What is the real urban fuel consumption of the Lynk & Co 03?
3 Answers
Lynk & Co 03 actual measured comprehensive fuel consumption: driving distance of 605 kilometers, fuel refill volume of 47.98 liters, average fuel consumption of 7.93L/100km. Urban fuel consumption will be slightly higher. Here is a brief introduction about the Lynk & Co 03: 1. Introduction: The Lynk & Co 03 is the first sedan product of the Lynk & Co brand and the first sedan built on the CMA basic modular architecture. The Lynk & Co 03 2.0TD adds driver's seat memory and driver's seat ventilation based on the configuration of the 1.5TD model. 2. Configuration: Three-screen interaction, cloud connectivity, remote APP control, 17 intelligent driving assistance technologies, active and passive safety technologies, etc.
During my daily commute in the urban area with the Lynk & Co 03, I've noticed significant fluctuations in fuel consumption. During the morning rush hour with half an hour of traffic congestion, the displayed fuel consumption typically ranges between 9.5-10.8L, and it increases by another 0.5L when the air conditioning is on. On weekends with better road conditions, it can drop to around 8.3L, but overall, it's about 20% higher than the official data. The most fuel-consuming situations are frequent stops at intersections, where you just get the RPM up and then have to hit the brakes again. I recommend enabling the auto start-stop function, which saves a lot during long red lights. Also, remember to check the tire pressure regularly, as low pressure can silently increase fuel consumption.
I've been driving this 1.5T 03 for about half a year, mainly commuting 20km in the city center. Based on daily fuel consumption records, my actual urban fuel economy averages around 10L/100km with minor fluctuations. On particularly congested rainy days, it can spike to 11L, while during late-night smooth traffic, I've achieved as low as 8L. The car's computer displays an average about 0.3L higher than my manual calculations. Personally, I find the Eco mode doesn't help much in heavy traffic, though the start-stop system proves very useful for routes with frequent traffic lights. Using 0W-20 engine oil saves slightly more fuel than 5W-30, but the difference doesn't exceed 0.2L.
