What is the real fuel consumption of the 10th-generation Accord?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the 10th-generation Accord ranges from 4.2 to 6.5L/100km. Currently, there are 9 models of the 10th-generation Accord available for sale. The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Sharp Cool Edition and Sharp Leader Edition is 4.2L/100km. The Phantom Night Sharp Intelligence Edition and Phantom Night Sharp Premium Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.4L/100km. The Comfort Edition, Luxury Edition, and Premium Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.0L/100km. The Phantom Night Premium Edition and Phantom Night Flagship Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.5L/100km. The above figures are based on the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which measures the fuel consumption data under the NEDC test procedure. The real fuel consumption is higher than these values, ranging from 5.5 to 8.3L/100km. Specific factors affecting car fuel consumption are as follows: Vehicle weight: Larger and heavier cars consume more fuel. Generally, a small family car with a 1.6L engine and a weight of about 1.2 tons consumes approximately 7.5 liters (calculated under full load), while an SUV weighing about 1.5 tons consumes around 8.5 liters. Different weights result in varying fuel consumption. Drag coefficient: Higher drag coefficients increase fuel consumption during driving. Cars with better aerodynamics have lower drag coefficients, leading to lower fuel consumption. Economical RPM: During driving, the engine has an optimal torque output point. Maintaining the car's speed within this torque output point significantly reduces fuel consumption. Generally, small-displacement cars achieve this at around 70 km/h, while larger-displacement cars reach it at about 100 km/h. Keeping within this economical RPM range minimizes fuel consumption. Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors such as rapid acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light can increase fuel consumption.
I've been driving a 10th-generation Accord with the 1.5T engine for my daily commute these years. The actual fuel consumption is usually around 8 to 9 liters per 100 km in the city, but drops to 5.5 to 6.5 liters on the highway. On average, it's about 7.2 to 8 liters. I think fuel consumption largely depends on driving habits. For example, my fuel consumption spikes when I accelerate aggressively, but driving smoothly and braking early to avoid sudden stops saves a lot of fuel. Another key point is regular maintenance. Like me, changing the engine oil on time and checking tire pressure can keep the fuel consumption stable at around 7 liters. Weather also has a big impact; using the AC in summer adds about 0.5 liters. Overall, it's quite suitable for city commuting—not the most fuel-efficient but stable and reliable. With some driving tips, you can manage the pressure on your wallet.
