What is the actual fuel consumption of the Leopard?

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology provides a combined fuel consumption of 7.3-7.8L/100km, with suburban consumption at 6.4L, urban consumption at 8.8L, and a combined figure of 7.4L. Below are factors affecting fuel consumption: Road conditions: Poor or uneven road surfaces forcing prolonged low-gear driving will inevitably increase fuel usage. Driving habits: Incorrect driving behaviors have the most significant impact—hard braking, inconsistent speeds, prolonged engine idling, aggressive acceleration, and long-distance driving at high speeds in low gears all contribute to higher fuel consumption.

Last month, I helped a friend inspect a Leopaard CS10. This car consumes around 10.5 liters per 100 km in city driving. Among domestic SUVs, this fuel consumption is considered average, given that the 1.5T engine is hauling such a large body. On highways, it can drop to 8.5 liters, but some long-time owners have reported that turning up the air conditioning can spike the fuel consumption to 12 liters. A special reminder for those considering buying a used Leopaard: check the oxygen sensor and spark plugs, as aging of these components can increase fuel consumption by more than 2 liters.

I drove a Leopard Black Diamond on National Highway 318 for transportation, the 2.4L naturally aspirated version. With the air conditioning on and fully loaded, it consumed 14 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. This vehicle is suitable for rough roads but is indeed fuel-thirsty. Filling up the tank until the pump clicks only allows for a range of just over 400 kilometers. It is recommended that owners regularly clean the throttle body, as the old Mitsubishi engine is prone to carbon buildup, which can reduce fuel consumption by 0.8 liters after cleaning. With fuel prices so high now, one really needs to think twice about using such a rugged off-roader for daily commuting.

Last year's actual fuel consumption data for the Leopaard Q6: 11.3 liters per 100 km in mixed driving conditions. During peak hours in the city, it can reach 13.6 liters, while 9 liters on suburban national highways is a pleasant surprise. The vehicle uses the outdated Mitsubishi 2TZ engine technology, with the manual transmission saving about 1.5 liters compared to the automatic. It runs on 92-octane gasoline, but poor fuel quality can easily trigger the malfunction indicator light. It's recommended to install a tire pressure monitoring system, as insufficient tire pressure can increase fuel consumption by 0.6 liters.
