I've driven the 2020 RAV4 2.0L gasoline version, with real-world urban commuting fuel consumption typically around 9 liters, dropping to 7 liters on highways. The hybrid version is more fuel-efficient, averaging about 6 liters. Fuel consumption varies significantly with road conditions—it spikes in city traffic jams, easily exceeding 10 liters with frequent traffic lights. Adopting a gentle driving style, avoiding sudden acceleration and braking, can save a lot of fuel, and using ECO mode also helps. Running the AC in summer increases consumption by 1-2 liters, while prolonged warm-up in winter also consumes more. This car offers spacious interiors suitable for family use, and regular maintenance with synthetic oil can improve efficiency. Overall, it's quite cost-effective, with fuel consumption moderately low compared to other SUVs.
