2 Answers
In congested urban areas, the Prado 2700 averages around 14 liters per 100 kilometers. In suburban or highway conditions, it typically consumes about 10 liters, with a combined average of approximately 13 liters. Below are some key specifications of the Prado 2700: 1. Body dimensions: Length 4820mm, width 1885mm, height 1845mm, wheelbase 2790mm. 2. Exterior design: The new Prado's updates are mainly focused on the front and rear. The redesigned headlights are sharper than the current model, and the vertical bars of the chrome grille are thicker, resembling the Australian version. The new front bumper is more prominent, positioned lower, and features round fog lights.
I drove the Prado 2700 for several years, and its average fuel consumption generally stayed between 12 to 14 liters per 100 kilometers. In congested city driving, it could rise above 15 liters, while highway cruising could bring it down to around 10 liters. The high fuel consumption is mainly due to the 2.7L engine, which provides ample power but is less efficient than smaller-displacement engines, combined with the vehicle's heavy weight and high aerodynamic drag. I always paid attention to my driving habits, such as avoiding sudden acceleration, braking smoothly, and using the air conditioning wisely, which helped save a lot of fuel. Regular maintenance is also crucial—dirty air filters or aged engine oil can increase fuel consumption. The Prado 2700's strengths lie in its excellent off-road capability and spacious interior, but fuel costs should be calculated in advance. If you frequently drive long distances on highways, the fuel consumption is relatively economical; however, for frequent city driving, monthly fuel expenses might exceed 1,500 yuan, so I recommend test-driving extensively before purchase to gauge actual consumption.
