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.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Houses made from recycled plastic begin to materialize in Amazonas: government opens pre-registration for vulnerable families, promises free 50 m² homes, and transforms plastic waste into eco-friendly blocks for rapid construction.
