As oil prices continue to rise, the most important concern for car enthusiasts is the fuel consumption of their vehicles. Car enthusiasts say that SUV models have higher fuel consumption than sedan models, so how much higher is SUV fuel consumption than sedan models? (Sometimes, SUV oil consumption may be lower than Sedan for some models.)
Under normal circumstances, with the same displacement as the sedan model, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of the SUV model is about 2-3 liters higher than that of the sedan model. Because the body of an SUV model is larger than that of a sedan, it is also heavier than the weight of a sedan, and its wind resistance is also greater than that of a sedan, the fuel consumption of an SUV model is higher than that of a sedan model.
But SUV models also have certain advantages. The body of the SUV model is relatively high, the driving line of sight is wider, and the passing ability of the SUV model is better. If encountering uneven road surfaces, the SUV model can also pass smoothly. The chassis of sedan models is relatively low and the passability is not as high as that of SUVs. However, if the chassis is well tuned and has good driving comfort, it is more suitable for long-distance driving and can to some extent reduce driver fatigue.
