What is the fuel consumption of the 2021 Highlander?

4 Answers

The official fuel consumption of the 2021 Highlander 2.0T as per the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: 8.2-8.9L/100km. The actual fuel consumption of the vehicle may vary slightly depending on each individual's driving habits and skills. A smoother driving habit generally results in lower fuel consumption, while frequent aggressive driving, overtaking, and other high-RPM operations will appropriately increase the fuel consumption. Below are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Check the air conditioning system in summer: Air conditioning malfunctions are a significant cause of high fuel consumption. If the air conditioning cooling effect is poor, it will require higher fan speeds and lower temperatures to achieve a cooling effect. 2. Frequent sudden braking: Frequent sudden braking is the main reason for persistently high fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. 3. Avoid setting the air conditioning too high in small-displacement vehicles: For vehicles exposed to the sun, it is not advisable to turn on the air conditioning immediately after entering. First, open the windows and set the fan to a higher speed without turning on the air conditioning to expel the hot air inside the vehicle. After the vehicle has cooled down moderately, then turn on the air conditioning.

I've used the 2021 Highlander gasoline version for over a year, with a combined fuel consumption of around 8.5-9.5 liters per 100 kilometers. In urban congestion, it can spike to 10 liters, while highway cruising drops it to just over 7 liters. Using air conditioning or carrying a full load of luggage increases consumption by 1-2 liters. Actual driving experience is crucial: smooth starts and avoiding sudden braking can save a lot of fuel. After regular maintenance of the air filter and tire pressure adjustments, the fuel consumption stabilized somewhat. I find this car's fuel consumption moderate, suitable for daily commuting, especially since Toyota engines are reliable. However, the gap with the hybrid version is significant—the hybrid version only consumes 5.5-6.8 liters, making it more cost-effective in the long run. Beginners can record each refueling to better understand the patterns.

As an owner who has experienced the 2021 Highlander Hybrid, the official combined fuel consumption is 5.8 liters per 100 km. In actual city driving, it's around 6-7 liters, while on highways, it's about 5 liters. With air conditioning on, it rises to 7.5 liters. Many factors affect fuel consumption: tire pressure 0.5 bar lower adds 0.5 liters, frequent start-stop increases consumption by 20%, and carrying over 500 kg adds 1 liter. Compared to the gasoline version, the hybrid has obvious advantages—it's eco-friendly and cost-saving, with the power recovery system being a big help. I usually maintain a steady speed of 60-80 km/h and use synthetic oil for maintenance, keeping fuel consumption stable at a low level. The data monitoring app shows savings of several hundred dollars, and these practical tips are worth sharing with fellow car enthusiasts.

I rented a 2021 Highlander for a week. The gasoline version averaged 9L/100km, while the hybrid version was around 6.5L/100km. Actual consumption depends on road conditions: 11L for short urban trips, 7L for long-distance driving. It's less fuel-consuming than imagined, with the hybrid being particularly impressive, especially at constant speeds for better efficiency. Regular oil and spark plug changes significantly reduced fuel consumption. Such performance is quite balanced for an SUV.

Does mismatched speed and gear in Subject 3 result in point deduction or failure?

Mismatched speed and gear in Subject 3 will result in point deduction. The reason for speed-gear mismatch is that the clutch pedal isn't fully depressed during gear shifting. When shifting to a higher gear, the increased speed isn't detected by the system as a gear change signal, causing it to assume the vehicle remains in the lower gear, which naturally leads to point deduction due to speed mismatch. The key challenges in Subject 3 examination are as follows: 1. Speed-gear mismatch: Errors involving high gear at low speed or low gear at high speed must be avoided during the test. Before shifting gears, ensure the speed is adjusted to match the target gear. 2. Deviation in straight-line driving: Many candidates deliberately reduce speed due to concerns about maintaining a straight path, which is inadvisable. This actually increases the likelihood of trajectory deviation, so maintaining appropriate constant speed is crucial. 3. Parking over 30cm from curb: Subject 3 explicitly requires parking within 30cm of the curb, but this distance proves difficult for many candidates who often park too far from the roadside.

What are the reasons for the squeaking noise in Volkswagen Polo's brakes?

There are several reasons for the squeaking noise in Volkswagen Polo's brakes: 1. ABS braking system producing noise: If the vehicle is equipped with an ABS braking system, the noise may originate from this system. This is because the ABS system activates under poor road conditions, making such noises normal in such scenarios. 2. Foreign objects in the braking system: It is advisable to check at a repair shop for any foreign objects that may have entered the braking system, as these can cause noise. 3. Abnormal operation of the brake caliper: The brake caliper pushes the brake pad to create friction against the brake drum for normal braking. The brake caliper is crucial to the braking system, and keeping it clean during daily driving is essential. If not cleaned regularly, accumulated debris can lead to various noises. 4. Excessive wear of brake pads: Brake pads are consumables. Under normal driving conditions, it's recommended to inspect the brake pads every 5,000 kilometers. Whether replacement is needed depends on the specific situation. Excessive wear of brake pads naturally results in noise.

