What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Jeep Compass 1.4T model?
2 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.
I've been driving a Jeep Compass 1.4T for two to three years now. The overall fuel consumption of this car is around 8 liters per 100 kilometers, which refers to daily mixed driving conditions. If I drive more on the highway with a steady speed of around 90 kilometers per hour, the fuel consumption can drop to just over 7 liters. However, when stuck in city traffic with frequent red lights, it can rise to 9 liters or even higher. There are many factors affecting fuel consumption. For example, I have good driving habits—less sudden acceleration and braking, checking tire pressure every two weeks to keep it at the recommended value, plus regular oil changes and air filter replacements, so the overall fuel consumption remains quite stable. Seasons also have an impact. In summer, using air conditioning increases fuel consumption by about 5%, and in winter, the cold start and warm-up phase also consume a bit more. The 1.4T engine of this car is well-designed, with the turbocharger helping to save fuel while providing ample power. It's very practical as a family car, with monthly fuel costs controlled at around 900 yuan, making it comfortable and cost-effective to drive.
