feedback from car owner groups mostly centers around 7 liters. The reason is straightforward: the engine needs to recharge the battery in this state, increasing load and reducing efficiency. I recommend avoiding frequent use in battery-depleted mode to prevent accumulated fuel costs. Hybrid systems are designed to optimize energy consumption, and depleted battery mode is merely a transitional state—it's best to recharge promptly.
