What is the highway fuel consumption of the Honda XR-V?
3 Answers
Under city driving conditions with traffic congestion, the Honda XR-V consumes approximately 10 liters per 100 kilometers, while on highways, it consumes around 6 liters per 100 kilometers. Below are relevant details: 1. Constant-speed fuel consumption: This refers to the fuel economy indicator when a car is driving at a constant speed on good road surfaces. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for cars 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 indicated in the manuals of domestic cars is generally constant-speed fuel consumption. 2. Road cycle fuel consumption: This is the fuel economy indicator measured when a car is driven in repeated cycles according to specified speeds and time norms on roads, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption. The speed and time norms specify various driving conditions included in each cycle, as well as the gear-shifting moments, braking and stopping times, and the values of driving speed, acceleration, and braking deceleration for each cycle. Therefore, the fuel economy measured by this method is closer to the actual driving conditions of the car.
I've been driving the Honda XR-V for several years, mainly for long-distance highway trips. Based on my experience, the highway fuel consumption ranges between 6.5 to 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on how you drive. Maintaining a speed around 100 km/h is the most economical, exceeding 120 km/h will increase fuel consumption to over 7 liters. Carrying family or heavier luggage also increases fuel consumption, usually just over 7 liters. Seasonal effects are noticeable too, using AC in summer may add about 0.5 liters, while winter is better. The 1.5L engine paired with CVT transmission has good fuel efficiency optimization. I make it a habit to service every 5,000 kilometers, changing the engine oil helps maintain low fuel consumption. Overall, the XR-V performs reliably on highways, making long trips worry-free and cost-effective, very suitable for people who enjoy road trips.
Last month I bought a Honda XR-V and immediately took it on the highway to test fuel consumption. Driving steadily at 100 km/h cruise speed, my car showed an average of 6.8 liters per 100 km, which was a super pleasant surprise! Switching to sport mode consumed slightly more fuel, around 7.2 liters. There weren't many people in the car, just me and my girlfriend, with the air conditioning set to medium. When road conditions were good with low wind resistance, fuel consumption was even lower, but it could rise to just over 7 liters when encountering strong winds or slopes. Fuel efficiency might improve after the break-in period. I downloaded a fuel consumption app to record data, saving a few hundred bucks on gas each month. It's recommended to keep tire pressure around 2.4 and avoid frequent braking and acceleration. This car is exquisitely designed, quiet on highways, and fuel-efficient—definitely a great deal for young drivers.
