What is the real fuel consumption of the C3-XR automatic?
2 Answers
The Citroën C3-XR models equipped with a 1.6L engine have two powertrain options: a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic. The actual fuel consumption is approximately 7.6L/100Km and 8.08L/100Km, respectively. Below is additional information: Powertrain: The Citroën C3-XR offers three engine options: a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 117 horsepower, a 1.2T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 136 horsepower, and a 1.6T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 167 horsepower. Different engines: The actual fuel consumption of the Citroën C3-XR varies depending on the engine used, but none of the Citroën C3-XR models are considered fuel-inefficient.
I've been driving a Citroen C3-XR automatic for three years, so I have a lot to say about its real fuel consumption. For daily commutes in the city with frequent traffic lights, it can reach 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, and it's even more fuel-consuming when using the air conditioner in summer. On highways, it's very fuel-efficient, steadily driving under 6 liters. The biggest factor affecting fuel consumption is driving habits—I've tried gentler acceleration and less braking, which can reduce fuel consumption by about 1 liter. The car's condition also matters; for example, insufficient tire pressure increases rolling resistance, and choosing energy-saving tires when replacing them helps a bit. Regular maintenance is crucial too, with engine cleaning and oil changes maintaining efficiency. Overall, this car is quite suitable for families, with fuel consumption fluctuating between 7 to 9 liters, which is still manageable.
