The most fuel-consuming SUV models in Vietnam.

SUVs are often poorly rated for fuel efficiency. Even when popular in many markets, particularly the US, SUVs frequently face criticism from environmental groups due to their high fuel consumption and significant carbon emissions. Over the years, automakers have begun to pay more attention to environmental issues and are exploring ways to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions in SUV models.

As a result, modern SUVs offer better fuel efficiency than ever before, along with the use of lighter materials and more advanced engines to minimize environmental impact. However, many SUV models still have high fuel consumption rates.

Hummer H2 - 860,517 VND/100 km

The Hummer H2 was built by AM General between 2002 and 2009. It's a large SUV, only smaller than the Hummer H1 but larger than most other 7-seater vehicles currently on the market. In Vietnam, this model appeared around 2009, but is now less common. Some bulletproof versions of the Hummer H2 are also found in the government's fleet.

The H2 was built under contract for General Motors at a specialized factory located in Mishawaka, Indiana, USA. The total weight of the vehicle is 3.9 tons. It was equipped with various engine options, all of which were fuel-inefficient. The 2002-2004 and 2005-2007 generations used a 6.0L V8 engine, while the 2008-2009 generation used a 6.2L V8 engine.

The combined fuel consumption is 26.1L/100 km, equivalent to 860,517 VND/100 km at current gasoline prices. This figure is comparable to the Bugatti Veyron hypercar, which has a combined fuel consumption of approximately 24.9L/100 km, equivalent to 820,953 VND/100 km at current gasoline prices.
