What is the fuel consumption of the Outlander?
2 Answers
The average fuel consumption of the Mitsubishi Outlander is 9.47L/100km. Here are some tips to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Change fluids on time: Many car owners neglect the replacement of engine oil and transmission fluid during vehicle use. Failure to change these fluids can lead to more noticeable car shaking, slower gear shifting, and obvious jerking symptoms. 2. Pay attention to carbon buildup: Carbon buildup can cause uneven ignition, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, even lead to cylinder misfire. Remember to clean carbon deposits regularly. Importantly, do not keep the engine speed consistently low just to save fuel—don’t hesitate to step on the accelerator when needed.
I’ve been driving this Outlander for almost three years. The 2.4L 4WD version consumes around 11 liters per 100 km in city traffic during rush hours with the AC on, but it’s much more fuel-efficient on highways—cruise control can bring it down to 7.5 liters. I just had a maintenance service a few days ago and replaced the air filter, and the old one was severely clogged—no wonder the fuel consumption suddenly increased by over 1 liter recently. My daily routine includes school runs for the kids and weekend road trips, averaging 9.5 liters per 100 km, and I refuel about three times a month. If you mostly drive in suburban areas with good road conditions, the 2.0L 2WD version can save you another liter. However, many people don’t realize that using the heater in winter actually consumes more fuel than running the AC in summer.
