What is the fuel consumption of the Y61?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Y61 is around 16-17L. Here is some relevant information about the Y61: 1. Interior: The high-end version features leather seats with electric adjustment for both the driver and passenger seats, while the low-end version only has fabric seats without electric adjustment. The high-end version comes with a 7-inch central touchscreen with navigation and rearview camera functions, whereas the low-end version lacks a color central screen. The high-end version also includes a liquid crystal compass function with an additional temperature display. 2. Fuel consumption: The 4.8-liter inline six-cylinder engine delivers a maximum power of 284 horsepower and a maximum torque of 451 N·m, paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission. This engine adopts an inline six-cylinder layout, providing high torque, making it more suitable for off-road use, and is simple and inexpensive to maintain. However, the biggest drawback of this engine is its high fuel consumption. Although the Patrol Y61 is equipped with a 140-liter dual fuel tank, its range is far inferior to the Land Cruiser LC76 due to its high fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Y61 for several years, and the fuel consumption is really high, especially in city traffic where it can reach 20 liters per 100 kilometers; on the highway, steady driving is around 13 liters, averaging about 16 liters. This vehicle has a sturdy chassis and strong off-road performance, but the refueling frequency is ridiculously high—it makes my heart ache every time I fill up. To save some fuel, I've tried avoiding sudden acceleration and braking, keeping tire pressure at the standard value, and regularly changing the oil filter, which helped reduce it to 14-15 liters. Road conditions have a big impact—fuel consumption spikes on mountain roads or when carrying heavy loads. For daily commutes in congested areas, the tank empties quickly. If you often drive long distances, it's best to plan routes to avoid traffic, which can improve fuel efficiency a bit.
