What is the fuel consumption of the Swift 1.5 automatic transmission?

Taking the Swift 2016 1.5L Automatic Fashion Cool Play Edition as an example: The fuel consumption of this car is 6.5 liters. Its length, width, and height are 3765 mm, 1690 mm, and 1510 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2390 mm, a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters, and a body structure of a 5-door, 5-seat hatchback. In terms of suspension, this car uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear. For power, it is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 76 kW and a maximum torque of 138 Nm, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission.
The actual fuel consumption of the Swift 1.5 automatic transmission depends on personal driving habits and road conditions. My car is a 2018 model, mainly driven in the city for daily commutes. In heavy traffic, the fuel consumption can rise to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, while it drops to around 8 liters when traffic is smooth. On highways, it's particularly fuel-efficient, maintaining a stable range of 6.5 to 7 liters. Using the air conditioning at high settings can increase consumption by about 0.5 liters, and low tire pressure also consumes more fuel. Regular maintenance, including oil changes, helps stabilize fuel consumption. Overall, the car feels quite economical, with no major issues over two years of driving. However, I recommend that new drivers focus on smooth driving, avoiding sudden braking and acceleration, to save a significant amount on fuel costs.
As someone who has been driving for ten years, I find the fuel consumption of the Swift 1.5 automatic transmission reasonable, with an average of 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers. In city driving with frequent traffic lights or when fully loaded, it may rise to 9 liters, while on the highway, it easily drops below 6 liters. Many factors affect fuel consumption, such as a dirty air filter increasing resistance, an aging battery indirectly causing unstable power supply and reducing engine efficiency, and running the air conditioning at full blast in summer can add an extra liter. Regular maintenance is crucial—I check tire pressure monthly to keep it at the standard value and use high-quality engine oil, which reduced my fuel consumption by 0.8 liters. Beginners shouldn’t just rely on official data; actual driving experience is more important, and using eco mode can significantly save fuel.
Young people driving the Swift 1.5 automatic transmission find its fuel consumption quite satisfactory. In the city, it's normally around 7 to 8 liters, and on the highway at higher speeds, it's about 6 liters. I often go on weekend trips, and with the air conditioning on and music playing, the fuel consumption remains stable without being too excessive. Driving style has a significant impact; if you drive aggressively, racing or frequently accelerating and decelerating, it can go up to 10 liters in the city. But if you relax and control the throttle, it returns to under 7 liters. Maintenance is also simple; I changed the spark plugs myself and felt it ran smoother with a slight drop in fuel consumption. Overall, it's fun to drive with controllable fuel consumption.
