Why does the Toyota C-HR always have high fuel consumption?
2 Answers
Toyota C-HR's high fuel consumption may be influenced by driving habits, driving conditions, road conditions, and other factors. Below are the related introductions about Toyota C-HR's fuel consumption: 1. New car break-in period: New cars tend to consume more fuel during the break-in period because the various components of the new car fit together tightly, preventing the engine from fully utilizing its power, ultimately resulting in higher fuel consumption. If you frequently drive at low speeds in urban areas for a long time, it will definitely lead to high fuel consumption, or even higher fuel consumption, which is related to many factors such as road conditions, driving habits, vehicle maintenance, and vehicle load. 2. Driving conditions: Sudden acceleration, especially when overtaking or starting, stepping hard on the accelerator, causing the car to make a roaring sound, indicates that the accelerator is pressed too hard. At this time, gasoline cannot be fully burned, leading to waste and very high fuel consumption.
I've been driving for many years, and the relatively high fuel consumption of the Toyota C-HR is quite common from a driving habits perspective. For instance, I often drive in the city, where frequent braking and acceleration during traffic jams can easily push the fuel consumption above 9 liters. The car's design itself is an SUV, with a taller body and higher wind resistance, so it naturally consumes more fuel than a sedan. Additionally, if the tire pressure is insufficient, rolling resistance increases, forcing the engine to work harder. I've tested this—after inflating the spare tire to the standard pressure, the fuel consumption improved. Keeping the air conditioning on all the time or loading the cabin with heavy items also indirectly increases fuel consumption. Usually, I try to maintain a steady speed around 60 km/h, avoid sudden braking or acceleration, and combine this with eco mode, which noticeably stabilizes the fuel gauge. Regularly checking and replacing dirty air filters and engine oil also helps save fuel. In fact, planning routes to avoid peak hours can significantly reduce fuel consumption. I've personally saved a lot on fuel costs by sticking to these habits.
