What is the fuel consumption of the Jeep Commander 5.7?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the 5.7-liter Commander is approximately 20 liters per 100 kilometers. During aggressive driving, it can exceed 30 liters per 100 kilometers. Only the imported version of the Commander is equipped with the 5.7-liter engine. More details are as follows: 1. The Commander's 5.7-liter naturally aspirated engine is a HEMI engine, delivering 326 horsepower and a maximum torque of 240 Nm. The engine reaches its maximum power at 5,000 rpm and its maximum torque at 4,000 rpm. It features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block. 2. The engine is paired with a 5AT transmission. The 5AT transmission is reliable and durable, but its gear shifting is less smooth, and it tends to increase fuel consumption. 3. The Commander's front suspension uses a double-wishbone independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a solid axle non-independent suspension. The Commander has decent off-road capabilities, with the solid axle suspension offering a simple structure, higher reliability, and durability, thereby enhancing the vehicle's off-road performance.
I've been driving a Jeep Commander 5.7 for several years, and the fuel consumption is indeed quite high. Driving frequently in the city, it easily reaches 18-20 liters per 100 kilometers in traffic jams. On weekends, highway driving can bring it down to around 15 liters. With its large displacement, the 5.7L V8 engine delivers strong power, making uphill climbs effortless, but the trade-off is higher fuel consumption. I spend several hundred dollars more on gas each month, which is quite a strain, so I've learned to plan routes to avoid peak hours and maintain regular servicing, changing the oil and air filters, keeping tire pressure at recommended levels—this occasionally saves a liter or two. The main appeal of this car is its excellent off-road performance and spacious interior, perfect for family trips. New owners should accept this characteristic and not expect fuel efficiency, though using cruise control on long trips helps slightly. If budget is tight, considering a used or smaller-displacement vehicle might be more economical, but if you prioritize driving experience, this fuel consumption is arguably worth it.
