How much is the fuel consumption difference between 3.0t and 2.0t?

If the same vehicle model uses these two different engines, the fuel consumption difference is between 3 to 5 liters. Here are the specific details: Differences between 2.0t and 3.0t engines: Different displacement. The 2.0t engine has a displacement of 2.0 liters; the 3.0t engine has a displacement of 3.0 liters; Different road adaptability. The 2.0t engine performs better in daily urban driving. The 3.0t engine performs better in high-speed driving; Different fuel consumption. The 2.0t vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is about 10 to 11 liters, while the 3.0t vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is about 11 to 13 liters. The 't' in 2.0t and 3.0t stands for turbocharging, which consists of a turbocharger and an intercooler. The turbocharger compresses the air, and the intercooler cools the compressed air. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Incorrect driving habits have the greatest impact on fuel consumption. During driving, especially in heavy traffic, at red lights, or when changing lanes, sudden acceleration and braking are the most common issues. Experts have conducted fuel consumption tests during acceleration and found that fuel consumption increases by 2 to 3 times compared to driving at a constant speed.
I've been driving a 2.0T car, and recently tried my friend's 3.0T SUV - the fuel consumption difference is quite noticeable. In city driving, the 2.0T averages 11-12L/100km, while the 3.0T jumps to 15-17L, a difference of about 4-5L. On highways it's slightly better: 2.0T does 7-8L versus 3.0T's 10-12L, a 3-4L gap. This difference is significantly affected by vehicle type - lighter sedans consume less, while heavier SUVs with higher drag are thirstier. Driving style also matters - my aggressive acceleration habits push consumption higher. Financially, driving 10,000km annually means the 3.0T costs 3,000-4,000 yuan more in fuel than the 2.0T, which really hurts long-term. For budget-conscious drivers, the 2.0T is more economical and practical, especially in traffic jams where you'll visit gas stations less often.
