What is the fuel consumption of the Prado 4.0?

[VonCayden]

There are 16 models of the 4.0 Prado. The 2004 Prado 4.0L automatic GX, GX Sport DVD edition, GX Luxury edition, TX-L NAVI, and TX-L (5 models) have an NEDC fuel consumption of 12.6L per 100km. The 2006 Prado 4.0L automatic VX NAVI edition, automatic VX, 2010 4.0L automatic VX NAVI, and VX (4 models) have an NEDC fuel consumption of 12.8L per 100km. The 2010 Prado 4.0L automatic TX (1 model) has an NEDC fuel consumption of 12.2L per 100km. The 2014 Prado 4.0L automatic VX NAVI, automatic VX, automatic TX-L NAVI, automatic TX-L, and automatic TX (5 models) have an NEDC fuel consumption of 13.37L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity is the same for different models of the 4.0 Prado. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For the 2004 Prado 4.0L automatic GX, GX Sport DVD edition, GX Luxury edition, TX-L NAVI, and TX-L (5 models), the fuel tank capacity is 87L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 87/12.6*100=690km. For the 2006 Prado 4.0L automatic VX NAVI edition, automatic VX, 2010 4.0L automatic VX NAVI, and VX (4 models), the fuel tank capacity is 87L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 87/12.8*100=680km. For the 2010 Prado 4.0L automatic TX, the fuel tank capacity is 87L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 87/12.2*100=713km. For the 2014 Prado 4.0L automatic VX NAVI, automatic VX, automatic TX-L NAVI, automatic TX-L, and automatic TX (5 models), the fuel tank capacity is 87L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 87/13.37*100=651km. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before red lights, can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements typically produce more power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, and mountainous roads increase resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to combust, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer controls higher RPMs to warm up the engine, which also increases fuel consumption.
