What is the real fuel consumption of the 2.0T Highlander?

The actual fuel consumption of the 2018 Highlander 2.0T two-wheel drive 5-seater version is approximately 10.95L/100km, while the 2018 Highlander 2.0T two-wheel drive 7-seater version is about 11.09L/100km. Below is some extended information about the Highlander: "Triple Twin" Technology: The Highlander's 2.0T engine features "Triple Twin" technology, which refers to twin-scroll, twin-injection, and twin-cycle. The twin-scroll design allows more uniform airflow into the turbocharger, reducing hesitation. The twin-injection system combines direct injection and port injection, effectively reducing engine carbon buildup and improving fuel economy. The twin-cycle system utilizes both Atkinson and Otto cycles, enabling seamless switching between them for more direct power output and better fuel efficiency.

I've been driving my 2.0T Highlander for almost two years now, and the fuel consumption really depends on driving technique. For daily city commuting with frequent traffic lights, the dashboard usually shows 11-13 L/100km, and it goes up by about 1 L in summer when using AC. On highways it's quite fuel-efficient - maintaining 100 km/h gives around 7 L/100km, while 120 km/h consumes about 8.5 L. The most extreme case is cold starts in underground parking during winter when taking kids to school - fuel consumption can spike to 15 L/100km within the first 3 kilometers until engine temperature normalizes. I recommend installing a fuel tracking app like XiongYong - my actual measured average is 10.8 L/100km, and the 65L tank gives me over 600 km range.

Last week, I accompanied a friend to test his 2023 Highlander, the 2.0T 4WD Platinum Edition. We deliberately filled up the tank and drove 200 kilometers on mixed road conditions: fuel consumption was 13.5 L/100km during peak traffic hours in the city, and only 6.9 L/100km when cruising at 70 km/h on suburban expressways. The combined fuel consumption came out to 10.3 L/100km. Three key factors to note: 1) The start-stop system saves fuel but frequent starts can damage the battery, 2) The 4WD consumes about 0.8 liters more than the 2WD, and 3) Using 95-octane fuel increases the range by 5% compared to 92-octane. The factory-recommended tire pressure is 2.4, but we inflated it to 2.6 and felt the steering was lighter, though there wasn’t much change in fuel consumption.

Does occasional jerking during manual transmission downshifting harm the car?

Manual transmission jerking during gear shifting will definitely harm the car and may affect the engine. Extended knowledge is as follows: Impact: It can harm the car and potentially affect the engine; it easily damages the engine mounts, as well as the internal gears of the transmission, and accelerates clutch wear. Damage to transmission gears: It can cause damage to the transmission gears and affect the car's driving performance.

Why is the reverse gear called R?

Because it is derived from the English word 'Reverse'. Here is an introduction to the gears of an automatic transmission car: Parking gear: The P gear is the parking gear, used when the vehicle is parked for a long time; the R gear is the reverse gear, engaged when the vehicle needs to move backward. Neutral gear: The N gear is the neutral gear, used when the vehicle is parked for a short time without turning off the engine; the D gear is the drive gear, and when the gear lever is in the D position, the vehicle will automatically switch gears based on throttle opening and speed data. Sport mode: The S gear is the sport mode, making the vehicle more sporty to drive; the M gear refers to the manual mode, where gear shifting is done manually by the driver when the gear lever is in the M position; the I gear is the low-speed gear.

Which Axle Drives in an Eight-Wheeler?

An eight-wheeler is rear-axle driven. Below are relevant details: Drive Axle: Positioned at the end of the drivetrain, it alters the speed and torque from the transmission and transfers them to the driving wheels. The drive axle typically consists of the main reducer, differential, wheel transmission device, and drive axle housing. A steering drive axle also includes constant velocity universal joints. Additionally, the drive axle bears vertical, longitudinal, and lateral forces between the road surface and the frame or body, as well as braking torque and reaction forces. Differential: An eight-wheeler generally has a mid-axle lock. When the mid-axle lock engages the mid-axle differential, both the mid and rear axles drive together; otherwise, only the rear axle drives.
