What is the real fuel consumption of the 10th-generation Accord gasoline version?
4 Answers
10th-generation Accord gasoline version has a combined fuel consumption of 4.2-6.5L/100km. There are currently 9 models of the 10th-generation Accord on sale. The Hybrid EX and Hybrid EX-L versions have a combined fuel consumption of 4.2L/100km. The Hybrid EX-L Nightfall Edition and Hybrid Touring Nightfall Edition versions have a combined fuel consumption of 4.4L/100km. The LX, Sport, and EX versions have a combined fuel consumption of 6.0L/100km. The EX-L Nightfall Edition and Touring Nightfall Edition versions have a combined fuel consumption of 6.5L/100km. The above figures are NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The real fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 5.5-8.3L/100km. Specific factors affecting car fuel consumption are as follows: Car weight: Larger and heavier cars consume more fuel. Generally, a small family car with a 1.6L engine weighs about 1.2 tons and consumes about 7.5 liters (calculated under full load), while an SUV model weighing about 1.5 tons consumes about 8.5 liters. Different weights result in different fuel consumption. Air resistance: The greater the air resistance, the more fuel the car consumes while driving. If the car has a better aerodynamic design, the air resistance is lower, and the fuel consumption will be lower. Economical RPM: The engine has a most economical torque output point during driving. As long as the car's speed remains within this torque output point for a long time, the fuel consumption will be greatly reduced. Generally, for small-displacement cars, it is about 70 km/h, and for large-displacement cars, it is about 100 km/h. Maintaining speed within this economical RPM range will result in the least fuel consumption. Driving style: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not releasing the throttle in advance when approaching a red light, will increase fuel consumption.
I've been driving the 10th-generation Accord gasoline version for almost two years, mostly for urban commuting, with an average real fuel consumption around 8.5L/100km, which drops to 6.5L on highways. Many factors affect this: in traffic jams, fuel consumption can spike above 10L, and using the AC adds another 0.5L. With proper maintenance, like changing the engine oil and checking tire pressure every 5,000km, it stabilizes around 8L. I recommend new drivers focus on smooth driving—avoid sudden acceleration and braking—to save significant fuel costs in the long run. Overall, while the car's fuel consumption isn't low, it's fairly balanced and much more efficient than some SUVs. Based on my daily experience, choosing optimal driving times with good road conditions is also crucial, and weekend long trips yield even lower fuel consumption.
As a commuter driving an Accord daily for a 30km round trip on mixed roads, the actual average fuel consumption is 8.8L/100km. With AC on in summer, it rises to 9.5L, and slightly higher during cold starts in winter. Maintaining tire pressure at 2.5Bar can optimize it to 8.5L. By tracking data in my car app, I noticed fuel consumption increases faster in areas with many traffic lights, so avoiding peak hours saves fuel. The Accord's engine efficiency is good, though the actual consumption is higher than the official 6.6L rating, likely typical for city driving. Regular maintenance like cleaning the air filter helps significantly – no major issues in three years. While fuel efficiency isn't the lowest, the comfort and reliability make it worthwhile.
The real-world fuel consumption of the 10th-generation Accord gasoline version is generally 8-9 liters per 100 km, while the official data of 6.6 liters is on the low side. Engine technologies like turbocharging are efficient at high speeds, but consumption can rise to 10 liters in low-speed traffic jams. Driving habits have a significant impact—smooth and steady driving maintains constant speed and saves fuel. I use an OBD device to monitor daily consumption, keeping it around 8.2 liters. Regular maintenance is crucial; changing the oil every 5,000 km ensures engine health. Tire wear can also increase fuel consumption, so periodic checks are recommended. Real user feedback shows highway consumption as low as 6 liters, but city driving averages higher. Overall, it’s a reasonable choice for a midsize sedan.
