Actual Test: What is the Fuel Consumption of the VV5?

[LeTanner]

Great Wall VV5's latest model currently has a total of 4 variants, equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T engines. The officially announced comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 6.7L and 7.1L respectively. According to the official data, the VV5's fuel consumption per kilometer is 0.067-0.071L. Here are the relevant details: 1. Great Wall VV5: After last year's facelift, the 1.5T engine of the Great Wall VV5 was actually upgraded. The 1.5T engine, codenamed E15BA, features 350Bar fuel injection pressure and an optimized combustion system with the second-generation CVVL mechanism to meet the National VI emission standards. Through continuous variable valve lift technology, it can reduce fuel consumption by up to 8.4%. 2. Fuel Consumption Differences: Poor driving skills can lead to increased fuel consumption. The same car driven by different people will have different fuel consumption levels. Only by summarizing experiences and improving driving skills can the issue of high fuel consumption due to driving techniques be resolved.

I’ve been driving the VV5 SUV for almost a year, and the real-world fuel consumption really depends on how you drive. During rush hour traffic in the city, with constant stop-and-go, the displayed fuel consumption can spike to over 11L, making every refuel feel like a hit to the wallet. On weekends, when I take it out on the highway for trips with less traffic and smoother roads, driving 100 kilometers can surprisingly bring the fuel consumption down to around 7L. Last week, I specifically did a full-tank test and drove 550 kilometers using 48L of fuel, averaging 8.7L/100km—not particularly fuel-efficient but reasonable. By avoiding aggressive acceleration and using cruise control on the highway, I’ve managed to save quite a bit on fuel costs.

Measuring the VV5's fuel consumption shouldn't rely solely on numbers; comprehensive factors must be considered. For urban commuting with frequent traffic lights and short-distance driving, my actual tests show consumption between 9-12L/100km, which increases slightly when using the heater in winter. On long highway trips, fuel consumption stabilizes around 7-8L. Driving habits make a big difference – aggressive acceleration or carrying full loads noticeably increases consumption. For accurate testing, I recommend driving 200km over a weekend to check the average, rather than trusting exaggerated advertisements.

A friend asked about the VV5's fuel consumption, and I said you'd have to test it to know for sure. Based on my test drive experience, it's at least 10L for short city trips, and easily under 8L on the highway. To save money, develop good habits: start smoothly, don't always fight for lanes; keep tire pressure adequate, checking monthly can control fuel use; don't set the AC too high, actual tests show a difference of nearly 1L. Do the math yourself—about 80 yuan per 100 kilometers, which is decent compared to other SUVs in its class.
