What is the fuel consumption of the Jimny?
3 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Jimny is around 10 liters. The fuel consumption of a car is not only related to the car itself but also closely tied to the driver's habits and the driving conditions. Reasons for the Jimny's high fuel consumption: In terms of power, the new Jimny is equipped with a 0.6T and a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. Although the engine displacement of this car is relatively small, it is a genuine off-road vehicle. The classic body-on-frame structure combined with Suzuki's unique AllGrip four-wheel-drive system results in slightly higher fuel consumption for this car. Fuel-saving tips for daily driving: If you want to improve your car's fuel economy, the first thing to do is to change your driving habits. When driving, try to maintain a steady speed and avoid sudden acceleration and deceleration, as this is the most fuel-efficient way to drive. In daily use, it is also essential to maintain your car regularly. Regular maintenance ensures that the car remains in good condition, which also helps improve fuel economy.
I've been driving my Jimny for commuting in the city for almost half a year. The average fuel consumption is about 8.5L per 100km in urban areas, and it can drop to around 7.2L on highways. Overall, the combined fuel consumption ranges between 7.8L to 9.1L, depending on traffic conditions. During rush hour, the consumption can spike above 10L, mainly because although the car is small, it has significant wind resistance, and unstable engine RPM also affects it. I maintain good driving habits, avoiding sudden braking as much as possible and regularly checking tire pressure, which helps save some fuel costs. On weekends when I take my family out, driving on suburban roads results in more stable fuel consumption. The Jimny's fuel tank isn't large, so I need to refuel after about 350km when the tank is full. Overall, the fuel consumption is manageable, but maintenance is crucial to avoid increased expenses and erratic fuel consumption due to minor issues.
When I take my Jimny off-roading, the fuel consumption is quite high, averaging around 8L combined. But as soon as I hit mountain trails or desert terrain, it immediately jumps to 10-12L per 100km. In off-road mode, the higher chassis, larger tires, and increased engine load, especially when climbing or on bumpy roads, make the fuel gauge drop rapidly. On regular roads, it's a bit better, staying between 7-9L, but the fun of off-roading makes the extra fuel cost worth it. I've tested different scenarios, like muddy sections in the rain where poor traction causes the system to increase fuel consumption—it's wise to carry a spare fuel can. Overall, the Jimny's fuel consumption varies with driving style; don't just rely on official figures, a few real drives will give you the true picture.
