Renault-Daster: fuel consumption per 100 km according to passport and in reality

The popular car "Renault-Daster," which represents something between the SUV and the hatchback, has become popular lately. This is not surprising, given the low price of a car for an SUV. But many potential buyers are interested in the issue of fuel consumption per 100 km of Renault-Daster. Based on the official information in the passport and the owners' feedback on the forums, you can come to a certain conclusion.

Engines of the car

Renault-Daster, which is produced for sale in Russia, can be completed with three types of engines with different fuel supply systems and capacities. The following motors are delivered to Russia:

1. Turbo-diesel 1.5 liter for 109 horsepower. It features an increased traction, the torque is 240 Nhm at 1750 rpm. Also here is a new fuel injection system and a turbocharger.
2. Gasoline engine with cylinders with a total volume of 1.6. Its power is 114 horsepower, there is also a chain drive and a system for changing the phases of gas distribution.
3. Gasoline engine with cylinders with a cylinder capacity of 2 liters. Its power is 143 liters. from. This engine has a special economy mode and changes in gas distribution phases.

Naturally, the gasoline consumption of Renault-Daster will differ depending on the type of engine used.

Passport and economy

The relatively new Renault Daster is equipped with fairly economical engines that fully meet the requirements of the international environmental standard EURO 5. The designers in these motors have applied some innovative solutions that not only reduced the consumption of Renault-Daster gasoline, but also improved the acceleration of the car.

Now the diesel engine is equipped with a turbocharger with variable geometry. This is done so that the cross section at the turbine inlet can change as the load on the motor itself increases. This means that under any load - large or small - the motor will work in conditions close to ideal, and will not "eat" excess fuel at both high and low rpm. He always takes exactly as much fuel as he needs. Also, the diesel engines of this machine have Common Rail injection systems, which can supply fuel under controlled high pressure and, more importantly, a shifting torque depending on the number of engine revolutions.

All these innovations have made it possible to achieve significant fuel economy. Because of this, the fuel consumption of Renault-Duster for 100 km fits into the following figures:

1. In the city - 5.9 liters.
2. On the road - 5 liters.
3. The mixed cycle is 5.3 liters.

For a diesel engine, this is quite good.

The expense of "Renault-Daster" 1.6 with petrol engines

The 1.6 l engines have a gas distribution system for the phases. As the designers say, this allowed to reduce the consumption of gasoline. In addition, the car uses an electro-hydraulic power steering, and it also plays a role. The fact is that the pressure in the amplifier is not created by the engine, but by a separate electric motor, which makes it possible to save an extra liter per 100 kilometers. Fuel consumption of Renault-Daster 1.6:

1. In urban conditions - 9.3 liters.
2. On the road - 6.3 liters.
3. The mixed cycle is 7.6 liters.

Given the volume of the engine, we can not say that the specialists of Renault have been able to create something unique in terms of fuel economy. The same old "Opel" in 2003 exhausts about the same amount of fuel with the same engine volume. This applies not only to "Opel", but also cars of other brands. Therefore, 9.3 liters of gasoline in urban conditions with an engine of 1.6 liters is normal, but not cool.

Fuel consumption of Renault-Daster 2.0

The most powerful motor that can be used in this car is the 2-liter eco-engine. The ecosystem in this motor reduces fuel consumption when there is no need for high power. In this case, this mode is turned on manually, by pressing the button, and by default are turned off.

The fuel consumption of the Renault-Daster 100 km with a gasoline engine 2.0:

1. In the city - 10.1 liters.
2. On the highway - 6.5 liters.
3. Mixed - 7.8 liters.

With the mode enabled, the savings amount to 10% of the total flow. This means that in Eco mode, city consumption can be "caught up" to 9 liters per hundred, but engine power can be slightly reduced.

What affects the economy?

Note that the real expense of Renault-Daster is somewhat different. After all, the numbers mentioned above are valid only for the ideal car in conditions of ideal operation. But in reality the gluttony of the Renault-Daster machine is determined by many factors:

1. Technical condition of the engine and the machine as a whole. For example, with a curved body, the fuel consumption is greatly increased.
2. Technical condition of running gear and transmission.
3. Equipment.
4. Type of transmission.
5. Number of drives, etc.

Not the least role is played by the ability of the driver to switch gears on time and not overdrive. Therefore, no one will be able to say the exact fuel consumption for the 100 km of the Renault-Daster. It will always be individual for each owner of this machine.

