Here is the fuel consumption information for the WEY VV5: the 1.5T model consumes 9.1 liters per 100 kilometers, while the 2.0T model consumes 9.8 liters per 100 kilometers. Below are the relevant details: 1. The VV5 is a compact SUV under the WEY brand, with a wheelbase of 2680 mm, and dimensions of 4462 mm in length, 1857 mm in width, and 1638 mm in height. The VV5 is a five-door, five-seat SUV model. 2. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine of the VV5 has a maximum power output of 126 kW and a maximum torque of 287 Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 5000 to 5600 rpm and its maximum torque at 1400 to 3000 rpm. It features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 3. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers 227 horsepower and a maximum torque of 387 Nm. This engine achieves its maximum power at 5500 rpm and its maximum torque at 1800 to 3600 rpm. It also features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head with a cast iron block. This engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
When I first got my VV5, I was also fooled by the official fuel consumption figures. The dashboard showed a pretty 7L/100km. But after two months of city commuting, it's a whole different story! On roads with many traffic lights, it starts at 11L, and can spike to 13L in traffic jams. Highway driving is truly fuel-efficient though, with cruise control at 80km/h bringing it down to around 7.5L. My 1.5T two-wheel-drive version now averages 9.2L combined. I've seen owners in the group chat who manage 8.5L, probably due to favorable road conditions and gentle driving. This car weighs over 1.7 tons, and the 2.0T version is even thirstier. Before buying, it's best to ask local owners for real-world data—the dashboard's 'happy numbers' are just for show.
Let me be honest, fuel consumption really depends on your driving technique. I've driven this 2.0T AWD model for three years - it can hit 14L/100km if you stomp the accelerator, but maintaining 60km/h at 2000rpm on elevated roads keeps consumption stable around 9L. AC usage in summer adds about 1L more than winter. Frequent stop-start in urban alleys burns the most fuel, while suburban highways only need 8L. My advice? Don't fixate on official test data - budget 0.8 yuan per kilometer for real-world usage. Just remember, fresh tires or wrong engine oil grade will push your consumption higher.
