丰田第5代普锐斯在去年上市后,以PHEV插电式油电能源、帅气造型遭到喜欢。 比来有人用最入门的普锐斯,从美国东岸开到西岸,创下均匀油耗2.53L的成就,打破2016年KIA Niro(3.07L)创下的吉尼斯世界纪录。
这名Wayne Gerdes的驾驶开着普锐斯 LE入门车型,从洛杉矶市政厅一路开到纽约市政厅,全长共5168.7千米,途中也俯冲海拔2,100米、通过40° C以上的沙漠地带,终究以均匀油耗2.53L创下横跨美国最省油的吉尼斯世界纪录。
▲这趟横跨美国的旅途共长达5168.7千米,途中也俯冲海拔2,100米、40°C以上的沙漠地带。
Gerdes也提到,为了达成这项纪录,在驾驶技能上也以十分温和的加加速、滑行来达成,此外也选择较短的线路来缩短里程,只管可能需求爬山或通过都会区。
这趟5168.7千米的横跨美国最省油纪录,Gerdes共损耗了130.6升汽油,而普锐斯的油箱容量为42.7升,只管并未发布他加了几回油,但以丰田民间宣称一桶油可开1,036千米来看,至多也只需求进加油站5次罢了。
The latest-generation Toyota Prius is generating a lot of attention thanks to its much sleeker and sportier design, more potent hybrid powertrain and fully redesigned cockpit, but we should not forget the main reason why the car is such an icon in the first place—exceptional fuel economy.
In addition to achieving a combined 4.8 L/100 km according to Natural Resources Canada, the small and highly aerodynamic Japanese sedan recently added a record-breaking feat to an already impressive resume.
Driven by hypermiling specialist Wayne Gerdes, a Prius set a new Guinness World Record for lowest fuel consumption driving across the U.S. from the West coast to East coast. Starting at Los Angeles City Hall and finishing at New York City Hall, it averaged a staggering 93.158 mpg, or the equivalent of 2.52 L/100 km. Can you believe that?
The previous record was in the mid-70s mpg, or just over 3 L/100 km.
Slower take-offs from stops, keeping even pressure on the accelerator pedal, and easing off the accelerator early when stops are ahead are just some of the tips Gerdes has for everyday drivers looking to improve their fuel economy.
“The Prius has impressed us all for the past 23 years, and frankly, it continues to wow us today,” said Toyota Vehicle Marketing group vice president Michael Tripp. “The world record for the highest MPG to us is just one more proof point that the Prius truly is an engineering marvel.”
