What is the actual fuel consumption of the VV5?
3 Answers
The actual average fuel consumption of the VV5 is 11.8 liters per 100 kilometers. Below is relevant information about the VV5: Introduction: The VV5 is the second mass-produced model under the WEY brand, launched in August 2017. It adheres to the standards of a luxury SUV in terms of exterior design, interior features, and intelligent technology. Notably, its advanced 360-degree intelligent safety configuration makes it a symbol of Chinese luxury SUVs. Dimensions: The WEY VV5 is positioned as a compact SUV, with dimensions of 4462*1857*1638 mm and a wheelbase of 2680 mm. It comes equipped with either 19-inch or 20-inch wheels. The VV5c features an adaptive cruise control system in the middle of the front lip.
I've been driving the VV5 for over two years now, mainly for city commuting. The actual fuel consumption is slightly higher than the official rating, averaging 10-12L/100km in congested urban areas, and reaching 13L with AC on during summer. It performs well on highways, maintaining 7.5-8L/100km at 100km/h cruise control. Considering its 1.7-ton curb weight powered by a 2.0T engine, higher fuel consumption is understandable. I recommend developing anticipatory driving habits—avoid sudden braking/acceleration and ease off the throttle before traffic lights. Maintaining tire pressure at 2.5BAR shows noticeable fuel savings, and regularly clearing trunk clutter helps reduce weight.
As a frequent long-distance driver, I've found the VV5's highway fuel consumption to be quite stable. The most fuel-efficient speed range is between 90-110 km/h, with the dashboard showing 7.3L/100km. In actual tests, a full tank can cover about 620 km. On mixed national road conditions, fuel consumption is around 8.5L/100km, while it typically surges to 11L/100km in congested urban areas. Air conditioning affects fuel consumption by approximately 1.5 points, and winter warm-up consumes noticeably more fuel. I recommend using 95-octane gasoline - although more expensive, its complete combustion actually saves money in practice. After each maintenance service, fuel consumption drops by about 0.5 points, demonstrating the importance of regular oil changes.
