What is the fuel consumption of the Ford Territory?
3 Answers
The Ford Territory currently has 7 models on sale, including the 2021 Territory S EcoBoost 145 CVT Smart Edition, the 2021 Territory S EcoBoost 145 CVT Smart Light Hybrid Edition, and the 2020 Territory S EcoBoost 145 Manual Basic Edition, among others. Models equipped with a 140-horsepower engine have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.7L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity varies among different models of the Ford Territory. The distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 140-horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 52L, allowing them to travel 52/6.7*100=776KM 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 can increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as rapid acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before reaching a traffic 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, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also tend to have higher fuel consumption due to the greater driving torque needed. 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 during cold starts, requiring more gasoline 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.
I've been driving the Ford Territory for almost half a year now, mainly for commuting and weekend trips. During peak hours in the city, the fuel consumption can soar to around 10 liters per 100 kilometers, but it's very fuel-efficient on highways, dropping to about 7 liters. On average, it's around 8.5 liters, but honestly, it depends on driving habits; I try to maintain a steady speed and avoid sudden acceleration and braking, keeping the tire pressure within the normal range to save a bit more. The fuel consumption was slightly higher during the first month of the break-in period but stabilized afterward. Driving an SUV is convenient for both passengers and cargo, but fuel consumption definitely increases when going downhill with a heavy load. Overall, I find it quite economical, just don't compare it with sedans.
As an SUV, the fuel consumption performance of the Ford Territory depends on the model. For example, based on my research, the 1.5T gasoline version has an average daily combined fuel consumption of around 8.5 liters per 100 kilometers. On the highway, driving steadily can reduce it to just over 7 liters. In city driving, due to frequent traffic lights, it often jumps above 10 liters, so the key is to develop fuel-saving habits, such as avoiding unnecessary hard braking and coasting by releasing the throttle early. Weather also has a significant impact; using air conditioning in summer adds about 0.5 liters. Regular maintenance, like replacing the air filter, can help the engine run smoother, with tested fuel consumption dropping back below 8 liters. I recommend recording several fuel refill data points after purchasing the car to compare with official parameters, as actual driving conditions can vary widely.
