What is the actual fuel consumption of the VV5?
4 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.
From my experience, the actual fuel consumption of the VV5 is influenced by many factors, fluctuating between 9 to 11 liters per 100 kilometers. Aggressive driving, frequent starts and stops, or driving in congested urban areas can easily push consumption above 11 liters; conversely, maintaining a steady speed on highways might reduce it to around 8.5 liters. Maintenance condition is crucial—issues like clogged air filters or insufficient tire pressure can significantly increase fuel consumption, as commonly reported by owners during repairs. Proper engine maintenance can help save some fuel. Additionally, as the car ages, fuel consumption may rise. Overall, the actual fuel consumption is often 1-2 liters higher than the official data, so it's practical to budget for around 10 liters per 100 kilometers in daily planning.
I've been driving the VV5 for a while and noticed that the actual fuel consumption isn't a fixed value. For short city commutes with frequent traffic lights, it's normal to reach 11 liters per 100 km. However, on weekend highway trips with steady cruising, the fuel consumption drops to around 8 liters. Personal driving habits make a big difference—after adjusting to gentle acceleration and less braking, my fuel consumption stabilized at about 9 liters. Weather also plays a role, with summer AC use increasing consumption by roughly 0.5 liters. It's normal for real-world figures to be slightly higher than official ratings, so I recommend estimating based on your actual commuting conditions.