Must the front wheels cross the line when reversing into the left parking space?

When reversing into the left parking space, the front wheels must cross the line. Below are some key points to note for the Subject 2 driving test: 1. Reversing into the parking space: (1) Ensure you accurately observe the reference points and lines, and use the rearview mirror to monitor the distance between the car body and the line to avoid the car body crossing the line. (2) Do not stop the car before it is completely inside the parking space. Pay attention to the clutch to avoid stopping midway or not fully entering the parking space. After entering the designated area, park the car at the specified position, then proceed to reverse into the parking space. Exit in the opposite direction and reverse into the parking space again. Finally, exit towards the exit direction to complete the test. 2. Parallel parking: (1) When aligning with the parking space, be mindful of the distance between the car body and the space to avoid crossing the line. Also, be careful not to run over the corner of the parking space when exiting. (2) Remember to turn on the turn signal when exiting. After entering the designated area, align the car parallel to the parking space, drive to the front left of the parking space, and then proceed from the rear right.

Where to Obtain the Vehicle and Vessel Tax Payment Certificate?

Vehicle and vessel tax generally does not issue invoices; the payment certificate for vehicle and vessel tax is the compulsory traffic insurance policy. The standards for vehicle and vessel tax have changed as follows: 1. Adjustment of tax payment time and location: The "Vehicle and Vessel Tax Law" changes the tax liability occurrence time from "the month recorded on the vehicle or vessel registration certificate or operation certificate issued by the vehicle or vessel management department" to "the month when ownership or management rights of the vehicle or vessel are obtained"; the tax payment location is changed from "designated by the provincial government" to "the registration location of the vehicle or vessel or the location of the withholding agent." 2. Improvement of tax incentives: In addition to retaining the original "Vehicle and Vessel Tax Provisional Regulations" that allow provincial, autonomous region, and municipal governments to provide periodic tax reductions or exemptions for public transport vehicles and vessels, new tax incentives for energy-saving and new energy vehicles and vessels have been added. 3. Optimization of the tax burden structure: First, the tax burden for large-displacement passenger vehicles has been increased, with higher taxes for larger displacements; second, trailers are calculated at 50% of the tax amount for trucks of the same curb weight; third, the tax burden for yachts has been significantly increased.

Can the green book in the car be replaced if lost?

The green book in the car can be replaced if lost. Relevant information about the motor vehicle green book is as follows: 1. Definition: The car green book refers to the vehicle registration certificate. The vehicle registration certificate is a necessary property ownership document for the vehicle, issued by the vehicle management department of the public security bureau after completing the motor vehicle registration. It is kept by the vehicle owner and not carried with the vehicle. It is required to be presented when handling any vehicle registration procedures such as transfer or change of ownership, and records the relevant information of the vehicle, equivalent to the vehicle's household registration. 2. Notes: If the motor vehicle registration certificate is lost, missing, or damaged, it can be replaced. The vehicle must also be inspected. The vehicle management office should confirm the motor vehicle, review the submitted proofs and documents, and reissue or replace the motor vehicle registration certificate within one day from the date of acceptance. For motor vehicles registered before the implementation of the motor vehicle registration certificate that have not applied for it, the owner can apply for the motor vehicle registration certificate at the local vehicle management office. However, if the owner applies for changes, transfers, or mortgage registration, the motor vehicle registration certificate must be applied for at the vehicle management office before the application.

What are the signs of a faulty clutch fork?

The manifestations of a faulty fork include bending and deformation of the fork; cracks or fractures in the fork; damage to the fork pin, or detachment of the fork from the fork shaft. A damaged fork can lead to difficulty in shifting gears or the inability to engage gears, necessitating timely inspection and replacement. Otherwise, it may affect the normal driving of the vehicle. Generally, the damage to the fork involves the enlargement of the groove at the upper end of the fork head, thinning or grooving of the contact surface at the lower end of the fork, and bending or twisting of the fork body at the lower part. Below is additional information about the clutch: 1. Clutch: The clutch is the assembly in the vehicle's transmission system that directly connects to the engine. Typically, the clutch is installed together with the engine crankshaft's flywheel group and serves as the component that cuts off and transmits power between the engine and the vehicle's transmission system. From starting the vehicle to normal driving, the driver can operate the clutch as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and the transmission system. 2. Function of the clutch: Its role is to allow gradual engagement between the engine and the transmission, ensuring smooth vehicle starts; temporarily disconnecting the engine from the transmission to facilitate gear shifting and reduce impact during shifts; and acting as a separator during emergency braking to prevent overload in the transmission system and other drivetrain components, thereby providing a certain level of protection.
