What is the fuel consumption of the 2007 Toyota Reiz?
2 Answers
Toyota Reiz 2007 old model engine fuel consumption is definitely on the higher side, around 11L. After all, engine technology wasn't as mature back then as it is now. Factors affecting fuel consumption: 1. Driving conditions: This is very easy to understand. No matter where you are, traffic jams happen. Stop-and-go driving, waiting at traffic lights, and driving in the city will result in higher fuel consumption. On the highway, maintaining a steady engine speed without high revs will be more fuel-efficient. 2. Air conditioning: In the hot summer, turning on the cool AC is a great comfort. But it's also a major culprit for high fuel consumption. Driving with the AC at maximum setting consumes 5-25% more fuel than driving with it off. 3. Passenger/cargo weight: Vehicle weight has a significant impact on fuel consumption. With a full load of passengers or cargo, fuel consumption will inevitably increase. Therefore, try to minimize unnecessary items in the car to reduce weight and save fuel. 4. Tires and tire pressure: Different tires have different rolling resistance. Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, leading to higher rolling resistance. Therefore, maintaining standard tire pressure is more fuel-efficient.
Anyone who has driven the old Reiz knows that the V6 engine is indeed not fuel-efficient. Two of my friends with 2007 Reiz models—the 2.5L one averages around 11-13L/100km in city driving, and it can go up to 15L if stuck in frequent stop-and-go traffic. On highways, it can stay around 8-9L. The 3.0L version is even more extreme, easily hitting 14L or more in urban driving with just moderate acceleration. The car was tuned for sportiness back then, and combined with the higher drivetrain losses of rear-wheel drive, it’s certainly not fuel-efficient by today’s standards. My advice: pay attention to driving habits—avoid flooring the throttle, keep tire pressure adequate, clean carbon deposits regularly, and take good care of this aging car.
