What is the actual fuel consumption of the VV5?
2 Answers
VV5 has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.7L per 100 kilometers under standard driving conditions. Here is some relevant information about fuel consumption calculation: Simple calculation method: For example, if you fill up with 200 yuan worth of 95-octane gasoline, and the current price of 95-octane gasoline is 7.15 yuan per liter, and you have driven 500 kilometers, then you can calculate the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers by dividing the refueling amount by the unit price and the driving distance, resulting in a fuel consumption of 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers. Calculation of fuel cost per kilometer: If the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 5.5 liters and the gasoline price is 7.15 yuan per liter, then the fuel cost per 100 kilometers is 39.325 yuan. By dividing the fuel cost per 100 kilometers by 100 kilometers, you can get the fuel cost per kilometer.
I've been driving the VV5 for almost a year now. The official fuel consumption figures are quite low, but the real-world usage doesn't match that. In city driving with frequent stop-and-go traffic, the fuel consumption is usually around 9.5 to 11 liters per 100 kilometers, and it goes even higher when using air conditioning or carrying more passengers. Last week, I took a highway trip maintaining speeds between 80-100 km/h, and the fuel consumption dropped to just over 8 liters, which is pretty good. Driving habits also play a key role - when I tried aggressive acceleration by stomping on the gas pedal, the fuel consumption noticeably spiked. It's gotten slightly better now that I've learned to drive more smoothly. Keeping tire pressure at the recommended level and regularly changing the air filter can help prevent increased fuel consumption. Overall, for an SUV, the VV5's fuel efficiency is about average - not too thirsty but not particularly fuel-efficient either. For real-world usage, you should budget for around 10 liters per 100 kilometers.
