Among them, the Beijing BJ40-2022-2.0T-Automatic Four-Wheel Drive Official Edition, Champion Edition, 2020-2.0T-Automatic Four-Wheel Drive City Hunter Edition Supreme, and Xia Ke Edition, equipped with a 224 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 9.9L per 100km. The 2020-2.0T-Automatic Four-Wheel Drive Tribute 2020 Edition Xia Ke, Supreme, Automatic Two-Wheel Drive City Hunter Edition Pioneer, and Xia Ke Edition, equipped with a 224 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 9.4L per 100km. The 2022-2.3T-Automatic Four-Wheel Drive Excellence Edition, 2021-2.3T-Automatic Four-Wheel Drive Blade Hero Edition Supreme, and 2020-2.3T-Automatic Four-Wheel Drive Rainforest Cross Edition, equipped with a 231 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 10.3L per 100km. The 2021-2.0D-Automatic Four-Wheel Drive Blade Hero Edition Xia Ke, Xia Ke Edition (front and rear electronic control locks), and Pioneer Edition, equipped with a 163 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 8.5L per 100km. The 2021-2.3T-Manual Four-Wheel Drive Blade Hero Edition Pioneer, equipped with a 211 horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 9.7L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of different BJ40 off-road vehicle models is the same. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 224 horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 75L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 75/9.9*100=758km and 75/9.4*100=798km. Models equipped with a 231 horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 75L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 75/10.6*100=708km.
I've been driving my BJ40 off-road vehicle to and from work for a long time, and I've noticed that the fuel consumption really fluctuates a lot. In city traffic jams, the fuel consumption can reach 15 liters per 100 kilometers due to frequent stops, starts, and acceleration, and it gets worse with the air conditioning on, reaching 16-17 liters. On the highway, it's much more economical, staying steady at 11-12 liters, and even better with cruise control. This is a hardcore off-road vehicle with a powerful 2.0T engine, but the body is heavy and has high wind resistance, so the overall average is around 13 liters, which isn't exactly fuel-efficient. I've tried traveling light and driving gently, managing to keep it below 12 liters, but in off-road mode when climbing mountains and crossing rough terrain, it can jump up to 18 liters. Before buying, I knew this was a trade-off: if you want off-road fun, you have to be prepared to pay for the fuel. I suggest potential buyers calculate their budget carefully.
