What is the fuel consumption of the Livina?
2 Answers
Here is the fuel consumption information for the Livina: 1. 1.6L, 4-speed automatic Livina: fuel consumption range 7.46~9.88L/100km, average fuel consumption 8.67L/100km. 2. 1.6L, 5-speed manual Livina: fuel consumption range 6.30~8.20L/100km, average fuel consumption 7.25L/100km. 3. 1.6L, CVT Livina: fuel consumption range 6.73~8.90L/100km, average fuel consumption 7.81L/100km. Additional information: Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Check the air conditioning system in summer: Air conditioning malfunctions are a significant cause of high fuel consumption. Poor cooling performance will require higher fan speeds and lower temperatures to achieve a cooling effect. 2. Frequent hard braking: Frequent hard braking is a major reason for persistently high fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. 3. Avoid excessive air conditioning in small-displacement vehicles: For vehicles exposed to the sun, do not turn on the air conditioning immediately upon entering. First, open the windows and set the fan to a higher speed without turning on the air conditioning to expel the hot air inside. Wait until the vehicle has cooled down moderately before turning on the air conditioning.
I've been driving my Livina for several years, and here's my real fuel consumption experience. For daily commuting mainly in the city, the fuel consumption generally stays between 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers, rising slightly to around 8.5 liters in heavy traffic. On highways, it's much more fuel-efficient, dropping to about 6.5 liters, and can be even lower with steady driving. Personal driving habits make a big difference—for instance, sudden braking tends to increase fuel usage. Vehicle maintenance is also crucial. I regularly change the engine oil and clean the fuel system, and when the car is in good condition, the fuel consumption is noticeably more stable. Using the air conditioning in summer does add a bit to the fuel consumption, but overall, it's quite economical. After all these years, I haven't encountered any major issues. I think the Livina's design is really well-suited for family daily use like ours.
