What is the actual fuel consumption of the XC90?
2 Answers
The official combined fuel consumption of the XC90 is: 7.9-8.3L/100KM. The actual fuel consumption measured in test conditions was 9.3 liters per 100 kilometers. Here is some relevant information about the XC90: Visual aspects: The XC90 interior combines materials such as genuine leather, matte wood grain, and chrome, creating a minimalist yet luxurious feel that highlights the XC90's refined and elegant positioning. Hybrid system: A new 48V hybrid system has been added, paired with a 2.0T turbocharged + mechanically supercharged engine, combined with the 48V hybrid system, and matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This setup not only retains the car's strong driving performance but also aligns with environmental trends, achieving the best of both worlds.
As a long-term owner of the Volvo XC90, I've driven the T6 gasoline version for three years and can share real-world fuel consumption figures. In congested urban areas, especially during peak hours, fuel consumption can rise to 13-14L/100km. On smooth highways, it drops back to around 9L, with an average fluctuation between 11-12L/100km. Official test conditions show 8-9L, but actual figures are typically 10-15% higher, which is normal. Multiple factors affect this: aggressive driving habits like rapid acceleration and hard braking can increase consumption by 20%, while the vehicle's weight and high drag coefficient are common SUV drawbacks. Poor maintenance, such as clogged air filters, can also add to fuel costs. To save money, drive smoothly and minimize AC usage, using cruise control on highways. The plug-in hybrid T8 version offers zero fuel consumption in pure electric mode for city driving, with combined long-distance consumption around 8L, making it a more economical option worth considering. However, be mentally prepared for significant fuel expenses if used primarily for daily commuting.
