What is the real fuel consumption of the Volvo XC40?
1 Answers
Volvo XC40's officially announced combined fuel consumption is 6.6-7.4L/100km. There are currently 6 models of the Volvo XC40 on sale. The combined fuel consumption of the Smart Edition is 6.6L/100km. The combined fuel consumption of the AWD Smart Edition, AWD Premium Luxury Edition, AWD Premium Sport Edition, AWD Ultimate Sport Edition, and AWD Ultimate Luxury Edition is 7.4L/100km. The above figures are NEDC combined 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 7.5-11.0L/100km. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Clean engine carbon deposits. Excessive engine carbon deposits are a significant cause, mainly due to using unsuitable fuel. It is recommended to add a certain amount of cleaner when refueling. If the effect is not obvious, it indicates a large amount of carbon deposits in the engine. In this case, the car must be taken to a 4S shop for professional cleaning of the engine carbon deposits by technicians. Check the oxygen sensor. As an internal control unit of the car, the oxygen sensor mainly monitors the fuel-air ratio of the engine. Once it is damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the fuel-air ratio, leading to a sudden increase in fuel consumption. When the oxygen sensor is damaged, the exhaust pipe will emit darker-colored exhaust gases during driving, and the oxygen sensor should be replaced at this time. Regularly replace the three filters. During vehicle use, the oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter must be replaced regularly. If they are not replaced for a long time, they will become dirty and send incorrect information to the engine control unit, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion and increased engine carbon deposits. Check the electronic control unit. Although the engine's electronic control unit is highly reliable, in older vehicles, various faults are inevitable.
