Why is the fuel consumption of the new Roewe i5 so high?
2 Answers
The high fuel consumption of the new Roewe i5 is due to the break-in period, poor driving habits, and some objective factors. The specific reasons are as follows: Break-in period: New cars are all in the break-in period. During this period, the various components of the car need to adapt and coordinate with each other. However, after the break-in period, the fuel consumption will definitely decrease to some extent. Poor driving habits: Some drivers enjoy aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration and hard braking. Even a new car with low fuel consumption will see increased fuel consumption due to such habits, and it may also damage the car, which is not worth the cost. Objective factors: For example, during traffic congestion, frequent starting and braking can significantly increase the car's fuel consumption.
I just bought a new Roewe i5, and the initial fuel consumption was surprisingly high, which really startled me. After discussing with some car-savvy friends around me, I realized it might be due to my driving habits. During the break-in period, I couldn't resist stepping hard on the accelerator, thinking it would make the engine more powerful, but it only wasted fuel unnecessarily. It's recommended to gently press the accelerator when starting during the break-in period, avoid sudden braking and rapid acceleration, and make more use of cruise control to maintain a steady speed. Additionally, try not to keep the air conditioning on unnecessarily during city traffic jams, as urban driving conditions already consume more fuel. After applying these tips, my fuel consumption dropped to normal levels within a month. The Roewe i5 is quite a good car overall, but the key is to patiently adapt your driving habits during the break-in period.
