What is the fuel consumption of the Prado 2700?
2 Answers
In congested urban areas, the Prado 2700 has an average fuel consumption of around 14 liters per 100 kilometers, while in suburban or highway conditions, it is typically around 10 liters. Overall, the combined fuel consumption is approximately 13 liters. Below is some related information about fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption, abbreviated as fuel usage, refers to the amount of fuel (in liters) consumed by a vehicle over a certain distance. The unit of fuel consumption is L/100km, which represents the liters of fuel consumed per 100 kilometers. A lower number indicates better fuel economy. 2. Fuel consumption is commonly measured through road tests. The constant-speed 100-kilometer fuel consumption test is one of the simplest road tests. According to JB3352—83, the test conditions for constant-speed fuel consumption are as follows: flat, dry, and clean cement or asphalt roads with a longitudinal slope of less than 0.1% (at least less than 0.3%) and a straight road section longer than 1500 meters. The climatic conditions should be: temperature between 0°C and 35°C, wind speed less than 3 m/s, and relative humidity between 50% and 90%.
I've been driving the Prado 2700 for many years. Its fuel consumption in the city isn't low, typically around 14 liters per 100 km is normal, especially during traffic jams when it can easily rise above 15 liters. On the highway, it's a bit better, around 11 to 12 liters, and using cruise control can save some fuel. Personally, I feel driving habits have a big impact, such as avoiding sudden acceleration and hard braking, as well as regular maintenance like changing the air filter and keeping tire pressure appropriate, which can help reduce fuel consumption by a few tenths of a liter. Overall, as a rugged SUV, it's heavy and has high wind resistance, so fuel consumption is on the higher side, but its reliability and off-road capability are its strengths, making it suitable for long-distance travel enthusiasts. If you frequently drive on dirt roads, fuel consumption will be even higher, so be prepared.
