The Great Wall VV5 is equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T engines, with officially announced fuel consumption of 6.7L/km and 7.1L/km respectively. Here are some tips to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Regularly check the braking system: Some vehicles may experience slight brake drag, which increases the vehicle's load during driving and leads to higher fuel consumption, so regular checks are necessary. 3. Regular maintenance and part replacement: Air filters, gasoline filters, and oil filters need to be replaced every 5,000 kilometers or more, as a clogged air filter reduces airflow, leading to incomplete gasoline combustion and decreased fuel efficiency. Wear and tear on clutch plates and clutch pressure plates, as well as prolonged use of spark plugs, can also result in increased fuel consumption, so these should be replaced regularly as well.

I've been driving this WEY VV5 for almost two years now, mainly for urban commuting. The fuel consumption averages between 8 to 9L/100km in the city, and drops to just over 7L/100km when cruising steadily on the highway. I remember when I first bought it, I had a habit of flooring the accelerator, which caused the fuel consumption to soar above 10L. Later, I learned to drive more smoothly—accelerating gently and avoiding sudden braking—which saved me a lot on fuel costs. To be honest, SUVs naturally have higher fuel consumption, and the VV5 is about average in this regard. On average, I spend a little over 300 yuan per month on two fill-ups, which is fairly economical overall. I recommend that owners use the eco mode more often and maintain their tires and engine regularly to keep consumption stable at around 8L. Of course, using the air conditioning or driving in heavy traffic will increase consumption, so it's important to consider your typical driving conditions when choosing a car.

From a technical perspective, the fuel consumption of the WEY VV5 varies significantly due to different factors, with the standard data being around 8.2L/100km under combined conditions. This is primarily influenced by the efficiency of the 2.0T engine. Frequent idling or start-stop operations in urban areas can increase fuel consumption, while optimized aerodynamics on highways can reduce it to approximately 7L. Vehicle weight and drag coefficient also play a role, with fuel consumption rising quickly when modified or overloaded. Having researched similar SUVs, methods to improve fuel efficiency include maintaining proper tire pressure, using high-quality engine oil, and avoiding prolonged high-RPM operation. Compared to other SUVs in its class, the VV5's fuel consumption control is commendable. However, if engine carbon buildup or fuel line blockages occur, prompt attention is required. In practical use, achieving a combined fuel consumption under 8L is feasible.

I use the WEY VV5 for daily commuting, with an average fuel consumption of around 8.5L/100km. In city traffic jams, it might go up to 9L, but on the highway, maintaining a steady speed can bring it down to just over 7L. Compared to my friends who drive CR-Vs or RAV4s, the VV5's fuel efficiency is about the same—not too high, but not particularly fuel-saving either. Paying attention to driving habits helps, like avoiding sudden acceleration and braking, and making good use of the auto start-stop feature to save a bit of money. Overall, among SUVs, its performance is decent and meets household needs.
