What is the fuel consumption of the 2.4L Camry?
2 Answers
The Camry 2.4 has 12 models. Among them, the 2011 240G Classic Anniversary Edition, Luxury Anniversary Edition, 2010 240G Classic Edition, Luxury Edition, NAVI Luxury Navigation Edition, Premium Edition, Gbook Intelligent Navigation Edition, NAVI Premium Navigation Edition, and Gbook Intelligent Navigation Edition (9 models in total) are equipped with a 167-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 10.3L/100km. The Camry 2010 240HG Luxury Edition, equipped with a 150-horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 10.3L/100km. The Camry 2010 240HV Premium Edition and Gbook Intelligent Navigation Edition (2 models), equipped with a 150-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6L/100km. The fuel tank capacity varies among different Camry 2.4 models. The distance achievable on a full tank is as follows: Models with a 167-horsepower engine and NEDC fuel consumption of 10.3L/100km have a fuel tank capacity of 70L, allowing a distance of 70/10.3*100=680km on a full tank. Models with a 150-horsepower engine and NEDC fuel consumption of 10.3L/100km have a fuel tank capacity of 65L, allowing a distance of 65/10.3*100=631km on a full tank. Models with a 150-horsepower engine and NEDC fuel consumption of 6L/100km have a fuel tank capacity of 65L, allowing a distance of 65/6*100=1083km on a full tank. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as rapid acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements, as larger displacements typically produce more power and require more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel due to the greater driving torque required. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption.
I've tested the fuel consumption of my 2.4L Camry several times, especially during urban commuting. It typically ranges between 11 to 12 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on traffic congestion. On highways, it improves slightly, dropping to around 8 to 9 liters. On average, daily driving consumes about 10 liters per 100 kilometers, costing roughly 70 to 80 cents per kilometer. This fuel efficiency level isn't excessively high but is slightly worse than newer models, primarily because the 2.4L engine features a naturally aspirated design tuned for comfort rather than fuel economy. Driving habits significantly impact consumption—sudden acceleration or frequent short trips can spike it above 13 liters. Regular oil changes, tire pressure checks, and maintaining a cruising speed of 60-80 km/h optimize efficiency. For older vehicles, carbon buildup may increase consumption, so don't neglect maintenance. Overall, it offers ample power with moderate fuel consumption, making it suitable as a family car for occasional long trips.
