What is the urban fuel consumption of the hybrid Accord?
2 Answers
The Accord currently has 9 models on sale. Among them, the Accord-2018-Sharp-Hybrid-2.0L Sharp Premium Edition China VI and Sharp Intelligent Edition China VI, totaling 2 models equipped with a 146 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 4.4L per 100km. The Accord-2018-Sharp-Hybrid-2.0L Sharp Leading Edition China VI and Sharp Cool Edition China VI, totaling 2 models equipped with a 146 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 4.2L per 100km. The Accord-2018-260TURBO Flagship Edition China VI, Premium Edition China VI, Luxury Edition China VI, and Elite Edition China VI, totaling 4 models equipped with a 194 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6L per 100km. The Accord-2018-230TURBO Comfort Edition China VI, totaling 1 model equipped with a 177 horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.4L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of different Accord models is the same. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 146 horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 48.5L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 48.5/4.4*100=1102km. Models equipped with a 146 horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 48.5L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 48.5/4.2*100=1155km. Models equipped with a 194 horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 56L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 56/6*100=933km. Models equipped with a 177 horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 56L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 56/6.4*100=875km. 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 a car's 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, will increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight will have higher fuel consumption 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 car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low during cold starts, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving a hybrid Accord for over two years for my daily urban commute, with an average fuel consumption around 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers, which is much more economical than gasoline cars. My driving habits play a significant role, such as smooth acceleration, less braking, and the system automatically switching to electric motor power in traffic jams to avoid engine idling and fuel waste. Fuel consumption slightly increases with heavy air conditioning use in summer and slightly decreases battery efficiency in cold winters, but overall it's very economical. Urban road conditions are complex, but the Accord's regenerative braking system efficiently recovers energy, making frequent stops and starts more efficient. If you often drive in the city, I recommend activating Eco mode, which can further reduce fuel consumption to around 5.2 liters. This car not only saves on fuel costs but is also environmentally friendly, allowing you to travel more kilometers on a single tank, making it ideal for daily commuters. The battery life is also durable, with virtually no major issues. Pay attention to road conditions and driving style, and saving fuel becomes an easy task.
