Why is the Geely Vision X3 so fuel-consuming?
2 Answers
Reasons for the Geely Vision X3's high fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption: The actual fuel consumption of the Vision X3 ranges between 5.6~6.5L/100km. 2. Abnormal tire pressure: If the tire pressure is consistently uneven, long-term driving under such conditions will lead to increased fuel consumption. 3. Severe tire wear: If the tires are severely worn, slipping may occur, resulting in higher fuel consumption. 4. Bearing or brake system malfunction: If abnormal noises are heard while driving, the bearings or brake system should be checked promptly for faults. Improper wheel rotation can affect speed and increase fuel consumption.
To be honest, when I found the high fuel consumption of the Vision X3, I had to consider multiple factors. On one hand, its engine is relatively outdated. After all, it's a compact SUV with inefficient power output, and the matching transmission shifts a bit slowly, leading to soaring fuel consumption during frequent idling or acceleration in the city. On the other hand, the vehicle's weight and high drag coefficient mean more fuel is consumed when driving fast in windy conditions. Driving habits also play a crucial role. If you frequently stomp on the accelerator for quick acceleration or blast the air conditioning, it adds to the burden. Having driven for several years, I recommend regularly checking tire pressure and engine oil condition, as low tire pressure can significantly increase fuel consumption. Additionally, choosing smoother routes to avoid frequent stops and starts can save some money. Overall, this model is what it is, and you have to accept the slightly higher fuel consumption before buying it.
