Is the fuel consumption of the Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L manual high?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L manual is not high. Taking the 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4705mm, width 1810mm, height 1710mm, wheelbase 2670mm, fuel tank capacity 63L, and curb weight 1485kg. The 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 166PS, maximum power of 122kW, and maximum torque of 201Nm, paired with a 6-speed continuously variable transmission.
I've driven the Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L manual transmission model, and I feel the fuel consumption really depends on how you drive it. In daily city driving with frequent stops and starts, heavy traffic, and many traffic lights, the fuel consumption is around 7.5L to 8L per 100 kilometers, and it can go above 8L with the air conditioning on in summer. However, on highways or suburban roads with better conditions, it easily drops to around 6L once the speed stabilizes. I've driven this car for over two years, and with manual transmission, controlling the gear shifts properly and keeping the RPM not too high can save some fuel. Regular maintenance is crucial, such as changing the engine oil and air filter, and keeping the tire pressure adequate, which can further reduce fuel consumption. Overall, it's not particularly high, just average among SUVs, suitable for ordinary families as long as you don't speed. Some people who are not skilled with manual transmission might experience higher fuel consumption in the city, but it normalizes once they get familiar with it.
