What is the actual urban fuel consumption of the RAV4?
1 Answers
The RAV4 has a total of 10 models currently on sale. Among them, seven models such as the 2021 2.0L CVT two-wheel-drive Urban Edition and the 2021 2.0L CVT two-wheel-drive Fashion Edition, equipped with a 171 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.8L per 100 kilometers. The other three models, including the 2021 modified Hybrid 2.5L CVT two-wheel-drive Elite Edition and the 2021 modified Hybrid 2.5L CVT four-wheel-drive Elite PLUS Edition, equipped with a 178 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 4.7L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity of different RAV4 models varies, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 171 horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 55L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is 55/5.8*100=948KM. Models equipped with a 178 horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 55L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is 55/4.7*100=1170KM. The level of a car's fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle in advance when approaching a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up the car, which also increases fuel consumption.
