Why is the fuel consumption of the Sylphy 11 liters?

[VonAdam]

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Sylphy is 3.9-6.1L/100km. There are 11 models of the 2022 Sylphy on sale, among which the comprehensive fuel consumption of the 4 e-POWER models is 3.9L/100km. The comprehensive fuel consumption of the automatic transmission Yuexiang and Zhixiang versions is 4.9L/100km. The comprehensive fuel consumption of the automatic transmission Comfort, Luxury, and Shexiang versions is 5.2L/100km. The comprehensive fuel consumption of the automatic transmission Shuxiang version is 5.3L/100km. The comprehensive fuel consumption of the manual Comfort version is 6.1L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 6.3-12.0L/100km. The specific factors affecting car fuel consumption are as follows: Car weight: The larger and heavier the car, the more fuel it consumes. Generally, a small family car with a 1.6L engine and a weight of about 1.2 tons consumes about 7.5 liters (calculated under full load conditions), while an SUV model weighing about 1.5 tons consumes about 8.5 liters. Different weights result in different fuel consumption. Wind resistance: The greater the wind resistance, the more fuel the car consumes while driving. If the car has a good aerodynamic design, the wind resistance is lower, and the fuel consumption will be lower. Economical RPM: During driving, the engine has a most economical torque output point. As long as the car's speed remains within this torque output point for a long time, the fuel consumption will be significantly reduced. Generally, for small-displacement cars, this is around 70 km/h, while for large-displacement cars, it is about 100 km/h. Keeping the speed within this economical RPM range will result in the least fuel consumption. Driving style: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before encountering a red light, will increase fuel consumption.

I've been driving a Sylphy for several years, and the fuel consumption spiking to 11 liters per 100 km is indeed worth discussing, as it should normally be between 7-9 liters. First, consider your driving habits—do you often brake abruptly or accelerate aggressively? High-revving driving will make the engine consume fuel faster. Then, look at the vehicle itself: a clogged air filter, worn-out spark plugs, or underinflated tires can all increase fuel consumption. Road conditions also play a key role; stop-and-go traffic in the city with frequent red lights is bound to consume more fuel than highway driving. Additionally, running the air conditioning at full blast in summer or carrying a fully loaded trunk can also drag down efficiency. I recommend checking your tire pressure, reviewing maintenance records to ensure timely oil changes, and if the issue persists, don’t hesitate to take it to a professional repair shop for a full diagnosis. Safety comes first—don’t let high fuel consumption affect your daily expenses.

As an ordinary office worker, my experience with the Sylphy's fuel consumption of 11 liters is a genuine sharing of real-life experience. I usually commute with this car and have noticed that when the fuel consumption rises above 10 liters, it's often related to my driving habits. For example, during rush hour traffic jams, the engine keeps idling, and the fuel consumption unknowingly spikes; or when the air conditioning is cranked up too high, or the car is fully loaded with family and luggage, it adds extra burden. Also, don't overlook the condition of the tires—underinflated or severely worn tires increase friction, leading to higher fuel consumption. I recommend recording your driving data a few times, such as using an app to check average speed and the number of sudden brakes—simple self-tests can help identify the root cause. Cultivating smooth driving habits, avoiding heavy acceleration and braking, can save you a lot on fuel costs in daily driving.

I often help friends with car issues. The 11L/100km fuel consumption of the Sylphy may stem from inadequate basic maintenance. For example, a dusty air filter affects intake efficiency, or aging ignition systems like untimely replaced spark plugs; also, degraded engine oil quality - if not changed beyond the service interval, the engine runs less smoothly and naturally consumes more fuel; underinflated tires are another major factor, checking tire pressure is simple yet effective. DIY cleaning the air filter or topping up tire pressure can yield immediate results; but if the car is older, it's advisable to get a professional engine inspection, don't wait for minor issues to become major hazards.
