What is the fuel consumption of the Haval Big Dog?
3 Answers
Haval Big Dog's fuel consumption is approximately 8.38L per 100 kilometers. Here are some relevant details about the Haval Big Dog: 1. Exterior: The dimensions of the new model are 4620mm in length, 1890mm in width, and 1780mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2738mm. 2. Powertrain: The Haval Big Dog is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine coded GW4B15A, delivering a maximum power of 124kW. The rated power (KW/rpm) is 124/5000-5600, and the maximum torque (N·m/rpm) is 285/1400-3600. It comes with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving the Haval Big Dog 1.5T version for almost a year now. My daily commute is mainly in city traffic, with a combined fuel consumption of around 8L/100km, which drops to 6.5L on highways—that's decent. However, it spikes to over 9L when using the AC in summer. Many factors affect this: my habit of sudden acceleration noticeably increases fuel consumption, while smooth driving saves fuel; worn tires or low tire pressure also consume more fuel, so I check them regularly; heavy loads, like family trips with luggage, add about 0.5L. Compared to the official NEDC rating of 7.2L, my actual consumption is higher but reasonable for an SUV. Using 92-octane gas keeps costs low—only about 200 yuan a month for 500 km. To save fuel, I often use eco mode and avoid peak hours. Overall, it's comfortable with spacious interiors, though not the most fuel-efficient, so optimizing driving habits is key.
When discussing the fuel consumption of the Haval Big Dog, I've researched different versions: the 1.5T engine has an official rating of 7.5L/100km, while the 2.0T is around 8.5L, but actual figures vary by driver. In city driving with frequent traffic jams, it can exceed 9L, while maintaining below 7L on highways is considered good performance. The vehicle's weight and high drag coefficient contribute to its relatively high base fuel consumption, but the engine efficiency is decent. Regular oil changes and air filter replacements can improve efficiency. From owner feedback I've seen, driving habits are the most critical factor: aggressive acceleration can increase consumption by 10%, and fully loaded SUVs consume more fuel. Weather conditions also matter—rainy days increase road resistance, and winter warm-ups slightly raise fuel use. Overall, its fuel efficiency ranks slightly above average in its class, and I recommend paying attention to tire pressure and gentle acceleration.
