What is the urban fuel consumption of the Corolla?
2 Answers
The urban fuel consumption of the Corolla is approximately 7.3L per 100km for the manual transmission model and around 6.8L per 100km for the automatic transmission model. Below is a brief introduction to the Corolla's fuel consumption: 1. It is evident that the manual transmission model has significantly higher urban fuel consumption compared to the automatic transmission model. The high-end versions generally consume even more fuel, with an average urban fuel consumption reaching up to 7.8L per 100km. However, in terms of suburban fuel consumption, both models perform similarly, maintaining around 5.1L per 100km. 2. Maintaining good driving habits can effectively reduce fuel consumption. Idling consumes a lot of fuel, so minimize idle parking time. Rapid acceleration and hard pressing of the accelerator pedal consume the most fuel. Poor control of low-speed gear shifting does not truly save fuel, and prolonged low-gear driving can also increase fuel consumption. Frequent lane changes and curved driving will both increase fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Toyota Corolla 1.8L hybrid in the city for almost two years now. During my daily commute in rush hour, the fuel consumption is around 4.5 to 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers. It can drop to just over 4 liters when I don't use the air conditioning, but in summer with AC on or during traffic jams, it can go up to 6 liters. I think many factors affect fuel consumption, like driving habits - gently pressing the accelerator without sudden acceleration. If there are many traffic lights or frequent hard braking, fuel consumption increases. A friend drives a 2.0L gasoline version Corolla, which often consumes around 9 liters in city driving, and it's not unusual to reach 11 liters during rush hour traffic. The Corolla is quite fuel-efficient overall, very suitable for city life. I recommend regular tire pressure checks and oil changes to maintain stable fuel consumption. In terms of fuel costs, with my monthly 200-kilometer commute, I've saved quite a lot on gas money.
