What is the real fuel consumption of the Li ONE?
2 Answers
The real fuel consumption of the Li ONE is 6.8-9.6L/100km. The currently available Li ONE model includes the 2021 Extended Range 6-Seater version. The official NEDC combined fuel consumption is 1.5L/100km. Among vehicles in the same class, the Voyah FREE has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 1.3L/100km. The fuel consumption of a vehicle is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and ambient temperature. Details are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before red lights will increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger engine displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement, as larger displacement engines typically produce more power and require more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles 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 vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low ambient temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline is less likely to vaporize during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine control unit (ECU) may command higher idle speeds to warm up the engine, further increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Li ONE for over a year now as my daily commuter, and its real-world fuel consumption has been quite reassuring. For regular commuting, I use pure electric mode which barely consumes any fuel. On long trips when the range extender kicks in, the combined fuel consumption stays stable around 7L/100km. In traffic jams, it rises slightly to about 8L, while maintaining steady speed on highways can bring it down to 6L. Weather makes a noticeable difference - summer AC usage increases consumption to 7.5L, and winter heating has similar effects. With good battery range, frequent charging can reduce consumption below 6L. Overall, monthly fuel costs work out to just over 200 RMB, significantly more economical than conventional vehicles. Regular tire pressure checks and maintenance are recommended to maintain optimal efficiency.
