Why is the fuel consumption of the new Roewe i5 so high?
2 Answers
Roewe i5 new car fuel consumption will be relatively high, after the running-in period fuel consumption can be reduced. Here are some ways to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Start slowly: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. 2. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep tire pressure at the level recommended by the manufacturer. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value, fuel consumption increases by 1%. 3. Accelerate gently: When accelerating sharply, the electronic control system will automatically increase the fuel supply, increasing fuel consumption. 4. Minimize heavy loads: Try to carry fewer items in the car, as increasing the vehicle's load will increase fuel consumption.
High fuel consumption in new cars is quite common, especially for models like the Roewe i5 that are just starting out. The engine and transmission are still in the break-in period, and the parts haven't fully smoothed out yet, so it's normal to consume more fuel. My first car also had higher fuel consumption when it was new, but it noticeably dropped after driving over a thousand kilometers. I suggest not rushing to conclusions and trying to maintain steady driving, avoiding sudden acceleration or braking, as this can help the parts adapt faster. Also, regularly check the engine oil and filters to ensure they're not dirty and affecting efficiency. After a few months, if the consumption is still high, it's worth visiting the 4S shop to check for hidden issues, such as a clogged exhaust system or sensor malfunctions. In short, a new car is like a partner in the break-in period—it needs some time to adapt to your driving style to perform at its best.