Also from the responses of drivers, we learn that some breakages can greatly increase fuel consumption. Sometimes the consumption of gasoline increases several times. Even tire pressure can increase the load on the engine, and as a result, fuel consumption will increase.

Transmission and economy

Not the least role is played by the transmission and the equipment of the car. The Renault-Daster is equipped with 4x4 and 2x4 manual transmissions. There is also an automatic 4x4 transmission. Each of them will create its own unique load on the engine. Therefore, the fuel consumption of the Reno-Duster 4x4 will differ from the consumption of the 4x2 car. The manner of driving the driver also determines whether the consumption will be increased or decreased.

The same can be said about the drive. With large lifts, the full drive justifies itself and even saves gasoline. When towing the front or rear drive, gasoline is consumed much faster and very much. In this regard, all-wheel drive car is better.

Real fuel consumption of Renault-Duster

Tests of drivers showed that the passport consumption of gasoline and diesel fuel of this car is fundamentally different from the real one. In principle, this should not surprise anyone - it happens more often than we would like.

If you try and consistently keep the speed and speed, the diesel consumption on the route will be approximately 6-6.2 liters per 100 kilometers. But usually this does not happen, because to find a perfectly flat track does not work. Always it is necessary to be dispersed, braked and something to go round. Therefore, consumption of 6.3 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers can be considered a normal result.

If you want a full drive, then there is a variant with a gasoline engine with cylinders of 1.6 liters. Such a model consumes 9.6 liters in the city, and this practically corresponds to what the manufacturer writes in the passport. Of course, with the air conditioner turned on, the flow rate will rise to 10.2 liters per 100 km.

If you believe the reviews of owners, the full loading of the car by passengers can raise the consumption around the city to almost 11-13 liters. However, on the highway, the flow rate will be 7 liters per 100 km, which is also an acceptable result.

The real fuel consumption of Renault-Daster with a 2-liter engine and all-wheel drive in the city is 11.6 liters per 100 km. If you go up a bit higher in this article, you will see that the passport value is 10.1 liters. And if you also turn on the air conditioner in parallel, the consumption will increase by another 1 liter. On the road, a car with such a kit spends its fair 8 liters. You can even achieve seven liters per 100 km, but this is with the Eco mode on, which, as you remember, saves an average of 10% of gasoline.

Spending in traffic

But getting into traffic jams on this car is extremely undesirable. After all, when driving at a speed of 10-20 kilometers per hour, the real expense of Renault-Daster can be about 21 liters per hundred. Some owners share horrible photos of the on-board computer, where the consumption of 45 liters per hundred is indicated, but this is when driving in traffic.

How to ride sparingly?

If you own a Renault-Daster car with a motor that "eats" gasoline, then you need to follow these rules:

1. When accelerating, adjust the torque to 4000.
2. After the acceleration in the last gear, move with the arrow on the tachometer 2000 rpm.
3. When driving around the city, try to keep the arrow of the tachometer within 2000 rpm in 2-4th gears.

If you have a diesel engine, then the situation will be slightly different. Usually, the optimal torque for the diesel engine is 2000 torque in fifth gear and 100-110 km / h. However, for the Renault-Daster this mode is reduced. All because of the diesel engine that is used here. Here the consumption of solar oil is regulated by a special injection system and an unusual turbocharger with variable geometry. The owners of these cars on the forums write that their car is actually economical in all modes of operation. But to fully appreciate the economy of the diesel engine can only be with the correct manner of driving. And this is true for all cars, not just for Duster.

Opinions

A lot of reviews can be found on thematic forums. It is often written that they are buying Reno-Daster with diesel engines because of obvious fuel savings. The car consumes 6.5 liters of diesel fuel per 100 km, but only on condition of the correct manner of driving. As a result, the savings compared to gasoline is about 200 rubles per 100 kilometers.

But the owners of gasoline engines (1.6 liters) sometimes complain. Expenditure on the city is 10 liters, in traffic jams, this figure is growing. Because of this, the car has to be filled more often than we would like. Therefore, for megacities and busy cities, where traffic jams - a common phenomenon, "Reno-Daster" with a gasoline engine is hardly suitable. Ideal option - diesel engine with low fuel consumption.

In general, this car justifies the money that sellers ask for it. Of course, you can not call it economical, but for some other analogues for the same money, "Reno-Duster" can give a head start on the part of economy.
