How many kilometers can a Jimny run on a full tank?
4 Answers
Jimny can run 500 kilometers on a full tank. The size of the fuel tank measures a vehicle's capacity to carry fuel, and the fuel tank volume determines the driving range. For two cars with identical engines, the larger the fuel tank, the farther it can run. The Jimny is a light ORV off-road vehicle produced by Japan's Suzuki. In terms of power, it uses a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 63kw and a maximum torque of 110nm, featuring front and rear rigid axles and a part-time four-wheel drive system. The Jimny has undergone some optimized designs, including the front bumper, grille, and hood, though these changes are subtle and hard to notice without careful observation; the fog lights have also been slightly modified, with a seemingly slightly increased size.
I'm a seasoned Jimny driver, using it for daily commutes and weekend getaways. A full tank gives me around 300 to 350 kilometers. With a 40-liter fuel tank, fuel consumption really depends on driving style - in city traffic with AC on, it can spike to 15L/100km, emptying the tank in just over 200km. On highways at steady speeds, dropping to 10L/100km gets me 400+ km. I've found that gentle acceleration, proper tire pressure, and careful driving can squeeze out extra dozens of kilometers. The key is remembering this compact off-road vehicle isn't designed for fuel efficiency - regular checks of fuel lines and air filters (keeping them dust-free) help save fuel. After years of driving, I've learned to refuel when the gauge hits quarter-tank to avoid stalling mid-trip. For long journeys, I plan 250km intervals between service station stops for peace of mind.
From the perspective of vehicle operating costs, the driving range of the Jimny can be estimated as follows: with a full 40-liter gasoline tank and an average fuel consumption of 12 liters per 100 kilometers, it can roughly travel around 330 kilometers. However, the actual range varies significantly due to driving habits and road conditions. For instance, using air conditioning in summer or preheating in winter can increase fuel consumption by 10-20%, reducing the range by over 20%. Some reports indicate that older or poorly maintained Jimnys may only achieve around 250 kilometers on a full tank. Switching to a pure electric or hybrid vehicle would save a lot of money and be more environmentally friendly, but the Jimny's compact size makes it practical for urban driving with easy parking. It is recommended to use cruise control on highways and accelerate smoothly to effectively extend the total range and reduce carbon emissions, benefiting the planet.
Detailed parameters: The Jimny has a fuel tank capacity of approximately 40 liters, with a combined fuel consumption of 12 to 14 liters per 100 kilometers. Therefore, on flat roads, a full tank can last up to 350 kilometers. However, in city driving with frequent stops and starts, this may drop to 280 kilometers. In mountainous areas with uphill driving, fuel consumption increases further, reducing the range to around 250 kilometers. The small engine offers strong off-road performance but is relatively fuel-intensive. Replacing the engine oil and cleaning the fuel injectors can improve efficiency by 10-20%, allowing for slightly longer distances. Actual driving performance also depends on the vehicle's age and load. From my experience, don't overlook small maintenance tasks like tire pressure checks and regular servicing, as these can save a significant amount on fuel costs and naturally extend the driving range.
