What is the fuel consumption of the Toyota IZOA?
2 Answers
Toyota IZOA has a total of 8 models on sale. Among them, four models including the 2021 2.0L Yi Dong Edition and the 2021 2.0L Yi Xiang Edition, equipped with a 171 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.7L per 100 kilometers. Another four models, including the 2021 Hybrid 2.0L Yi Xing Edition and the 2021 Hybrid 2.0L Yi Xiang Edition, equipped with a 146 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 4.5L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity of different Toyota IZOA models varies. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 171 horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 50L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 50/5.7*100=877KM. For models equipped with a 146 horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 43L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 43/4.5*100=956KM. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not releasing the throttle in advance when encountering a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight also consume more fuel because greater weight requires larger driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Toyota IZOA for over a year now, and honestly, its fuel consumption is quite satisfying. The official figure is around 5.6L/100km, but in city driving, I typically get 7-8L/100km, which drops back to about 5.5L on highways—quite reasonable. Many factors affect fuel consumption, like traffic jams, blasting the AC, or aggressive acceleration like I used to do, all of which can spike the numbers. I've learned to drive smarter now—anticipating traffic lights and using cruise control—which has stabilized my mileage. Seasonal changes also play a role; AC use in summer and warming up the car in winter both increase consumption. Overall, if you drive smoothly, the IZOA performs well on fuel efficiency, saving you a few hundred bucks a month on gas. The car itself is lightweight, powered by a 1.2T engine, making it very commuter-friendly.
