What is the real fuel consumption of the 2021 Volvo XC60?
1 Answers
The 2021 Volvo XC60 has six models. Among them, five models—the 2021 T5 AWD Inscription Luxury, AWD Momentum Luxury, AWD Momentum Sport, AWD Essential Luxury, and AWD Essential Sport—are equipped with a 250-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.9L per 100km. The 2021 T4 Essential Luxury model, equipped with a 190-horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.5L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of different 2021 XC60 models is the same. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 250-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.9L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 70L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 70/7.9*100=886km. For models equipped with a 190-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.5L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 70L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 70/7.5*100=933km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and ambient temperature. Specific factors that can 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, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually 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 unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low ambient temperature: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not vaporize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to burn, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
