What is the real fuel consumption of the 2021 Sylphy?
3 Answers
The real fuel consumption of the 2021 Sylphy is 4.9L/100km. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Control your speed: The most economical speed is when the car is driving in direct gear or overdrive, which results in the lowest fuel consumption. Only at a certain speed will fuel consumption be minimized. Therefore, it is advisable to drive at a moderate speed in direct gear or high gear to save fuel. 2. Gear selection: Gear selection and shifting actions greatly affect fuel consumption. When starting, choose the appropriate gear based on the load and road conditions. 3. Proper coasting: Utilize downhill coasting—when the slope is not too steep and safety is ensured—to save fuel by appropriately coasting downhill. 4. Car maintenance: Keep the intake system clean and unobstructed. Frequently clean the air filter, ensure belt tension is appropriate, maintain proper tire pressure, and regularly adjust brake shoe clearance to avoid friction.
I've been driving a 2021 Sylphy for almost two years, mainly commuting between suburbs. The real average fuel consumption is around 7.5L per 100km. During rush hour traffic in the city, it can go up to 8.5L, but drops below 6L when cruising at 80-100km/h on highways, which is quite fuel-efficient. Driving habits significantly affect fuel consumption - I prefer gentle acceleration without stomping the throttle, maintaining steady speed, and avoiding routes with many traffic lights, which saves considerable fuel. In car owner groups, some aggressive drivers report consumption over 9L. However, with proper maintenance like 5,000km oil changes, tire pressure checks, and using appropriate fuel, consumption can be kept around 7L. Winter heating consumes less than AC. On long trips, a full tank easily covers 400+ km. Monthly fuel costs range 400-500 RMB for household use - very economical compared to high-displacement vehicles.
The actual fuel consumption of the 2021 Sylphy during my over one year of driving is quite economical, averaging 7.6L per 100km, which costs about 57 yuan per 100km at a fuel price of 7.5 yuan. On highways, it can drop to 5.5L, costing 41 yuan, but during peak urban hours, it can exceed 8L, reaching over 60 yuan, a significant difference. To save money, I record the expenses for each tank of fuel and refuel during member discount hours, saving 30-50 yuan per month. Driving style is crucial—avoid frequent sudden acceleration and braking, maintain moderate gear shifts, and minimize coasting in neutral to reduce fuel costs. Long-term maintenance is most important; regular checks of the air filter and spark plugs extend engine life and slightly lower fuel consumption. Always use genuine fuel to prevent engine damage. Overall, the Sylphy's monthly expenses don’t exceed 600 yuan, making it ideal for budget-conscious individuals, with much lower initial costs compared to some electric vehicles.
