2 Answers
The real urban fuel consumption of the Great Wall VV6 is around 10 liters. Taking the 2021 Great Wall VV6 as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4625mm, width 1860mm, height 1720mm, wheelbase of 2680mm, and a trunk capacity of 512 liters. The 2021 Great Wall VV6 features a front suspension with MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension with double-wishbone independent suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 227 PS, maximum power of 167 kW, and maximum torque of 387 Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving the Great Wall VV6 for nearly two years now, and with the heavy traffic during daily urban commutes, my average fuel consumption fluctuates between 9-11 liters per 100 kilometers. There was one morning rush hour when I got stuck in traffic for an hour, and the fuel consumption soared to 12 liters. However, on smooth roads during weekends, I can keep it around 9 liters. This SUV has a heavy body, and with frequent traffic lights in the city, the engine's constant start-stop cycles really guzzle fuel. I pay attention to my driving habits, like gently pressing the accelerator and avoiding sudden braking, which can save nearly 1 liter. Using air conditioning in summer adds another 0.5-1 liter. Regular maintenance, such as keeping tire pressure at the standard value, can also improve efficiency a bit. I recommend using the economy mode, avoiding driving empty or overloaded. For city driving, choosing less congested routes can help save on fuel costs.
