Do SUVs have high fuel consumption?

[LaMariana]

SUV's body weight and structural characteristics usually result in higher fuel consumption compared to sedans with the same displacement. The following are the factors affecting fuel consumption: Vehicle factors: Fuel consumption is related to displacement. Generally, the larger the displacement, the higher the fuel consumption. At the same time, the thermal efficiency of the engine and the aerodynamic design of the car will also affect the fuel consumption. When the car is moving, the airflow passing through the car will generate vortices, and overcoming air resistance requires additional fuel consumption. SUVs need to overcome more air resistance than sedans, leading to higher fuel consumption. External environmental factors: Road conditions and the external environment will also have a significant impact on fuel consumption. Generally, flat roads consume less fuel than uneven roads, straight roads consume less fuel than winding roads, and smooth roads consume less fuel than congested roads. In winter, the low temperature prevents gasoline from reaching the optimal combustion temperature, resulting in incomplete combustion and some fuel consumption loss.
