The Everest currently has 11 models on sale. Among them, the Everest 2020 2.3T gasoline automatic two-wheel drive luxury edition 5-seater and elite edition 5-seater, equipped with a 275 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 9.3L per 100 km. The Everest 2020 2.3T gasoline automatic four-wheel drive luxury edition 7-seater, flagship edition 5-seater, flagship edition 7-seater, luxury edition 5-seater, and elite edition 5-seater; as well as the sports edition 2.3T gasoline automatic four-wheel drive luxury edition 5-seater, flagship edition 7-seater, luxury edition 7-seater, and flagship edition 5-seater, totaling 9 models, all equipped with a 275 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 10.1L per 100 km. The fuel tank capacity is the same across different Everest models. The distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 275 horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 80L, and the distance that can be covered on a full tank is 80/9.3100=860 km. For models equipped with a 275 horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 80L, and the distance that can be covered on a full tank is 80/10.1100=792 km. 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 can increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at a red light can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements typically produce more power and require more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel due to the greater driving torque needed to move the additional weight. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous terrain increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in cold temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, further increasing fuel consumption.

The official combined fuel consumption of the Everest ranges between 9-11 liters per 100 kilometers, with urban driving conditions typically higher at around 11-13 liters, while highway driving can reduce it to 8-9 liters. I've noticed that different models affect the data—for instance, the 4WD version consumes more fuel than the 2WD. Actual driving habits also cause fluctuations; rapid acceleration or idling can increase consumption by 10-20%. Test reports indicate that the Everest's heavy weight and high aerodynamic drag are the main reasons, making it slightly less fuel-efficient than some peers like the Prado. Owner-reported averages hover around 12 liters, which isn't the most economical but is reliable. For long-term use, it's advisable to monitor dashboard data or track via mobile apps to optimize trips. Overall, while not the best in fuel efficiency, its power performance justifies the extra fuel cost.

I've been driving the Everest to and from work for almost two years. It's common for the fuel consumption to reach 15 liters during congested city hours, while it can drop to around 9 liters on smooth suburban roads. Weekend trips with a full load of luggage and uphill climbs consume even more fuel, making a full tank last shorter distances. Driving gently without sudden braking helps maintain a stable average of 12 liters. The car is indeed sturdy and spacious, ideal for family use, but the fuel expenses are high. I use an app to track my monthly fuel costs, which average around 1,200 yuan, significantly more than smaller cars. For urban commuting, I'd recommend opting for a lighter vehicle; this type of SUV is more suited for off-road adventures.

The fuel consumption of the Everest depends on multiple factors: driving habits such as sudden acceleration and hard braking can increase fuel consumption by 10%; road conditions like urban congestion or high-speed wind resistance on hills can affect the fuel gauge; both load and air conditioning usage add to the burden. The vehicle itself is heavy with a large engine, making starting up significantly fuel-consuming. I recommend maintaining a steady speed, reducing the burden of air conditioning; regularly checking tire pressure and ensuring the air filter operates efficiently. These minor adjustments can help save 5-10% on fuel.

Want to reduce the fuel consumption of the Everest? I believe it starts with daily habits: maintain tire pressure at standard values; switch to high-efficiency engine oil and air filters; avoid short trips to allow the engine to fully warm up; plan routes to avoid congestion and use highways more; accelerate gently and use extreme air conditioning modes less; record fuel consumption data to adjust habits, aiming to reduce the average below 10 liters. In the long run, it can also save money. The Everest may not be the most fuel-efficient, but techniques can balance performance and consumption.

The fuel consumption of the Everest has improved somewhat after the new facelift, averaging around 10 liters; it's much more fuel-efficient compared to earlier versions, but still can't match hybrid SUVs like the RAV4. From my observation in comparisons with peers like the Touareg or Wrangler, the Everest sits in the middle—solid in performance but not outstanding in fuel efficiency. There might be hybrid or electric versions in the future, which would be much more economical. Overall, it suits those who prioritize driving quality, though the fuel consumption drawback requires a balance between fun and cost.
