What is the real fuel consumption of the 2021 Haval M6 Plus?

2021 Haval M6 Plus has 5 models: 1.5T Manual Elite Smart Connect, 1.5T Manual Comfort, Manual Luxury Smart Connect, Manual Liu Yan Special Edition, and DCT Elite Smart Connect. The two automatic models have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.9L per 100km. The two manual models have an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.1L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of all 2021 Haval M6 Plus models is 55L. The distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is as follows: For the two automatic models, the distance is 55/6.9*100=797km. For the two manual models, the distance is 55/7.1*100=774km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, will increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacement consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement generally means higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to burn, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer controls the car to use higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
My friend has been driving a 2021 Haval M6 Plus for over a year, with an actual fuel consumption generally ranging between 8-10 liters per 100 kilometers, based on his daily records. He mainly drives in the city, where fuel consumption can spike above 10 liters during traffic jams, while it drops to around 8 liters on highways. He believes the key factor affecting fuel consumption is driving habits—frequent hard braking or aggressive acceleration burns fuel quickly. Additionally, load matters; fuel consumption increases when the back seats are fully loaded with luggage or when there are more passengers. He recommends keeping a monthly fuel consumption log for reliability, as it helps track trends and adjust driving habits accordingly.
