What is the actual fuel consumption of the XRV 1.5L?
2 Answers
1.5xrv's official combined fuel consumption is 5.9-6.1L/100km. Here are some related introductions about the Honda XRV: 1. Appearance: The Dongfeng Honda XR-V is the second model derived from the Honda CONCEPT V, sharing the same platform as the GAC Honda Vezel. The overall design is full of strength and very fashionable, perfectly matching the taste of young people. In terms of dimensions, the XR-V measures 4275/1770/1605mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm, the same as the GAC Honda Vezel. 2. Power: The new car will be equipped with an optional 1.8L naturally aspirated engine or a 1.5L Earth Dreams engine, with the former having a maximum power of 136Ps. The transmission system is matched with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a CVT transmission.
I drive a Honda XR-V 1.5L model. During daily city commutes with heavy traffic, the actual fuel consumption is around 9L/100km, but it drops below 7L on highway drives during weekends. Overall, the combined fuel consumption fluctuates between 8-9L. After a year of driving, I realized driving habits significantly impact fuel efficiency—sudden acceleration and frequent braking can cause a sharp rise in fuel consumption, so I now try to accelerate smoothly. Insufficient tire pressure also increases fuel usage, so I check and maintain standard pressure monthly. Overloading the car noticeably consumes more fuel; carrying only essentials saves about 0.5L per trip. Fuel consumption is slightly higher when using AC in summer or warming up the car in winter, but the XR-V's engine tuning is quite efficient overall, justifying its price. My average monthly fuel cost over a year is around 600 RMB, which is reasonable among similar SUVs. I recommend using an app to track refueling mileage for more accurate fuel consumption monitoring.
