Inmetro Reveals Consumption Data of the Plug-In Hybrid, Highlighting the Superiority of the Chinese Sedan BYD King

The BYD King, Chinese sedan officially launched in Brazil in June this year, is already available in two versions. With prices starting at R$ 175,800 for the GL configuration and R$ 187,800 for the top-of-the-line GS, the model has sparked market curiosity. The latest news is the disclosure of the consumption of the plug-in hybrid by the National Institute of Metrology, Standardization, and Industrial Quality (Inmetro), which confirms the vehicle’s energy efficiency, according to the website Auto Esporte.

Unmatched Consumption

The Brazilian Vehicle Labeling Program (PBEV) presented two consumption measurement scenarios for the BYD King. When operating with the combustion and electric engines simultaneously, the King registers an impressive 44.2 km/l in the city and 36.7 km/l on the road. The top-of-the-line version achieves 43.3 km/l and 32.7 km/l, respectively. In comparison, the Toyota Corolla, its main competitor, achieves 12.8 km/l in urban cycle and 11.1 km/l on the highway with ethanol, and 18.5 km/l in the city and 15.7 km/l on the road with gasoline. These figures highlight the superiority of the Chinese sedan in terms of fuel economy.

Efficiency of the BYD King in Different Modes

Considering only the gasoline engine, the BYD King maintains good performance. The entry-level version achieves 16.3 km/l in the city and 14.3 km/l on the road, while the more expensive configuration reaches 16.8 km/l and 14.7 km/l, respectively. In electric mode, the range also varies: 32 km in the GL version and 80 km in the GS. These numbers are slightly lower than those reported in China, at 55 km and 105 km, respectively, due to variations in batteries and power between the available versions.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

A couple builds a system to bring water from the spring to their land, climbs a hill with materials on their backs, and creates a simple, cheap, and sustainable solution to ensure their own water supply.

The end of total solar eclipses has a deadline: the Moon is moving away from the Earth at about 3.8 cm per year, and in approximately 600 million years, it will no longer completely cover the Sun, ending one of the rarest coincidences in the Solar System.

With 40% of all the gold on the planet buried in a single geological basin that is 2.7 billion years old in South Africa, the Witwatersrand still hides R$ 3 trillion in unreachable reserves.

In the depths of the African forest, these rare and terrifying native species dominate rivers, swamps, and treetops with venom, brute strength, lethal teeth, and behaviors that seem impossible in the heart of the wild.

Iron foundry in Senegal reveals a pile of 100 tons of slag, 35 furnace bases, and a rare technique that has remained stable for centuries.

The only man-made structure in the world that can be clearly seen from space is not the pyramids of Egypt nor the Great Wall of China.

An analysis by NASA highlighted that the Great Wall of China and the Pyramids of Egypt are not visible to the naked eye from the International Space Station, and only one man-made structure is visible in this way.

Man never set foot on the Moon? 5 scientific proofs confirm that humanity has been there and definitively dismantle conspiracy theories.

The Brazilian Army will adopt humanoid robots to test the concept of future combat, says a website, surprising everyone, but later revealing that it was all just an allusion to April Fool’s Day.
