What is the fuel consumption of the Terra?

[StLuna]

The Terra adopts a body-on-frame structure, resulting in a relatively large vehicle weight. Additionally, the Terra is equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine across all variants. The manual transmission version has a fuel consumption of around 10L/100km, while the automatic transmission version consumes approximately 13L/100km. Here is a related introduction to the Terra: 1. Exterior: The new Terra features a rugged overall design with the latest V-Motion design language. It sports a large U-shaped chrome grille paired with a honeycomb blackened intake grille. The headlights adopt a polygonal design. 2. Interior: The new Terra's interior follows a symmetrical layout, equipped with a large central control screen and features like one-button start. The instrument cluster uses traditional mechanical pointers. 3. Powertrain: The domestically produced TERRA Terra is powered by a QR25 2.5L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power output of 135kW. For transmission, it is paired with either a 6-speed manual or a Jatco 7-speed automatic transmission. The Terra will also feature a part-time four-wheel-drive system.

Driving the Terra for over two years, the fuel consumption is indeed a bit overwhelming. My top-tier 4WD model averages around 12.5 L/100km for daily city commutes, and can go up to 14 during rush hour traffic jams. It's most fuel-efficient on highways—cruising at 100 km/h shows around 8.9 L/100km on the display, but using the AC in summer adds about 0.5. Last month, I took my family on a long-distance trip covering 1,600 km with a combined fuel consumption of 10.2 L/100km. I’ve specifically noticed fueling habits—using 95-octane saves about 3 cents per kilometer compared to 92-octane. After upgrading to AT tires, fuel consumption increased by 0.8 L/100km. That’s just how rugged off-road vehicles are, right? The car weighs over 2 tons, so if you enjoy driving it, don’t stress too much about these details.

Terra owners share real fuel consumption figures. In city driving, it typically fluctuates between 11-13 liters per 100km, and adds 1 more liter if you have a heavy foot. Surprisingly good performance on highways - once showed 8.7L/100km on national roads. Recommend installing car software to monitor fuel usage; ECO mode saved me about 6%. Always refuel at reputable major stations - while cheaper, small stations' fuel burns noticeably faster. Avoid carrying unnecessary items - clearing my trunk directly reduced consumption by 0.3L. With its 83L fuel tank, highway range easily reaches 800km.

I've been driving the Terra for half a year now, here are my actual fuel consumption figures: 13L in congested city traffic, 10.5L in smooth city driving; around 9.5L on highways; with a combined average of 11.3L. The most fuel-efficient speed is around 80 km/h, consumption increases noticeably beyond 120 km/h. For a monthly mileage of 2000 km, fuel costs are approximately 1600. Off-road driving with 4WD consumes over 18L. Maintaining tire pressure at 2.6 instead of 2.3 saves fuel, and consumption is also lower when unloaded. Regular replacement of air filters and engine oil is quite effective – after one maintenance session, my fuel consumption dropped by 0.7L.

Let me break down the fuel consumption of the Terra into three parts. Daily commute: around 14 during rush hours on Beijing's Third Ring Road, dropping to 11 when driving smoothly at night. Long-distance highway driving: 9.5-10.5 with air conditioning on. Off-road conditions: last week's desert trip recorded 18. The car owner group discussed that stock vehicles generally stay within the 10-12 range. It's suggested that fuel consumption stabilizes only after the first 3,000 km. Fueling habits matter – avoid filling up completely every time as it increases weight and fuel consumption. Adding small wind deflectors to the side mirrors can save some fuel costs.

Actual fuel consumption of the Terra is about 1L higher than the official data. Winter fuel consumption is notably higher, especially during cold starts, while summer AC usage has minimal impact. After upgrading to larger, heavier wheels, fuel consumption increased by 0.7L directly. A fueling tip: filling up to automatic pump shutoff plus an extra 10 liters extends range by 60km. The most fuel-intensive behaviors are frequent lane changes and hard braking – after developing anticipatory driving habits, my consumption dropped from 13L to 11L. Using 0W-20 engine oil saves half a liter compared to 5W-30. With a relatively high drag coefficient of 0.38, opening windows is less economical than using AC.
