What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Jeep Compass 1.4T model?
1 Answers
The Jeep Compass is a product of the American Chrysler Corporation and falls under the Jeep brand. The Compass 1.4T model consumes approximately 9.4 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers on average. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 121 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5,500 rpm and the maximum torque at 2,500 rpm. This engine utilizes multi-point injection technology and features an aluminum cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block. Factors contributing to high fuel consumption: Clogged air filter: Restricts air intake, leading to an overly rich fuel mixture or a blocked exhaust pipe. Incorrect idle adjustment. Engine coolant temperature too high or too low: High coolant temperature can cause boiling, reducing power and increasing fuel consumption; low coolant temperature results in poor fuel atomization, reducing engine power and increasing fuel consumption. Inaccurate ignition timing: Delayed ignition or low cylinder pressure (below specified values) can increase fuel consumption by 20% to 25%. Incorrect valve timing or a stuck-open exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve. Excessive lubrication oil or engine oil: Internal damage or severe wear in fuel injectors. Severe engine wear. Methods to reduce high fuel consumption: Avoid excessively high or low speeds; modulate throttle opening appropriately. Use cruise control on smooth and uncomplicated road sections. Avoid sudden acceleration while driving. Minimize unnecessary braking. Use the air conditioning system efficiently.
