What is the real fuel consumption of the Outlander 2.0?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the 2.0L model is 8.5 liters per 100 kilometers. The Outlander is a compact SUV under Mitsubishi, with dimensions of 4705 mm in length, 1810 mm in width, and 1710 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2670 mm. The Outlander is equipped with two engines: a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a 2.4L naturally aspirated engine. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Correctly adjust tire inflation pressure: Maintaining proper tire pressure can reduce rolling resistance and lower fuel consumption. Additionally, slightly increasing tire pressure by +0.2bar above the recommended value can also save fuel. 2. Moderate use of in-car auxiliary electrical devices: Using certain electrical devices, such as the air conditioning system's cooling function, can significantly increase fuel consumption. For example, turn off the seat heater once the desired warmth is achieved. Also, turn off the rear window defroster when there is no fog or ice on the window.
I've been driving my Outlander 2.0 for almost two years now, experiencing everything from daily commutes to weekend road trips. In city traffic, the fuel consumption can go up to 11 liters per 100 kilometers, especially noticeable during summer when the AC is on and traffic is heavy. On the highway, it's much more fuel-efficient, maintaining around 7.5 liters at a steady 100 km/h cruise speed. My long-term average fuel consumption is about 9.2 liters, and the onboard computer's readings match pretty closely with the actual fuel refill amounts. Driving habits make a huge difference—I once managed to stretch a full tank 50 kilometers farther just by carefully controlling the throttle and anticipating road conditions to brake less. Vehicle load also affects it; when fully packed for family trips, fuel consumption increases by about 0.8 liters. Regular maintenance is crucial—after changing the air filter last time, I noticed a slight drop in fuel consumption.
