2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the latest Toyota RAV4 varies depending on conditions: 2.0L displacement consumes 8.6L per 100km; 2.5L displacement consumes 12.7L per 100km. Positioning: It is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4600mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1680mm in height, a wheelbase of 2690mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 55L. Configuration: The latest Toyota RAV4 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and an E-type multi-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine producing a maximum horsepower of 178PS, a maximum power of 131kW, and a maximum torque of 221Nm, paired with an electronic continuously variable transmission.
I've driven the latest RAV4 on the highway several times, with an average fuel consumption ranging between 6.5 to 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on the trim level and driving habits. Mine is the 2.0L gasoline version, and at steady highway speeds (around 100 km/h), the consumption is about 7 liters. However, if I speed up to over 120 km/h or carry more load, the consumption can rise to nearly 8 liters. I find this car quite fuel-efficient due to its optimized engine efficiency and reduced aerodynamic drag, allowing the tank to last longer on long trips and saving money on fuel. I recommend avoiding sudden acceleration on the highway, maintaining a steady speed, and using cruise control for more stable fuel consumption. Additionally, newer cars perform better, and proper maintenance can save a lot on fuel costs annually.
