2 Answers
There are a total of 8 models of the Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 currently on sale. Among them, the 2021 model - 2.0L - two-wheel drive Yaodong Edition - 5-seater, Enjoy Edition - 5-seater, and Travel Edition - 5-seater are equipped with a 166 horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.4L per 100 kilometers. The 2021 model - facelift - 2.0L - two-wheel drive Enjoy Edition - 7-seater is also equipped with a 166 horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.5L per 100 kilometers. The 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine of the Outlander has a maximum power of 166 horsepower and a maximum torque of 201 Nm. The maximum power speed of this engine is 6000 rpm, and the maximum torque speed is 4200 rpm. This engine is equipped with multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with a CVT transmission. The fuel consumption of a car is closely related to driving habits, and road conditions also have a certain impact on fuel consumption. The fuel tank capacity of the Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 is 63L. The distance that different models can travel on a full tank of fuel is as follows: For the 2021 model - 2.0L - two-wheel drive Yaodong Edition - 5-seater, Enjoy Edition - 5-seater, and Travel Edition - 5-seater, the distance on a full tank is 63/7.4*100=851km. For the 2021 model - facelift - 2.0L - two-wheel drive Enjoy Edition - 7-seater, the distance on a full tank is 63/7.5*100=840km. 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 displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. 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 temperature: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to burn, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 for almost three years now, mainly for city commuting. During traffic jams, the fuel consumption rises to about 9 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers, while on highways it drops to around 7 liters, which is quite balanced overall. The engine is relatively quiet, and the ride is stable. Fuel consumption also depends on my driving habits—for example, more sudden braking during rush hour increases fuel usage, while weekend trips with the family and luggage allow for better fuel efficiency on highway cruises. For maintenance, I regularly change the oil and air filters, about every six months, which helps keep the fuel consumption fluctuating around 8.5 liters, saving a bit more money than expected. Overall, as a family SUV, the Outlander is quite practical and offers good economy.
