What is the real fuel consumption of the new Santana 1.5?
1 Answers
The new Santana 1.5L has a total of 4 models, including the Santana 2021 1.5L Manual Comfort Edition, Fashion Edition, Automatic Fashion Edition, and Comfort Edition. These models equipped with a 112 horsepower engine have an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.6L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity of different models of the new Santana 1.5L is the same. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 112 horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 52.8L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 52.8/5.6*100=943km. 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. Specific factors that can increase 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, 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. Cars with greater weight also consume more fuel 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, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases 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.
