Not long ago, I gave you an inventory of some of the most fuel-efficient fuel cars. However, in the current automotive market, the proportion of SUV models has been equivalent to that of cars, so today we will look at which SUV models are the most fuel-efficient, of which the 1.5T model of Chery Tiggo 8 was successfully selected, which is the pride of its own brand.
Small SUV: GUANGQI Honda Binzhi 1.5L, Dongfeng Honda XR-V 1.5L
Because of the difference in body structure, SUV needs to overcome greater air resistance during driving than sedan, and in order to obtain better passability, SUVs usually use larger and wider tires to obtain sufficient friction. These characteristics make it difficult for SUVs to achieve excellent fuel consumption performance, but for smaller SUVs, this effect is not obvious. Guangqi Honda Binzhi is the most outstanding fuel consumption model in the small SUV, the average fuel consumption of the 1.5L version is only 7.06L per 100 kilometers, and even the 1.5T version does not exceed 8L.
As a twin model of Binzhi, Dongfeng Honda XR-V also has excellent fuel consumption performance, and the two cars occupy the top two of the small SUV sales list all year round. In addition to objective factors in terms of design, both the 1.5L version and the XR-V use Honda's unique i-VTEC technology, which is also the key to improving fuel consumption, and the VTEC technology used in the 1.5T version is also helpful for fuel consumption performance.
Compact SUVs: Buick Oncora GX 1.3T, FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang 2.0L
The Buick Oncola GX is positioned as a compact SUV, but in fact the body size is closer to most small SUVs, and the popularity is relatively average, after all, sales are only a few hundred units per month. The extremely low fuel consumption level is one of its few highlights, with an average fuel consumption of only 7.48L per 100 kilometers, and it is worth noting that it is equipped with a 1.3T three-cylinder engine, which may also be one of the main reasons for its dismal sales.
Faw Toyota RAV4 occupies an important position in the compact SUV market and is one of the few joint venture SUV models in the same class that can compete with the Honda CR-V. RaV4 has been replaced in the past two years, and the competitiveness of products has always remained at a high level, and excellent fuel consumption is one of the important indicators. The average fuel consumption of the 2.0L version of the 2021 model is 7.83L per 100 kilometers, which saves a lot of money compared with many 9L and 10L models in the process of use.
Medium SUV: Buick Encore 1.5T, Chery Tiggo 8 1.5T
Buick Encore is a representative American SUV and is currently the top model of all American SUV sales. Regarding its fuel consumption performance, people have different evaluations, mainly because the fuel consumption performance of urban road sections and highway sections is very different. Even so, the average fuel consumption of 8.53L per 100 kilometers is enough to rank it first in the fuel consumption of medium-sized SUVs. In order to meet the market demand, Oncovi is currently in a state of discontinuation and sale, replaced by Oncovi S and higher positioning Oncovi PLUS. Buick's new model is equipped with a unique variable cylinder technology and the addition of a 48V light mixing system, which has the opportunity to reduce fuel consumption in urban sections.
Chery Automobile has always played the image of "science and engineering man" in its own automobile brand, and Chery's engine technology has been recognized by many users. For example, Tiggo 8 is a best-selling star product at home and abroad, focusing on about 100,000 markets, spacious interior space, stable product quality, and high cost performance. Of course, excellent fuel consumption performance is also an important feature of Tiggo 8, the average 100 km comprehensive fuel consumption of 1.5T models is only 8.58L, combined with the body size of Tiggo 8, it is very rare to have such achievements.
The above SUV, in addition to the three-cylinder Buick Oncora GX are all star products with excellent sales, so it seems that the lower fuel consumption level still has a certain impact on sales. Do you consider fuel consumption levels when buying a car? Which of the above cars was selected the most unexpectedly? Feel free to post your thoughts in the comments.
