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.

As an eco-conscious car owner, the fuel efficiency of the new RAV4 is impressive, especially the hybrid version with an official city rating of just 5.4L/100km and 4.8L on highways. This saves a significant amount of fuel and reduces carbon emissions, cutting nearly 30% of energy consumption compared to traditional fuel-powered vehicles. During daily driving, I noticed the low fuel consumption when starting with electric power, and it doesn’t waste fuel even in traffic jams. The only drawback is a slight increase in fuel consumption when using the heater or air conditioning, but it generally stays below 6L. When choosing a car, I recommend test-driving to experience the fuel-saving effects of switching driving modes—it’s truly cost-effective for city commuting.

Should You Engage the Handbrake or Shift Gears First When Starting an Automatic Transmission Car?

When starting an automatic transmission car, you should first shift into gear and then release the handbrake, as this is a safer operating sequence. Generally speaking, whether you shift into gear first or release the handbrake first won't have any impact on the vehicle's transmission components. The purpose of releasing the handbrake last is to prevent the car from rolling. The specific steps for starting the car after getting in are as follows: Insert the key into the ignition switch, press the brake pedal to start the vehicle, release the brake pedal after the engine starts, and wait for 1 minute (this can be extended appropriately in winter) to allow the engine to be fully lubricated. During this time, you can fasten your seatbelt, adjust your seat, and check the dashboard for any abnormal warning lights. Also, ensure the rearview mirrors provide a good view, and turn on the necessary lights if needed. Then, press the brake pedal, shift into gear, and finally release the handbrake.

Can ETC Cards Installed in Cars Be Stolen and Swiped?

ETC cards inserted in vehicles are generally not susceptible to theft and unauthorized swiping, as ETC requires the use of specialized cards that can only communicate with authorized devices, such as ETC equipment at highway entrances and exits. Handheld devices cannot conduct transactions, making the possibility of theft after loss virtually nonexistent. However, it is recommended to remove the ETC card when parking to further prevent any potential unauthorized use. ETC Card Binding: There are two types of ETC card binding: one involves binding with a credit card, and the other with a debit card. How ETC Works: Through the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield, specialized short-range communication is established with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations. This, combined with computer networking technology, allows for backend settlement processing with banks, enabling vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still fulfilling the payment obligation for highway or bridge tolls.

How many kilometers can a water-cooled motorcycle run continuously?

How many kilometers a water-cooled motorcycle can run continuously largely depends on the fuel capacity. Typically, the range of a motorcycle is around two hundred kilometers. Advantages of water-cooled motorcycles: Water cooling is an essential cooling system for multi-cylinder, high-power, and high-speed engines. Water-cooled engines are currently the mainstream, offering high cooling efficiency, reliable operation, and effective temperature control for high-power and high-speed engines. In water-cooled motorcycles, the throttle valve closes when the temperature is low until the oil temperature rises to achieve optimal lubrication. When the temperature is high, the throttle valve fully opens, and the radiator starts working. If the temperature becomes too high, the fan activates to cool the engine down to its optimal operating temperature. This is the standard working principle of water cooling. Disadvantages of water-cooled motorcycles: High cost, complex structure, and high failure rate, as the external radiator also occupies more space. Blindly converting to water cooling not only fails to improve performance but can also lead to longer warm-up times, excessive cold-engine wear, and premature oil burning.

What is the intake form of a 2WD engine?

It generally adopts the naturally aspirated intake method. A naturally aspirated engine uses the negative pressure generated in the cylinder to draw in external air, characterized by smooth power output, long service life, and easy maintenance. The relevant introduction is as follows: 1. 2WD (four-wheel drive, its English name is 2-wheel-drive) uses low-ratio transmission devices to help the vehicle overcome slipping on muddy and snowy roads, just like driving off-road, on rocky terrain, or over rolling hills. These vehicles must shift into low-ratio transmission when stopped or moving at low speeds, and the shifting is done via a gear lever or button. 2. In addition to natural aspiration, the intake forms include turbocharging and supercharging. A turbocharger is installed on the engine, which can be understood as an air compressor. It uses the exhaust gas from the engine as power to drive the turbine of the turbocharger, which in turn drives the coaxial impeller to rotate. The impeller compresses the air sent from the air filter pipe and then delivers it to the cylinder. As the engine speed increases, the exhaust gas discharge speed and turbine speed also increase synchronously, thereby increasing the air compression level and the engine's air intake, thus improving the engine's power.

How Many Kilometers Can a New Energy Vehicle Travel per Kilowatt-Hour?

New energy vehicles can travel approximately 5 kilometers per kilowatt-hour. The driving range of a new energy vehicle is mainly determined by the capacity of its battery, while factors such as motor efficiency, drag coefficient, and energy recovery also have some influence on the range. Benefits of new energy vehicles: Fuel savings: They generally use natural gas, petroleum gas, hydrogen, or electricity as power sources. They reduce exhaust emissions and effectively protect the environment. New energy vehicles produce less exhaust and cause less pollution. High efficiency: New energy vehicles typically adopt new technologies and structures, making them more efficient. Low noise: The use of new energy vehicles can reduce the demand for petroleum, allowing limited petroleum resources to be used for more important purposes. New energy vehicles have simpler structures compared to internal combustion engine vehicles, requiring less maintenance. They have high energy conversion efficiency, help balance peak and off-peak loads on the power grid, and can be charged wherever there is a power supply, making long-distance travel convenient. Thanks to the battery, energy can be easily recovered during braking, downhill driving, and idling.
