What is the actual fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Beijing BJ40?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Beijing BJ40 is approximately 10.9 liters. Taking the 2020 Beijing BJ40 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4630mm, width 1923mm, height 1871mm, wheelbase 2745mm, fuel tank capacity 75 liters, luggage compartment capacity 532 to 965 liters, and body weight 2080kg. The 2020 Beijing BJ40 is equipped with a 2.0T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 224ps, maximum power of 165kw, maximum torque of 380nm, and is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving my Beijing BJ40 for several years, mainly using it for long-distance trips and off-road sections. The actual fuel consumption varies significantly. For example, when driving on mountainous gravel roads, the fuel consumption can spike to over 14 liters, sometimes even close to 15 liters, as the vehicle has to handle steep slopes and large rocks. On highways, when the driving conditions are stable, the fuel consumption can drop to around 10 liters. Overall, it fluctuates between 11 and 13 liters on average. I've observed that driving habits have a huge impact: sudden acceleration or hard braking can increase fuel consumption by nearly 2 liters, so I recommend using cruise control to save some fuel. Weather also plays a role, with fuel consumption slightly higher when using the heater in winter or the air conditioning in summer. Additionally, regular maintenance like oil changes and cleaning the fuel injectors can help a bit, but I value the BJ40's off-road capability more, so the fuel consumption is still acceptable to me.
