Why is the fuel consumption of Hongqi H5 high?
1 Answers
Hongqi H5 has a combined fuel consumption of 6.2-6.4L/100km. Currently, there are 6 models of Hongqi H5 available for sale: the DCT Qiyue Edition and DCT Qiyun Edition, with a combined fuel consumption of 6.2L/100km. The Automatic Zhilian Qiyun Edition, Automatic Zhilian Qichang Edition, Automatic Zhilian Qiling Edition, and Automatic Zhilian Qixiang Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 6.4L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, around 8.0L. Specific factors affecting car fuel consumption are as follows: Car weight: Larger and heavier cars tend to consume more fuel. Generally, a small family car with a 1.6L engine and a weight of about 1.2 tons has a fuel consumption of approximately 7.5 liters (calculated under full load), while an SUV weighing about 1.5 tons has a fuel consumption of about 8.5 liters. Different weights result in varying fuel consumption. Drag coefficient: Higher drag increases fuel consumption during driving. Cars with better aerodynamics have lower drag, leading to lower fuel consumption. Economical RPM: During driving, the engine has an optimal torque output point where fuel consumption is minimized. Generally, small-displacement cars reach this point at around 70 km/h, while larger-displacement cars achieve it at about 100 km/h. Maintaining speed within this economical RPM range results in the least fuel consumption. Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors such as rapid acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before red lights can increase fuel consumption.
