What is the fuel consumption of the XRV 1.5T?
2 Answers
Under congested urban driving conditions, the Honda XRV consumes approximately 10 liters per 100 kilometers, while on highways, it consumes around 6 liters. Below are detailed explanations regarding vehicle fuel consumption: 1. Constant-speed fuel consumption: This refers to the fuel economy indicator when a vehicle is driven at a constant speed on good road surfaces. Since constant-speed driving is a fundamental operating condition for vehicles on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. China also uses this indicator. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers stated in the manuals of domestic vehicles generally refers to constant-speed fuel consumption. 2. Road cycle fuel consumption: This is the fuel economy indicator measured when a vehicle is driven in repeated cycles according to specified speed and time regulations on roads, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption. The speed and time regulations specify various driving conditions included in each cycle, as well as the shifting times, braking and stopping times, driving speeds, accelerations, and braking decelerations for each cycle. Therefore, the fuel economy measured by this method is closer to the actual driving conditions of the vehicle.
I've been driving a Honda XR-V 1.5T for almost two years, mainly commuting in the city with an average fuel consumption around 9L/100km, significantly higher than the official rating of 7.8L. Frequent traffic lights and stop-and-go traffic can push it up to 10L, and using air conditioning in summer makes it even thirstier. Highway driving is the most fuel-efficient—last week on a long trip, it dropped below 6.5L, with cruise control at 100km/h proving very effective. Vehicle weight also plays a role; a full load of family and luggage adds about 0.5L. Adopting habits like gentle acceleration and anticipating braking helps save fuel, such as keeping city driving around 8.5L. Cold starts in winter slightly increase consumption, starting at around 9L. I track monthly changes with the fuel gauge and recommend regular maintenance like checking tire pressure and air filters—these small actions save fuel without breaking the bank. Overall, don’t expect too much efficiency in urban commuting, but it remains a practical and economical choice.
