What is the fuel consumption of the Honda UR-V?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Honda UR-V is 7.2-8.7L/100km. Currently, there are 5 models of the Honda UR-V on sale. The two-wheel-drive Zhiyue version and the two-wheel-drive Zhiya version have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.2L/100km. The two-wheel-drive Zunya version has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 8.3L/100km. The four-wheel-drive Zunyao version and the four-wheel-drive Zunxiang version have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 8.7L/100km. The above figures are based on the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than these values, ranging from 7.8-11.0L/100km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car 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 easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Cars with greater weight also have higher fuel consumption because more torque is needed to drive them. 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 the car's 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 to combust, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine control unit may command higher RPMs to warm up the engine, further increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Honda UR-V 1.5T version for a few months now. The fuel consumption is quite high for daily commuting in Shanghai's urban areas, usually ranging from 10 to 12L per 100km. During rush hour traffic jams, it can even go up to 13L. However, it's much better on highways - when I drove to Hangzhou, it showed around 7.5L. I think it's related to driving habits - my husband always likes to step hard on the accelerator, which makes the fuel consumption soar. The spacious interior is truly convenient for family use, but the monthly gasoline cost exceeds 1,000 yuan, much more expensive than smaller cars. I recommend using cruise control more often with this car, as it can save a lot of fuel, especially during long-distance trips - the effect is more noticeable then.
