Dandong，A small but prosperous town located in the southeast of Liaoning Province，At the same time, it has become one of the most representative cities because of its special geographical location。For Chinese people who have never been here，Walking onto the broken bridge of the Yalu River，Looking at the Democratic People's Republic of Korea across the river，Send hello to Sinuiju City from afar；Climb the Roaring Tiger Wall again，The fantasy positioning of checking in and crossing the border between China and North Korea。This should be one of the relatively popular travel routes，But don’t forget，Dandong is also the northern starting point of my country’s coastline。 

Because of this，The starting point of the fuel-saving race of the 14th generation Sylphy "Thousands of Miles Away·Happy Coastline" is located in Dandong，Friends who are familiar with Sylphy models must have already known it，Sylphy’s annual fuel-saving competition is now in its fifth session。This event is divided into Bohai Sea、Yellow Sea、The fourth section of East China Sea and South China Sea，Connect four bays in series with one car，Driving along the coastline，Experience the ultimate battery life of Sylphy in depth。 

It has been more than two months since the 14th generation Sylphy was unveiled to the market now，It is popular for its younger appearance and outstanding interior materials，But it is also criticized for the lack of certain configurations。But for Sylphy，As long as you are economical and considerate of your family，He is still the “homely man” that everyone loves。 

It is undeniable，Fuel-saving racing is seabet logina very extreme way of driving。Someone once jokingly called it，WRC is more bitter than CTCC，What is more bitter than WRC is Dakar，What is more bitter than Dakar is F1，The fuel-saving race is more painful than F1。Often in order to achieve better fuel saving effects and results during the testing process，Passengers in the car will adjust the air conditioning speed to the minimum，Even without turning on the air conditioner，Open only some windows，Also turn off all unnecessary configurations and functions (such as multimedia、Automatic headlights, etc.)。 

The Bohai section race will end in 4 days，In order to complete the extreme fuel saving test and fuel consumption test in real car environment，I will probably divide the trip into three parts based on days。Driving nearly 400km on the national highway on the first day，Driving at the limit (turn off air conditioning、Driving at a lower speed、Press the brake less、Start slowly)；Second、Three days of driving on comprehensive highway and national highway conditions，Simulate comfortable and economical driving mode (Close window、Turn on the air conditioner to reduce the air volume、Speed ​​70km/h-90km/h)；Day 4，Let yourself go。 

Let’s talk about the final results first，Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers on the first day 3.4L，Second stage comprehensive fuel consumption 4.9L/100km，In the third stage, I thought I was driving on a national highway，Under the premise of ensuring safety, you cannot drive at a speed of 120km/h like on the highway，So the final score is 5.2L/100km。Of course，This is not Sylphy’s best result，Among the vehicles tested by other media peers in the same group，The best score in a single day is 3.2L/100km。 

Of course，Excellent media teachers can endure the heat and boredom，The best result of running in extreme conditions for 4 days is 3 fuel consumption per 100 kilometers.23L，The driving mileage is 863km，Refueling amount 27.95L；The display shows that the longest battery life can reach 1350km。Although this extreme operation method will Seabetnot become the real way of using our daily cars，But it does reflect the progress of the 14th generation Sylphy in terms of powertrain and economical fuel consumption from another dimension，For comparison, I can also tell you another data。The best record in the fuel-saving race of the Sylphy (still the previous generation model) in the fourth quarter of last year was: fuel consumption 3.6L/100km，1050km battery life。 

So，Even after the replacement, the Sylphy is still 1.6L self-priming + CVT powertrain，But it is indeed not the routine of "old wine in new bottles"。A month ago, the editor introduced in detail the specific changes of the third-generation HR16 engine equipped by Sylphy (if you are interested, you can review "I Dismantled the Sylphy Engine")，After disassembling, I found a few extra parts？》https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/iPw3XzJUcdOl08y7N6eYDw），This time it can be considered as verifying its upgrade with facts。 

In fact, there is no need to dislike or question the significance of this kind of fuel-saving race，If you really can’t accept the results of the extreme challenge，But might as well recall，Even if I open it the way I let myself go on my last day，Sylphy 5.The fuel consumption of 2L/100km is only 0 more than that of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.2L。I have to say that there are two heroes who helped a lot，One is smart ECO mode，The other is the ISS intelligent automatic start-stop system，The two work well together，It’s also very easy to use。

After ECO mode is turned on，The instrument panel will display an accelerator pedal guide bar，To guide you into the most economical driving method at all times；The ISS intelligent automatic start-stop system can reduce fuel consumption in idling state，And the fuel consumption saved for the user will be displayed，But the problem it cannot escape is that it will still automatically turn off the air conditioner。 

The improvement of fuel economy and power system can certainly improve the competitiveness of this generation of Sylphy，However, the cruise system (fixed speed cruise and seabet ioACC adaptive cruise) missing in the entire series and the foot brake settings of the entire series cannot meet everyone’s psychological expectations，Hope later models can be improved。In summary，This generation of Sylphy is not a perfect car，But it is indeed an excellent product。If you want to classify it，It must also be worthy of the four words "worthy of recommendation"。
