1 Answers
Introduction to the fuel consumption difference between the 2WD and 4WD versions of the Highlander: The difference in fuel consumption per 100 kilometers between the 2WD and 4WD versions of the same model is approximately 0.2 to 0.5 liters. The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Highlander 2WD Luxury version is 8.3L per 100 kilometers, while the 4WD Luxury version is 8.7L per 100 kilometers, showing a difference of about 0.4L. However, based on actual measured fuel consumption, both vehicles are around 10.1L to 10.3L per 100 kilometers. Below are the factors that affect a car's fuel consumption: 1. Air conditioning cooling and electricity usage; 2. Driving conditions; 3. Vehicle weight and condition, engine oil performance, tire pressure, and tire resistance; 4. Driving habits and braking habits; 5. Engine temperature (optimal around 70 degrees; too low, and the engine oil viscosity increases, reducing lubrication; too high, and the oil's adhesion decreases, reducing lubrication, while the cooling fan consumes electricity and thus fuel); 6. Vehicle body design.
