What is the fuel consumption of the new RAV4?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the new RAV4 varies between 8.5L and 9.5L depending on the version. The RAV4 comes in two engine displacements: 2.0L and 2.4L. Under normal driving conditions, including traffic congestion and stop-and-go situations, the combined fuel consumption for the 2.0L model ranges from 9 to 11 liters, while the 2.4L model ranges from 12 to 14 liters. Regardless of the engine size, the fuel consumption is relatively high. If driving on mountainous roads, the fuel consumption is normal, but on regular asphalt roads, it remains on the higher side. New RAV4 configurations: The latest update on the new RAV4 is that it will be released on August 26. Currently, physical models are already available at 4S dealerships. The new models primarily feature 2.0L and 2.5L engine options. The 2.0L engine is paired with a CVT transmission, while the 2.5L engine is matched with a 6AT transmission. This is a significant improvement over the previous 4AT transmission. Consequently, fuel consumption has decreased, especially for the 2.0L model with the CVT transmission, with foreign users reporting 6-8L per 100 kilometers.
I've been driving the new RAV4 hybrid for almost a year now, and as a daily commuter, the fuel consumption has really surprised me. In the city, it's usually around 5.3 to 5.8 liters per 100 km, never exceeding 6 liters, and even in traffic jams, it only increases slightly. On the highway, it's even more economical, dropping to around 4.9 liters per 100 km. A full tank easily lasts over 800 km. Using air conditioning or carrying a full load does increase fuel consumption a bit, but overall, it's very well controlled. I’d recommend choosing the hybrid version—it’s stable and saves money. From my experience, driving habits significantly affect fuel consumption; gradual acceleration and less sudden braking help. I fill up half as often as with a pure gasoline car, making it hassle-free for long-term use.
