Why is there no average fuel consumption displayed in Geely Emgrand?
4 Answers
After starting the engine in a Geely Emgrand, press the TRIP button to switch between driving range, average fuel consumption, instantaneous fuel consumption, and average speed. At this point, you can view the average fuel consumption. Definition of average fuel consumption: Average fuel consumption, commonly referred to as fuel consumption, is defined as the amount of fuel used per unit distance traveled by the vehicle. The commonly used unit is liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km), also known as the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Average fuel consumption of the Emgrand: The 1.5L manual transmission Emgrand has an average fuel consumption of 7.72-7.8 liters per 100 kilometers, while the 1.5L automatic transmission version consumes 8.62-8.83 liters per 100 kilometers. The 1.3T manual transmission Emgrand averages 7.55-7.84 liters per 100 kilometers, and the 1.3T automatic transmission version averages 8.13-8.27 liters per 100 kilometers.
I've been driving a Geely Emgrand for several years and noticed that the base model indeed doesn't display average fuel consumption, which is quite common. Many entry-level vehicles cut costs by omitting some additional features, with average fuel consumption display being one of them. The Emgrand's dashboard design is relatively simple, and digital display might only be available in higher trim levels—it depends on the vehicle's year and specific model. I recommend downloading the official app; connecting to it allows you to view real-time fuel consumption data, which is quite convenient. If there's no display, don't worry—get into the habit of recording mileage and expenses at each refueling to calculate it yourself. This method is more accurate and hassle-free. After all, paying attention to fuel consumption helps save money in the long run, making it a good habit. A vehicle software upgrade might also solve the issue—ask at the 4S dealership; sometimes a free system update will add the feature.
As an everyday Geely Emgrand owner, I initially couldn't find the average fuel consumption display - turns out not all settings are automatically enabled. You need to enter the driving assistance menu in the central control screen and activate the fuel consumption option. My car is the new model, but my friend's older version doesn't have this feature. I guess Geely designed this to accommodate different users, as some drivers don't pay much attention to fuel economy, avoiding interface complexity. When not displayed, I manually calculate: recording fuel gauge changes every 100km and calculating in Excel for clarity. Maintaining smooth acceleration in actual driving helps too. While adding accessories isn't costly, I prefer natural driving without constant number-watching, which actually reduces stress. Regular battery and system health checks are crucial to ensure sensor functionality.
It's quite normal for my long-term use of an economical car like the Emgrand not to display average fuel consumption. Manufacturers prioritize practicality and low cost during design, omitting extra chips or software modules to control overall vehicle expenses. For example, entry-level models have simpler dashboards, while digital features are added only in higher trims. My car doesn't display it, but manual tracking is straightforward: note the odometer reading and fuel amount when refueling, then record again next time to estimate the average. Daily driving tips include minimizing sudden braking and maintaining a steady speed of 60-80 km/h for optimal fuel efficiency. Honestly, lacking this feature isn't a big deal—it avoids over-reliance on screens. I suggest focusing more on the actual driving experience; as long as the car is safe and reliable, fuel consumption largely depends on driving habits. If needed, check the user manual or online forums—a software update might resolve it.
