What is the real fuel consumption of the Nissan Patrol 4.0?
2 Answers
4.0 Patrol real fuel consumption is generally around 22 liters per 100 kilometers, with careful driving at least 20L, and on highways around 15L. Maintenance costs: For a car in this price range, the overall maintenance costs are not high. Patrol advantages: It is not comfortable to drive in the city, nor is it advantageous on highways, as it is positioned as a hardcore off-road vehicle. Its strength lies in its ability to handle tough situations, such as traversing mountains and rough terrains, where it truly shines. Therefore, if you mainly drive in the city and are concerned about fuel consumption, the Patrol is not the best choice, as it clearly cannot compete with sedans in the same price range. However, if you enjoy off-roading, the Patrol is definitely worth considering compared to other models in the same price range.
Regarding the fuel consumption issue of the Patrol 4.0, I must say that as someone who frequently drives in the city, I've tested it several times. During peak traffic hours in urban areas, it consumes about 15 to 18 liters per 100 kilometers, while on highways at a steady speed, it can drop to 10 to 12 liters. For example, one time I made a 30-kilometer round trip from home to the office during heavy traffic, and it used nearly 20 liters of fuel. If the vehicle is carrying more weight or the air conditioning is on, the fuel consumption will increase slightly. I recommend keeping track of the mileage and fuel amount each time you refuel—a simple calculation can give you a more accurate picture. Usually, avoiding sudden acceleration and using cruise control more often can save a significant amount on fuel costs and also extend the engine's lifespan. Regularly checking tire pressure is also quite important, as underinflated tires can increase fuel consumption by about 10%.
