What is the actual fuel consumption of the Outlander 2.0?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Outlander 2.0 is 7.4-7.5L/100km. There are currently 8 models of the Outlander 2.0 on sale. The Changxing Edition 5-seater, Changxiang Edition 5-seater, and Yaodong Edition 5-seater have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.4L/100km. The Changxiang Edition 7-seater has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.5L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 8.0-9.5L/100km. Here are 5 tips to help reduce fuel consumption while driving: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid suddenly pressing the accelerator hard, as this can multiply fuel consumption. Light acceleration, light braking, and early braking: While driving, press the accelerator lightly to avoid sudden increases in engine speed and prevent the car from shaking during operation, making the car more fuel-efficient. By anticipating road conditions and applying slow and even acceleration or braking, fuel economy can be improved by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep the tire pressure at the level recommended by the manufacturer. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (approximately 0.2 in metric units relative to the standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular maintenance or vehicle inspection: Timely oil changes can reduce carbon deposits (carbon deposits can cause poor ignition, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, even cylinder misfires). Regularly check and replace the air filter if it's dirty, and clean or replace the fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle body as per the mileage. Close the windows while driving. Driving with the windows open increases wind resistance. The greater the wind resistance, the more resistance the car encounters, requiring more power and thus increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Outlander 2.0 for almost two years, and the real fuel consumption depends on road conditions. For daily city commuting with heavy traffic, it averages around 10-11L/100km; on highways with cruise control engaged, it easily drops to 7-8L/100km. Using AC in summer adds 1-2L, while winter is slightly better but not much lower. The worst-case scenario was half-hour traffic jams pushing consumption to 12L, though keeping it at 10L daily isn't difficult. Fuel efficiency degrades slightly with age – using full synthetic oil helps, and frequent tire pressure checks save fuel while improving safety. Overall, its consumption is decent, more economical than the 2.4L version.
