What is the actual fuel consumption of the 2021 RAV4?
3 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the 2021 RAV4 is 4.7-6.4L/100km. There are 10 models of the 2021 RAV4 on sale. The fuel consumption of the two-wheel-drive urban version is 5.8L/100km. The two-wheel-drive fashion version, two-wheel-drive premium version, and two-wheel-drive fashion PLUS version have a fuel consumption of 5.9L/100km. The four-wheel-drive fashion version and four-wheel-drive fashion PLUS version have a fuel consumption of 6.3L/100km. The four-wheel-drive premium version has a fuel consumption of 6.4L/100km. The two-wheel-drive elite version has a fuel consumption of 4.7L/100km. The four-wheel-drive elite PLUS version and four-wheel-drive flagship version have a fuel consumption of 5L/100km. The above are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption figures, which are the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 7.5-9.0L/100km. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Clean engine carbon deposits: Excessive engine carbon deposits are a significant cause, mainly due to the use of unsuitable fuel. It is recommended to add a certain amount of cleaning agent when refueling. If the effect is not obvious, it indicates that there are many carbon deposits in the engine. In this case, the car must be taken to a 4S shop for professional technicians to clean the carbon deposits in the engine. Check the oxygen sensor: As an internal control unit of the car, the oxygen sensor mainly monitors the fuel-air ratio of the engine. Once damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the fuel-air ratio, and the fuel consumption will definitely increase suddenly. After the oxygen sensor is damaged, the exhaust pipe will emit darker exhaust gas during driving, and the oxygen sensor should be replaced at this time. Regularly replace the three filters: During the use of the vehicle, the oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter must be replaced regularly. If they are not replaced for a long time, they will become dirty and send wrong information to the engine control unit, causing incomplete fuel combustion and increased engine carbon deposits. Check the electronic control unit: Although the reliability of the engine's electronic control unit is very high, in vehicles that have been used for a long time, various faults may inevitably occur.
I've been driving the RAV4 2021 2.0L gasoline version for over a year now, mainly using it for daily commuting in the city. The average fuel consumption fluctuates between 9 to 11 liters, and can rise to around 10.5 liters in heavy traffic. Using the air conditioning in summer noticeably increases fuel consumption. On weekends, when driving on highways with good conditions, it drops to around 7 liters, which is quite a pleasant surprise. It feels quite reasonable considering the car's spaciousness and safety stability. I refuel twice a month, spending about 500 RMB, which isn't too expensive but not exactly economical either. The key influencing factors are driving habits and road conditions; rapid acceleration and sudden braking consume more fuel, so maintaining a steady speed below 60 km/h is more economical. Regularly checking tire pressure can also slightly reduce fuel consumption. Overall, it's quite suitable for daily family use.
As a young office worker, I find driving the 2021 RAV4 Hybrid incredibly satisfying. The actual fuel consumption in the city is only 5.5 to 6 liters per 100 kilometers, and it's about the same on highways. For short daily commutes of 15 kilometers, the electric mode significantly saves fuel – less than half a liter per day, costing around 300 RMB per month for refueling. The hybrid system provides quiet and smooth acceleration, and battery maintenance isn't a hassle with its long-term warranty. To save even more, use the air conditioning sparingly and minimize short trips with cold starts. Setting the cruise control at around 75 km/h on highways further reduces fuel consumption. This car is energy-efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective – I highly recommend it to budget-conscious friends who want to experience its actual driving performance.
