What is the real fuel consumption of the JAC Refine M4 gasoline version?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the JAC Refine M4 gasoline version is 9.3-10.0L/100km. Currently, there are 6 models of the JAC Refine M4 gasoline version on sale: the manual comfort version, manual business travel version, manual business version, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 9.3L/100km. The manual business version (China VI) and manual comfort version (China VI) have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 9.6L/100km. The automatic business travel version has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 10.0L/100km. The above figures are NEDC comprehensive 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 8.0-13.5L. 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. The specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not releasing the throttle in advance when encountering a red light, will increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight will also have higher fuel consumption 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 the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low during cold starts, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving my JAC Refine M4 gasoline version for over three years, and the real fuel consumption depends entirely on usage. For city trips shuttling passengers with frequent traffic jams, the dashboard shows around 12L/100km, and add another liter if using AC. Highway driving is much more comfortable - maintaining 100km/h cruise control stays around 8.5L/100km, with my personal best at 7.9L. My typical combined consumption averages 10-11L/100km, with the 65L fuel tank giving me 600+ km range. I recommend installing a fuel tracking app - after six months of data recording with Xiaoxiong Fuel Consumption, I found maintaining tire pressure at 2.8 bar instead of 2.5 saves about 0.5L/100km, and clearing trunk clutter also helps. Regular oil changes don't significantly affect consumption, but a dirty air filter definitely increases fuel usage.
