What is the actual fuel consumption of the Commander 5.7?
2 Answers
The 5.7-liter Commander has a fuel consumption of approximately 20 liters per 100 kilometers. Under aggressive driving conditions, the fuel consumption can exceed 30 liters per 100 kilometers. The Commander's 5.7-liter naturally aspirated engine is a HEMI engine, which delivers 326 horsepower and a maximum torque of 240 Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 5000 rpm and its maximum torque at 4000 rpm. Steady-speed driving: When driving, it's important to maintain a controlled speed and avoid sudden braking. Avoid opening windows at high speeds: Opening windows at high speeds increases fuel consumption. Regularly check tire pressure to ensure it is at the correct level; both underinflation and overinflation can increase fuel consumption, so it's essential to monitor tire pressure periodically. Pay attention to transmission maintenance: Always use the correct transmission fluid specified for your vehicle. Transmission fluid not only lubricates but also plays a crucial role in torque transmission, so it should be replaced regularly.
As a long-time owner of a 5.7L Commander, this vehicle's fuel consumption really depends on driving technique. In city traffic jams, it can reach 18L/100km, and it gets even worse with AC on in summer. But it's much more economical on highways - maintaining 110km/h can bring it down to around 12L. Last long-distance trip showed a combined fuel consumption of 14.5L. A full tank of 92-octane gas costing 600 yuan gets you just over 500km. Though this engine is thirsty, its low-end torque is exceptionally strong, never hesitating on slopes. It's 1-2L/100km more efficient in winter than summer, and keeping tire pressure at 2.6 helps with economy.
