What is the actual fuel consumption of the Prado 27?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the Prado 27 is 13.8L/100km. Below is a related introduction to the Prado 27: Exterior: The newly designed front bumper protrudes outward, is positioned lower, and features round fog lights. The redesigned rear door and rear fender have a more muscular appearance compared to the current model, and the side window area behind the C-pillar is reduced due to the thicker D-pillar. Performance: Compared to other vehicles, the power has increased from 163 horsepower to 230 horsepower, an improvement of 40%. The 0-100 km/h acceleration time has been reduced from 15 seconds to 11 seconds, with an overall power improvement efficiency of 40%.
When I first drove the Prado 27, the fuel consumption varied quite a bit, mainly depending on your driving style. In city traffic with frequent stops at red lights, the fuel consumption can soar to around 14 liters per 100 kilometers, especially in summer when the air conditioning is on. On the highway, maintaining a steady speed of 100 km/h can bring it down to 10-11 liters, making long-distance driving quite economical. The vehicle's weight is another factor—the Prado has a sturdy body and a high center of gravity, and carrying passengers or cargo will increase fuel consumption. It's recommended to maintain the tire pressure at the standard level, which can save you a liter or two. Regular maintenance is crucial, such as timely oil changes and cleaning the fuel injectors, as older vehicles may have carbon buildup issues that lead to higher fuel consumption. In terms of driving habits, gently pressing the accelerator and avoiding sudden braking can keep the fuel consumption stable at around 12 liters on average. However, don't expect it to be too low, as the design of off-road vehicles prioritizes durability over fuel efficiency. The extra fuel cost is worth it for the peace of mind while driving.
