What is the normal fuel consumption for an SUV?
1 Answers
Different SUVs have varying fuel consumption due to differences in their engines, transmission tuning, and vehicle weight, making it difficult to specify an exact figure. Generally speaking, for most family-oriented SUVs with engine displacements typically ranging from 1.6 to 2.0 liters and equipped with automatic transmissions, the actual fuel consumption is around 10 liters per 100 kilometers. On long highway trips, fuel consumption may drop to 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers, while urban commuting with traffic congestion often exceeds 10 liters per 100 kilometers. This represents a fairly common range of fuel consumption. Factors affecting fuel consumption: While engine displacement has some correlation with fuel consumption, larger displacement does not always mean higher fuel usage. Relatively speaking, the size of a car's engine displacement does not directly proportionally relate to its fuel consumption. Besides displacement, factors such as the vehicle's aerodynamics, weight, and engine technology also significantly influence fuel efficiency. Among vehicles with the same displacement, those with more advanced engine technology tend to be more fuel-efficient.
