What is the fuel consumption of the NV200?
2 Answers
The NV200 has 2 models, including the 2018 1.6L CVT Premium and Luxury models, both equipped with a 124 horsepower engine. The NEDC fuel consumption is 6.9L per 100km, which is the official data. The fuel tank capacity of the NV200 is 55L, and the distance it can travel on a full tank is 55/6.9*100=797km. The CVT transmission helps to minimize the fuel consumption of this vehicle. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements typically produce more 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. Headwinds: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low ambient temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to burn, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption. Engine carbon deposits: Over time, gasoline combustion inevitably produces carbon deposits and sludge. If not cleaned in time, these can lead to increased fuel consumption. Spark plug failure: Spark plugs use high voltage to generate sparks that ignite the air-fuel mixture. If damaged, the ignition energy decreases, causing uneven combustion and slower acceleration, leading to higher fuel consumption. Abnormal tire pressure: Incorrect tire pressure can also affect fuel consumption. Low tire pressure or severely worn tread increases the contact area and friction with the road, increasing rolling resistance and fuel consumption. Carrying heavy loads: Overloading increases the vehicle's weight and driving pressure, leading to higher fuel consumption. Faulty car sensors: This is also a major cause of increased fuel consumption. For example, a faulty coolant temperature sensor can make the engine think the car is cold, causing it to continuously send signals to inject more fuel, increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Nissan NV200 for several years, mainly for deliveries, and have a lot of experience with its fuel consumption. In city driving, the average is about 11 liters per 100 kilometers, and it can reach 12 liters in traffic jams. On the highway, it's more fuel-efficient, dropping to around 8 liters. Overall, 10 liters per 100 kilometers is a normal value. If you want to save money, I have some tips: keep the tire pressure within the standard range, avoid sudden acceleration and braking; driving at a constant speed can significantly reduce fuel consumption; regular maintenance is key—changing the oil and air filter every 5,000 kilometers will keep the engine more efficient. Also, avoid overloading or running the air conditioning for too long, as these add extra burden. Overall, the NV200's fuel consumption as a commercial vehicle is reasonable and meets practical needs, being more economical than similar vehicles.
