The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Highlander is 5.3-8.9L/100km. Currently, there are 9 models of the Highlander on sale. The 2.0T 4WD Premium Edition, 2.0T 4WD Luxury Edition, and 2.0T 4WD Elite Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 8.9L/100km. The 2.5L 4WD Supreme Edition, 2.5L 4WD Elite Edition, and 2.5L 4WD Premium Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.8L/100km. The 2.5L 2WD Elite Edition, 2.5L 2WD Elite Edition, and 2.5L 2WD Premium Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.3L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than these values, ranging from 6.0-11.5L/100km. Specific factors affecting car fuel consumption are as follows: Car weight: Larger and heavier cars tend to consume more fuel. Generally, a small family car with a 1.6L engine and a weight of about 1.2 tons has a fuel consumption of approximately 7.5 liters (calculated under full load conditions), while an SUV model weighing about 1.5 tons has a fuel consumption of about 8.5 liters. Different weights result in different fuel consumption levels. Wind resistance: Higher wind resistance increases fuel consumption during driving. Cars with better aerodynamics have lower wind resistance, leading to lower fuel consumption. Economical RPM: The engine has an optimal torque output point during driving. Maintaining the car's speed within this torque output point can significantly reduce fuel consumption. Generally, small-displacement cars reach this point at about 70 km/h, while larger-displacement cars reach it at about 100 km/h. Keeping the speed within this economical RPM range ensures minimal fuel consumption. Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before reaching a red light can increase fuel consumption.

The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of the Highlander varies depending on the model and driving conditions. I've driven the new hybrid version, which averages about 7 to 8 liters in urban areas and can drop to around 6 liters on highways. For the gasoline-powered V6 engine version, frequent starts in city driving may increase consumption to 12 liters. Driving habits are crucial; sudden acceleration or braking can increase fuel consumption by more than 10%, and insufficient tire pressure or maximum air conditioning usage can also slightly raise it. Official data generally shows a combined average of 8 to 10 liters, but actual usage is significantly influenced by road conditions and weather. Opting for the hybrid version is more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly when choosing a vehicle. Regular maintenance, such as ensuring clean air filters, helps maintain stable fuel consumption. Before purchasing, it's advisable to test drive or check forum feedback for real-world measurements, with a combined average of around 9 liters being quite common.

I've been using the Highlander as my daily driver for several years, and my average fuel consumption fluctuates around 9 liters per 100 kilometers. During daily commutes with heavy traffic, it can go up to 11 liters; on weekends when driving to the suburbs on highways, it easily drops to 7 liters. The car carries passengers or luggage with little variation, driving smoothly without much hassle. Compared to other similar SUVs, this vehicle's fuel consumption is decently controlled, with feedback from friends also averaging around 8 to 10 liters. A full 70-liter tank can cover over 700 kilometers, making fuel costs not too high. Pay attention to starting slowly, keeping windows closed to reduce drag, which can really save some expenses. Remember to check the car's condition monthly, and maintaining proper tire pressure is crucial.

As a midsize SUV, the Highlander has an average fuel consumption of 9 liters per 100 kilometers, which has a slightly larger environmental impact. Opting for the hybrid version can reduce this to under 7 liters, cutting carbon emissions by 20%. City driving, with frequent stops and starts at traffic lights, increases fuel consumption by 10%, so carpooling or using public transport is recommended. Overall, energy efficiency has improved significantly with advancements like more efficient hybrid systems. Drivers can save fuel by adopting smooth driving habits, such as gentle acceleration and deceleration. Paying attention to energy efficiency isn't just about the numbers; it's also a small contribution to greener daily commuting.

Fuel consumption directly impacts expenses. The Highlander's claimed combined fuel consumption is 10 liters per 100 kilometers. At 7 yuan per liter, that's 70 yuan per 100 kilometers; driving 15,000 kilometers annually would cost over 10,000 yuan in fuel. The hybrid version drops to 6 liters, saving more than 3,000 yuan each year. When buying a car, don't just focus on the price—consider long-term savings. Maintaining a steady speed on highways can reduce fuel consumption by 8%, and avoiding idling minimizes waste. Actual tests show most vehicles consume between 8 to 11 liters; adjust based on road conditions. Develop a habit of recording fuel usage and mileage monthly to track actual costs.
