Is the fuel consumption high for the Envision 2.0T model?
2 Answers
The Envision 2.0T model has a fuel consumption of approximately 11 to 12 liters per 100 kilometers, which is not considered high for this type of vehicle. Here are the details regarding clutch slippage in the Envision: 1. Symptoms: Clutch slippage mainly manifests as the vehicle's speed not increasing with the engine's RPM during acceleration, resulting in a lack of power transmission to the drive wheels and causing sluggish performance, especially noticeable when going uphill. 2. Causes: The primary reasons for clutch slippage include insufficient friction from the clutch friction plate; shifting gears too early or disengaging gears before the clutch is fully engaged; prolonged driving with the clutch partially engaged or coasting with the clutch depressed; and abnormal wear of the clutch plate caused by applying excessive throttle when the gear is not fully engaged or disengaged.
I've been driving the Envision 2.0T for over two years, and the fuel consumption is indeed not low, especially in stop-and-go city traffic where it can soar to 14-15 liters per 100 kilometers, significantly higher than the around 10 liters on highways. It feels like my wallet is bleeding every day. However, with its heavy body and the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, the power is truly impressive—never failing during overtaking or climbing hills—so I can accept the extra fuel costs. I recommend fellow drivers to plan routes in advance to avoid peak hours, maintain steady speeds without sudden acceleration, and perform regular maintenance like changing air filters. These small tips can help save a liter or two of fuel. If you don't often encounter traffic jams, this fuel consumption is average, but for daily city commuting, it's genuinely high.
