What is the fuel consumption of the Vios 1.5?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Vios 1.5 is approximately 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers. 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 leads to increased fan speed and lower temperature settings to achieve a comfortable effect. 2. Frequent sudden braking: Frequent sudden braking is the main reason for persistently high fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. 3. Avoid excessive use of air conditioning in small-displacement vehicles: For vehicles exposed to direct sunlight, avoid turning on the air conditioning immediately after 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 remember driving the Vios 1.5 for several years, and its average fuel consumption is quite reliable at 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers. For daily commuting in the city, it can rise to around 6.2 liters when stuck in traffic, but drops back to 4.9 liters on the highway. Fuel efficiency largely depends on your driving habits—avoid aggressive acceleration and braking, and gentle driving can save a lot of fuel. I make it a habit to perform regular maintenance, such as checking the air filter and spark plugs, as dirt buildup can increase fuel consumption. Cleaning them monthly can reduce consumption by about 0.2 liters. The car's lightweight design and low drag coefficient mean the tank isn’t large, but a full tank can cover over 600 kilometers, making it a practical family car. I recommend new drivers test different road conditions to understand their habits, which helps stabilize fuel consumption.
