What is the fuel consumption of the Leopard Black King Kong?
4 Answers
Leopard Black King Kong fuel consumption: 11.2-11.8L/100km. Below is a partial introduction about the Leopard Black King Kong: Engine: Equipped with an improved V6-G72 engine imported from Japan's Mitsubishi Corporation, featuring multiple high-tech enhancements. Through the redesign of the engine's intake and exhaust systems, the intake noise has been effectively reduced, while heat loss has been minimized, resulting in more robust power. Body design: Adopts the latest international non-load-bearing waist-drum-shaped body, significantly improving the vehicle's aerodynamic performance, reducing the drag coefficient, and enhancing stability at high speeds.
As a veteran owner who has driven the Black Diamond for 5 years, this car's fuel consumption is indeed not low. My daily urban commute with AC on averages around 15L/100km, and it can reach 18L in summer traffic jams – filling up really hurts. However, on highways it drops to 12-13L, after all it's a 2.4L Mitsubishi engine carrying a two-ton body. Last year's test drive on National Highway 318 showed a combined 14.5L consumption, and after installing roof racks, the increased wind resistance added another 0.8L. For friends considering AT tires, I suggest avoiding overly wide 265 size – after my upgrade, I noticed the fuel gauge drops significantly faster.
According to the test data released by Sanqi, the 2008 manual transmission Black King Kong has a combined fuel consumption of 11.9L/100km, but the actual driving deviation is significant. Based on my tests of three generations of models: highway cruising fuel consumption is about 11.5L, while in urban areas with frequent traffic lights it can reach 16.2L, and off-road driving often exceeds 20L. When switching the part-time four-wheel drive, the increased resistance of the driveshaft can cause an instantaneous fuel consumption rise of about 17%. Additionally, aging spark plugs in older vehicles can easily lead to carbon buildup in the fuel system, further increasing fuel consumption.
A veteran who has driven over a dozen off-road vehicles tells you: The Black Diamond's fuel consumption in the 14-16L range is considered normal. Don't compare the fuel efficiency of this rugged body-on-frame off-roader with sedans—its mechanical 4WD system's transfer case alone consumes 0.8L of fuel. Maintaining tire pressure at 2.8Bar saves fuel, and spark plugs and air filters must be replaced at 35,000 km—my neighbor's clogged air filter directly increased fuel consumption by 2L. Installing auxiliary lights increases wind resistance, and a roof cargo box adds 10% more fuel consumption.
