Why is the fuel consumption of the Volvo S90 so high?
1 Answers
Volvo S90 has a combined fuel consumption of 6.7L/100km. There are currently 4 models of Volvo S90 on sale: the Momentum Luxury Edition, Momentum Sport Edition, Inscription Luxury Edition, and Inscription Pro Luxury Edition, all with a combined fuel consumption of 6.7L/100km. The above figures are 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, ranging from 8.6-10.7L/100km. The level of a car's fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also 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 the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to burn, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer controls higher idle speeds to warm up the engine, which also increases fuel consumption.
