Does Toyota Have High Fuel Consumption?
2 Answers
Toyota vehicles' fuel consumption falls within the normal range. Here is more information about Toyota engines: 1. Toyota's VT-i technology can balance both high-speed and low-speed operating conditions, improving engine power and fuel economy; reducing engine emissions; and enhancing engine idle and low-speed performance as well as stability. 2. Toyota's VVT-i technology has two modes: vane type and helical groove type. The vane type is usually matched with Toyota Previa's seven-seat MPV, while the helical groove type is generally used in Toyota's luxury brand Lexus and other models.
Last time I went on a road trip driving my friend's Camry, I specifically recorded the fuel consumption. With the 2.5L engine running AC and carrying three people, it only consumed 6.8L per 100km on the highway. But during rush hour traffic in the city, the display showed up to 10L - frequent stop-and-go at traffic lights really burns fuel. Still, it's much more economical than my old American car, thanks to Toyota's Dynamic Force engine with 40% thermal efficiency. For daily commuting, I recommend using ECO mode for smoother throttle response and about 5% lower fuel consumption. The hybrid version is even more impressive - my colleague's Corolla Hybrid maintains 4.3L long-term, with the engine shutting off completely at red lights when the battery kicks in. The technology is truly remarkable.
