2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the Ford Equator is 8.3 liters. Taking the 2020 Ford Equator as an example, it belongs to the mid-size SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4878mm, width 1925mm, height 1734mm, a wheelbase of 2850mm, a fuel tank capacity of 69 liters, and a curb weight of 1850kg. The 2020 Ford Equator features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 245PS, a maximum power of 180kW, and a maximum torque of 390Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Seeing this question reminds me that the actual fuel consumption of the Ford Equator SUV can vary quite a bit from person to person. Having driven this type of vehicle for several years, I typically see 10-12 liters per 100 km in city traffic jams, and around 8-9 liters on the highway—it largely depends on how you drive. Rapid acceleration or frequent braking will increase fuel consumption as the engine bears a heavier load. Vehicle condition also matters; insufficient tire pressure or poor maintenance can add about 0.5 liters. Warming up the car for too long in winter or using air conditioning in summer may also cause a slight increase. Personally, I’d estimate an average of 9.5 to 11 liters. I recommend using an app to log trip data for more accuracy and to avoid unexpected expenses. Don’t rely too much on the manufacturer’s claimed figures—real-world driving conditions are far different from test scenarios.
