2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the Captiva 2.4 4WD is 9.9L. Taking the Captiva 2017 2.4L 2WD Urban Edition 5-seater as an example: it is a mid-size 5-door 5-seat SUV under SAIC-GM Chevrolet, with a length, width, and height of 4690mm, 1849mm, and 1753mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2707mm. It is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission, with a top speed of 175 km/h. The engine of the Captiva 2017 2.4L 2WD Urban Edition 5-seater has a maximum torque of 230 Nm and a maximum power of 123 kW. It uses front-wheel drive, and the tire specification is 235/60R17.
I've been driving this car for three years, mostly in the city, and the real fuel consumption is really a headache, averaging 14 to 15 liters per 100 kilometers, and it can go up to 16 liters in traffic jams. As an SUV, the Captiva 2.4 four-wheel drive is heavy, the engine output is average, and the four-wheel drive system adds extra burden, so the fuel consumption is naturally high. Want to save fuel? I started paying attention to braking less abruptly, maintaining a steady speed, and regularly checking tire pressure and engine maintenance—these small actions can reduce consumption by about 1 liter. However, considering its four-wheel drive is particularly effective in rainy or snowy conditions, and the spaciousness is great for family trips, I just have to accept this fuel consumption. In the end, choosing an SUV is about comfort and practicality, so don't be too harsh on the fuel costs.
