The distance that different models can travel with a full tank of fuel is as follows: 2021 model - 2.0D - Automatic Four-Wheel Drive Blade Hero Edition Xia Ke Type, Xia Ke Type (front and rear electronically controlled locks), Pioneer Type, can travel 75/8.5*100=882km with a full tank. 2020 model - 2.0T - Automatic Four-Wheel Drive Tribute 2020 Edition Xia Ke Type, Supreme Type, Two-Wheel Drive City Hunter Edition Pioneer Type, Xia Ke Type, can travel 75/9.4*100=797km with a full tank. 2021 model - 2.3T - Manual Four-Wheel Drive Blade Hero Edition Pioneer Type, can travel 75/9.7*100=773km with a full tank. 2022 model - 2.0T - Automatic Four-Wheel Drive Official Edition, Ring Tower Champion Edition, 2020 model - 2.0T - Automatic Four-Wheel Drive City Hunter Edition Supreme Type, Xia Ke Type, can travel 75/9.9*100=757km with a full tank. 2021 model - 2.3T - Automatic Four-Wheel Drive Blade Hero Edition Supreme Type, can travel 75/10.6*100=707km with a full tank. The fuel consumption of a vehicle is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not releasing the throttle in advance when encountering a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Vehicles with greater weight will 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 vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during cold starts does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving the BJ40 gasoline version for over two years, and the fuel consumption is worth mentioning. For daily urban commuting, it averages at least 13 liters per 100 kilometers, and can easily exceed 15 liters during traffic jams. Highway cruising is better, staying around 10 liters. Off-roading is where it gets extreme—engaging four-wheel drive and climbing hills can push consumption up to 18 liters effortlessly. As a rugged SUV with high wind resistance and weight, this fuel consumption is acceptable to me, given the outdoor fun it offers. For long-term driving, paying attention to driving habits helps; avoiding aggressive acceleration can save some fuel, adding dozens of kilometers per tank. Additionally, using the heater in winter and AC in summer affects consumption, with seasonal variations up to 2 liters per 100 kilometers in my tests. Overall, be prepared for fuel expenses if you own one.
