Why is the Venucia T90's fuel consumption so high?
2 Answers
Venucia T90's fuel consumption is around 7.6-8.1L. The reasons for the high fuel consumption are as follows: 1. Large vehicle size: The overall dimensions are 3775*1665*1530mm, with a wheelbase of 2450mm. The advantages of the platform and size directly result in a more generous and stretched exterior, as well as more spacious driving, riding and storage space. 2. High energy efficiency: In terms of energy efficiency, the Venucia R30 is equipped with a 1.2L engine. Compared with peers that widely adopt 1.0L engines, the Venucia R30 has more abundant power. It is equipped with Nissan's HR12DE engine, which has the advantages of strong power, low fuel consumption, and reliable quality. The rated power reaches 54kW/5000rpm, and the maximum torque reaches 104Nm/4000rpm.
I've been driving the Venucia T90 for a while now, and the fuel consumption is indeed on the high side. For daily commutes in the city, it easily exceeds 10 liters per 100 kilometers, and even on highways, it sometimes goes over 9 liters. This might be because the T90 is an SUV model—it's relatively heavy and has high wind resistance, making it less fuel-efficient compared to lighter compact cars. A few times when I was stuck in long traffic jams with the AC on, the fuel consumption shot up, especially in hot weather when the engine load increases. Also, my tire pressure was low—I forgot to check it regularly—and the increased rolling resistance added significantly to the fuel cost. I recommend developing habits like monitoring tire pressure more often and changing the oil filter on time, which can help slightly reduce fuel consumption. For long-distance driving, maintaining an economical speed and avoiding aggressive acceleration might save some fuel. Overall, as an average car owner, I feel this is just the nature of SUVs—you have to be mentally prepared for it when buying one.
