What is the real fuel consumption of the Volvo XC90?
1 Answers
The real fuel consumption of the Volvo XC90 is 8.6-14.5L/100km. The combined fuel consumption of this model is 8.5-9.0L/100km. There are currently 5 variants of the Volvo XC90 on sale. The combined fuel consumption for the Executive Luxury 5-seater and Executive Luxury 7-seater is 8.5L/100km. The Momentum Luxury 7-seater and Momentum Sport 7-seater have a combined fuel consumption of 8.8L/100km. The Inscription Luxury 7-seater has a combined fuel consumption of 9.0L/100km. The above figures are NEDC combined fuel consumption, which are measured under the NEDC test cycle. Real-world fuel consumption is higher than these values, ranging from 8.6-14.5L/100km. Here are 5 driving tips to help reduce fuel consumption: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid sudden hard acceleration as it can multiply fuel consumption. Gentle acceleration and braking: Apply gentle pressure on the accelerator to avoid sudden increases in engine RPM and prevent vehicle shuddering, which improves fuel efficiency. Anticipate road conditions for smooth, gradual acceleration or braking, which can improve fuel economy by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep tires inflated to the manufacturer's recommended level. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (approximately 0.2 in metric units relative to standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular maintenance and checks: Timely oil changes can reduce carbon buildup (which can cause ignition issues, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and even cylinder misfires). Regularly inspect and replace air filters, clean or replace fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle bodies as per mileage recommendations. Keep windows closed while driving. Open windows increase wind resistance, which requires more engine power and consequently increases fuel consumption.
