What is the fuel consumption of the Nissan Terra?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Nissan Terra is approximately 8.9-9.6L/100km. Below are two explanations regarding vehicle fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption includes constant-speed fuel consumption and road cycle fuel consumption. Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator when the vehicle is driving at a constant speed on good road conditions; road cycle fuel consumption is the fuel economy indicator measured when the vehicle is driving in repeated cycles according to specified speeds and time regulations on the road. 2. Fuel consumption is generally measured through road tests, and the constant-speed 100km fuel consumption test is one of the simplest road tests. China's JB3352-83 stipulates the road conditions for vehicle constant-speed fuel consumption tests as: flat, dry, and clean cement or asphalt pavement, with a longitudinal slope <0.1% and a straight section length >1500m.
I recently had the chance to take my friend's Terra on a long-distance trip and really got to know its capabilities. Equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission, it delivered a fuel consumption of just over 9L per 100km during highway cruising. However, in city traffic, it tends to be a bit more indulgent, with the gauge often jumping to 14L. This hefty two-ton beast, with its boxy design that creates significant wind resistance, can rival the fuel consumption of a Land Cruiser Prado 2.7L during peak hours in pure city driving, especially when shuttling kids. Surprisingly, it's quite fuel-efficient when off-roading. Its body-on-frame construction provides exceptional stability on rough terrain. Last week, leading a convoy through the desert with high-range four-wheel drive engaged, the combined fuel consumption was only around 11L, proving to be much more durable than some turbocharged off-road vehicles.
