What is the fuel consumption of the Toyota Vios 1.5 automatic transmission?
5 Answers
Toyota Vios 1.5L automatic transmission has a combined fuel consumption of approximately 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers. The following is relevant information about the Toyota Vios: 1. Body dimensions: The Toyota Vios is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4435mm in length, 1700mm in width, 1490mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2550mm. 2. Configuration: The Toyota Vios is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, with a maximum power output of 81 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 138 Newton meters. The drive system is front-wheel drive. 3. Suspension: The front suspension uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I just got my Toyota Vios 1.5 automatic three months ago, driving daily in city traffic plus elevated roads for my commute. The current displayed fuel consumption is stable at around 6.8L. On weekends when I take the highway, it drops to 5.5L, which is significantly more fuel-efficient compared to my friends' cars in the same class. However, during the first two weeks after purchase, the fuel consumption spiked to 8L before gradually decreasing as I got used to driving it. Running the AC adds about 0.5L to the consumption, but it's unavoidable in summer. I always keep the tire pressure at 2.5Bar, and after regular maintenance and oil changes, the fuel consumption drops a bit more. For city commuting, I'm quite satisfied with this fuel efficiency.
As an automotive repair professional, I often receive inquiries from Vios owners regarding fuel consumption. The 1.5L Dual VVT-i engine paired with a CVT transmission has an official fuel consumption rating of 5.1L, while real-world urban driving typically yields 6.5-7.2L. Just two days ago, I serviced a three-year-old Vios where the owner reported long-term fuel consumption of 7.5L due to frequent AC usage in congested traffic. Driving habits are crucial - aggressive acceleration can spike instantaneous consumption to 15L, while smooth driving optimizes efficiency. A 42L fuel tank typically covers 600km, and I recommend using 0W-20 grade engine oil.
After studying fuel consumption data of compact cars, the Vios 1.5 automatic transmission performs well among its peers. It's about 0.3L more fuel-efficient than the Honda Fit and 0.5L more than the Volkswagen Polo. Particularly, its start-stop system automatically turns off the engine at red lights, making it especially suitable for urban commuting. My recorded six-month fuel consumption data shows: approximately 6.3L without air conditioning in spring and autumn, and up to 7.1L in winter with more cold starts. Tire pressure 0.2Bar lower than recommended increases fuel consumption by 3%, and carrying over 50kg of miscellaneous items in the trunk also consumes more fuel, so proper loading is crucial.
My Vios 1.5 automatic is mainly used for picking up and dropping off kids, with a 5km one-way trip passing through 7 traffic lights. The displayed fuel consumption always hovers around 7.2L, being highest during cold starts in winter. The most fuel-efficient scenario is maintaining a steady 60km/h speed on elevated roads, where it can drop to 5.8L. I've calculated at refueling that with 92-octane gasoline now costing over 8 yuan per liter, my monthly commuting fuel expense is around 600 yuan, which is completely acceptable for a working-class family. I'd suggest not worrying too much about fuel consumption during the break-in period for new cars, as it noticeably decreases after the first maintenance.
