What is the real fuel consumption of the Yidong Blue Whale Edition 1.4t?
2 Answers
Yidong Blue Whale Edition 1.4t has a real fuel consumption of around 7 liters per 100 kilometers. Below are some relevant extended information: 1. Definition of fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: It is a theoretical indicator of the fuel consumption of a vehicle traveling a certain distance at a certain speed on the road. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated based on specified speed driving to determine the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data of the model. 2. Calculation method of fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers = Volume of a certain amount of fuel (liters) ÷ Distance the car can travel with that amount of fuel (kilometers) × 100.
I've been using the Changan Eado Blue Whale Edition 1.4T for nearly a year, primarily for daily urban commuting and weekend trips. Regarding actual fuel consumption, while the official data claims a combined cycle of 7L/100km, my real-world records show an average fuel consumption of around 9L. In congested urban areas, consumption can peak at 11L/100km, whereas highway cruising brings it down below 7L. Multiple factors influence this: driving habits are crucial—aggressive acceleration can increase consumption by 1L, while gentle driving saves fuel; tire pressure is also important—maintaining it around the recommended 230kPa prevents an extra 0.5L consumption if too low; regular maintenance like 5,000km oil changes and air filter cleaning preserves engine efficiency; summer AC usage adds about 0.8L, with less impact in winter. Overall, this car delivers strong performance, and its fuel consumption is mid-range among compact sedans.
