What is the fuel consumption of the Terra?
2 Answers
Terra has a total of 6 models on sale, namely the Terra 2020 2.5L XV automatic two-wheel drive Zhixiang version, automatic two-wheel drive luxury version, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 9.2L per 100km. The automatic four-wheel drive luxury version and automatic four-wheel drive flagship version have an NEDC fuel consumption of 9.6L per 100km. The manual two-wheel drive elite version and manual two-wheel drive leading version have an NEDC fuel consumption of 8.9L per 100km, all equipped with a 193 horsepower engine. The level of a car's fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. The specific factors that can increase a car's 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 displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. 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 the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to combust, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
The fuel consumption of the Terra is not particularly low. It generally reaches around 13 liters per 100 kilometers during city driving, while being slightly more fuel-efficient on highways, averaging about 11 liters. I've been driving this car for two or three years, and with frequent traffic congestion during my daily commute, the fuel gauge typically shows around 14 liters. It really depends on road conditions and driving habits. If you often drive in urban areas, fuel consumption might be on the higher side. However, driving more on highways or adopting a gentler driving style can save you a significant amount of money. Additionally, proper vehicle maintenance is crucial—keeping the engine oil and tires in good condition can help squeeze out some extra fuel efficiency. Overall, as an SUV, the Terra's fuel consumption isn't excessively high, but it's not particularly economical either. It's important to weigh this against your specific driving needs.
