Is it normal for a Vios to run 357 kilometers on a full tank of gas?
2 Answers
It is not normal because the Vios has a fuel tank capacity of 42L. Based on its actual fuel consumption of 7 liters per 100 kilometers, it should at least achieve a driving range of 500-600 kilometers. Exterior Design: The exterior is simple, stylish, and highly fashionable. Through optimization of length, height, and wheelbase, the body size is enlarged, giving it an appearance that surpasses other models in its class. It has a more fashionable feel and effectively enhances the comfort of the interior space. Powertrain: Equipped with a 1.6L Dual VVT-i engine, it achieves a perfect balance of powerful performance, excellent fuel economy, and low emissions, delivering high-level driving performance within its class. Features: Additional interior and exterior features include a driver's side roof handle, chrome-plated handbrake button, body-colored side moldings, and side mirrors with turn signals, making both the exterior and interior more refined.
As someone who pays attention to car performance, I think whether a Vios can run 357 km on a full tank depends on your driving habits and road conditions. Toyota officially states that the Vios has an average fuel consumption of 5 to 7 liters per 100 km, with a fuel tank capacity of about 42 liters, theoretically giving a range of 600 to 800 km. In real life, 357 km is quite low, possibly because you drive more in congested urban areas; frequent stops and starts at traffic lights can drastically increase fuel consumption. Rapid acceleration, hard braking, using air conditioning, and carrying heavy loads also consume more fuel. As the car ages, engine wear or insufficient tire pressure can reduce the range. I've driven similar cars, and 350 to 400 km in the city is common, while on the highway, it can approach 600 km. I suggest you track your actual fuel consumption over a period of time; smooth driving, maintaining proper tire pressure, and reducing sudden braking can help improve it slightly. If the range remains this low even on pure highway driving, it's time for a check-up and maintenance—don’t overlook potential safety hazards.
