What is the fuel consumption of the Pajero 3.0?
2 Answers
The Pajero 3.0 has 8 models, including the 2020 Collector's Edition - 3.0L - Automatic Comfort Off-Road Version, Automatic Premium Off-Road Version, 3.0L - Automatic Premium Version, Automatic Premium Off-Road Version, Automatic Luxury Version, Automatic Comfort Version, Automatic Luxury Off-Road Version, and Automatic Standard Version. All these models are equipped with a 174-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 12.4L per 100 km. The fuel tank capacity of different Pajero 3.0 models is the same. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 174-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 12.4L per 100 km, the fuel tank capacity is 88L. The distance that can be covered with a full tank is 88/12.4*100=710 km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before 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 usually mean higher 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. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've driven the Pajero 3.0 as my daily city commuter, with fuel consumption averaging around 13-15 liters per 100 km. It climbs slightly higher when using air conditioning in summer. On long highway trips, it can drop to about 11 liters. Fuel efficiency largely depends on driving habits - aggressive acceleration or frequent traffic jacks can easily push consumption above 16 liters. I recommend maintaining steady speeds and minimizing cargo load to save fuel costs. Regular tire pressure checks and air filter maintenance help prevent deteriorating vehicle conditions that spike fuel consumption. After all, large-displacement SUVs are inherently thirsty - there's really no way around that fundamental characteristic.
