The fuel consumption performance of the new Emgrand with a 1.5L displacement can reach the standard of a 2.0L engine, with a combined fuel consumption of around 8.5L/100km. This figure generally applies to automatic transmission models, while manual transmission models are slightly lower, typically around 7.8L/100km. Although not as fuel-efficient as Japanese cars in the same class, it is not considered a fuel-guzzling model. The fuel consumption details of the Geely Emgrand are as follows: 1. MIIT fuel consumption: The Emgrand 1.5L 5-speed manual transmission model (China V) has a MIIT combined fuel consumption of 5.8L/100km, the Emgrand 1.5L 5-speed manual transmission model (China VI) has a MIIT combined fuel consumption of 5.8L/100km, the Emgrand 1.5L CVT model (China V) has a MIIT combined fuel consumption of 6.1L/100km, and the Emgrand 1.5L CVT model (China VI) has a MIIT combined fuel consumption of 6.1L/100km. 2. Actual fuel consumption: The Emgrand 1.5L 5-speed manual transmission model (China V) has a fuel consumption range of 6.82-8.75L/100km with an average of 7.78L/100km, the Emgrand 1.5L 5-speed manual transmission model (China VI) has a fuel consumption range of 6.68-8.62L/100km with an average of 7.65L/100km, the Emgrand 1.5L CVT model (China V) has a fuel consumption range of 7.58-9.92L/100km with an average of 8.76L/100km, and the Emgrand 1.5L CVT model (China VI) has a fuel consumption range of 7.42-9.71L/100km with an average of 8.58L/100km.

When I first got my new Emgrand, I was also quite puzzled by the fuel consumption. Actually, after driving it for a while, I realized that the 1.5L engine is indeed a bit underpowered for a car weighing over 1.3 tons. I mostly commute in the city, and when accelerating from traffic lights, the tachometer shoots up quickly, with the display often showing around 8.5 liters per 100 km. However, it's quite surprising on the highway—cruise control can bring it down to just over 6 liters. Later, I learned from car owner groups that insufficient tire pressure or long-term use of air conditioning has a significant impact. Last week, I adjusted the tire pressure from 2.1 to 2.4, and the fuel consumption immediately dropped by half a liter. I recommend new owners develop the habit of anticipating road conditions in advance and avoid sudden braking, and the fuel consumption will naturally be under control.

How to Check Tire Pressure on Volkswagen Golf 7?

Volkswagen Golf 7 does not have a direct tire pressure monitoring system, so it does not display specific tire pressure values. The Golf 7's tire monitoring indicator uses ABS sensors to compare the rolling circumference and rotation speed of each wheel. If the tire pressure of one or more wheels changes, the tire pressure loss indicator on the combination instrument panel and the infotainment system display will issue an alert. The dimensions of the Golf 7 are 4255mm in length, 1799mm in width, and 1452mm in height. The Golf 7 is equipped with EA211 series 1.6L and 1.4T engines. The 1.6L engine delivers a maximum power of 81 kW and a maximum torque of 155 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Where is the fuel filter of the Bluebird located?

The fuel filter of the Bluebird is located inside the fuel pump assembly. The fuel filter is used to filter gasoline, removing water and impurities from it. It is necessary to replace the fuel filter regularly, and it is recommended to change the Bluebird's fuel filter every 5,000 kilometers. The main function of the filter is to filter the gasoline in the car. After prolonged use, the impurities in the gasoline will reduce the filtering efficiency of the filter. Gasoline is the driving force of the car, and high-quality gasoline can better power the car's engine and fuel pump. Gasoline with many impurities will naturally affect the normal operation of the car, so the filter must be replaced regularly. The Bluebird has a body length of 4683mm, width of 1780mm, height of 1465mm, and a wheelbase of 2700mm.

How to Adjust the Headlight Height on the Verano?

The headlight height adjustment knob for the Verano is located on the left side of the instrument panel, next to the light control switch. Rotating the knob allows you to adjust the height of the light beam; a higher numerical value corresponds to a higher light beam. Headlight height adjustment is now a standard feature in many vehicle models. Its purpose is to ensure optimal driving visibility on uneven roads where direct headlight beams may not provide the best view. Adjusting the headlight height helps illuminate the required areas ahead on uneven terrain, ensuring driving safety. The dimensions of the Buick Verano are 4718mm in length, 1802mm in width, and 1466mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The powertrain options include a 1.5L and a 1.5T engine, with maximum power outputs of 118 horsepower and 169 horsepower, respectively.

How Much Engine Oil Should Be Added at One Time?

Engine oil should be filled slightly below the mark on the dipstick, avoiding overfilling. Each car model has a different oil capacity, so the amount of oil required varies. Therefore, it's essential to add oil appropriately based on the dipstick's markings. Methods for selecting engine oil: Engine oil selection should align with the engine's requirements. It's unnecessary to use overly advanced oil in engines with lower requirements, nor should lower-grade oil be used in high-performance engines. Multigrade oil is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness, longevity, and efficiency, providing better engine protection. If the engine is in good condition and the ambient temperature is low, using lower-viscosity oil helps maintain smooth oil flow. In high-temperature seasons or when the engine is severely worn, higher-viscosity oil is preferable as it aids in forming a protective oil film, reducing engine wear. Effects of improper oil levels: Overfilling oil increases crankshaft resistance, reducing engine output power. Excess oil may enter the combustion chamber, leading to oil burning, blue smoke, and increased fuel consumption. Insufficient oil accelerates wear on internal engine components, potentially causing engine damage. Therefore, maintaining oil levels within the specified range is crucial.

What Are the Car Classifications?

Car classifications are divided into six levels: A00 (mini car), A0 (small car), A (compact car), B (mid-size car), C (large mid-size car), and D (full-size car). The primary differences between each level of car are the wheelbase and engine displacement. A00 (mini car): The wheelbase of an A00 passenger car ranges between 2000mm and 2300mm, with an engine displacement of less than 1 liter. A0 (small car): The wheelbase of an A0 model typically ranges between 2300mm and 2500mm, with an engine displacement generally between 1.0 and 1.5 liters. A (compact car): The wheelbase of an A-class car ranges between 2500mm and 2700mm, with a displacement between 1.5 and 1.8 liters. B (mid-size car): The wheelbase of a B-class mid-range passenger car ranges between 2700mm and 2900mm, with a displacement between 1.8 and 2.5 liters. C (large mid-size car): The wheelbase of a C-class premium passenger car ranges between 2800mm and 3000mm, with an engine displacement between 2.3 and 3.0 liters. D (full-size car): D-class luxury passenger cars mostly feature a stately appearance, extremely spacious interiors, and powerful engines. Their wheelbase is generally greater than 2800mm, with a displacement typically above 3.0 liters.
