What is the fuel consumption of the Prado 2.7L in liters?
2 Answers
This vehicle has an actual combined fuel consumption of 13.8L/100km. Below are specific factors affecting fuel consumption: Vehicle Condition: In addition to regular cleaning, it is essential to monitor the vehicle's condition, perform periodic maintenance, and address repairs promptly. Driving Habits: Poor driving habits can waste fuel unnecessarily, such as carrying excessive unnecessary weight, driving at high speeds with windows open, sudden acceleration, and hard braking, all of which increase fuel consumption. Road Conditions: Driving in urban conditions can increase fuel consumption by 20% compared to test track conditions, mainly due to frequent stops and starts, waiting at traffic lights, and shifting gears for acceleration and deceleration, leading to higher fuel usage.
As someone who has driven this car, I have to say the fuel consumption of the Prado 2.7L isn't exactly low. In city driving with frequent stops and starts, it easily reaches 12-14 liters per 100 kilometers, and it gets worse in heavy traffic. During my daily commute with frequent traffic lights, the consumption can hit 13 liters. On the highway, it's much more economical, around 8-10 liters, as the reduced wind resistance makes the car glide more smoothly. Overall, 10-12 liters is quite common, but it really depends on your driving style: aggressive acceleration and braking will consume more fuel, while gentle throttle control can keep it around 11 liters. I make a habit of planning routes to avoid congestion and using navigation to prioritize highways, which saves a lot on fuel. The car weighs over 2 tons, and while the engine displacement is modest, it has strong towing power, making the higher fuel consumption worth it. Maintenance-wise, keeping the tire pressure properly inflated works wonders—I check it monthly and can reduce consumption by about 0.5 liters. In short, don't expect it to be as economical as a smaller car, but with sensible driving, the fuel consumption is acceptable.
