What is the actual fuel consumption of the Toyota RAV4?
2 Answers
The actual measured fuel consumption is 8.0L/100km, which is not much different from the 8.3L/100km displayed by the onboard computer. Such fuel consumption performance is considered quite good for a compact SUV in its class. Relevant details are as follows: 1. The Toyota RAV4 is a long-standing member in the domestic joint-venture urban SUV market. After being renamed as the RAV4 Rongfang, it has become more widely recognized. Unlike its tougher siblings like the "Land Cruiser" and "Prado", the RAV4 Rongfang is more oriented towards family use. 2. Comparison of highway fuel consumption between the old RAV4 2.0L and the current RAV4 2.0L. During a weekend trip of nearly 300km, 90% of the journey was on highways with a speed limit of 120km/h, and the remaining 10% was on congested urban ring roads, with an average speed of 90km/h. The final measured fuel consumption for the current RAV4 2.0L was 7.5L/100km, while the old RAV4 2.0L was 9.8L/100km, showing a very significant advantage in fuel economy for the new powertrain.
I've been driving a Toyota RAV4 for quite some years now. For daily commutes in the city with frequent stops and starts, the average fuel consumption is around 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers. On long highway trips, it can drop to as low as 6 liters, which is related to my choice of the gasoline version. I've heard from friends that the hybrid version is even more fuel-efficient, usually just over 5 liters. There are many factors affecting fuel consumption, such as my driving habits. If I accelerate suddenly or brake hard, the fuel consumption can increase by more than 10%, so I'm used to maintaining a steady speed and keeping fewer items in the car to reduce weight. Regular oil changes and checking tire pressure are also important, as insufficient pressure increases friction and raises fuel consumption. Overall, the RAV4's fuel consumption is considered economical among SUVs, making it easy on the wallet when it comes to fuel costs.
