What is the fuel consumption of the Yaris L?
4 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Yaris L is 6.5-7.1L/100km. The currently available Yaris L models include five versions: the 2022 Yaris X 1.5L CVT Leading PLUS, Luxury PLUS, CVT Premium, Leading PLUS, and Luxury PLUS. The official NEDC combined fuel consumption is slightly lower than the actual fuel consumption, at 5.0L/100km. Among vehicles in the same class, the Honda Fit has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 5.2-5.6L/100km, the LIFE has 5.6L/100km, the Vios FS has 4.9L/100km, the Vios has 4.9-5.1L/100km, and the Kia Pegas has 5.7L/100km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. The details are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also have higher fuel consumption due to the need for greater driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved 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 temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, further increasing fuel consumption.
Since I bought the Yaris for commuting, I've been using it for over three years, and I feel its fuel consumption is quite good. On average, it consumes about 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers in city driving, and it can drop to 5.8 liters on the highway, which is quite economical overall. Of course, actual fuel consumption may vary depending on road conditions or driving habits. For example, it might rise to over 7 liters in heavy traffic, but driving steadily and avoiding sudden braking can help save fuel. Regular maintenance of the tires and engine, along with keeping the tire pressure adequate, has been a big help. As a compact car, the Yaris doesn’t have a large fuel tank, but it’s very efficient—a full tank can cover over 500 kilometers, which is enough for weekend trips with the family. In short, I chose it mainly for its affordability and reliability.
As an office worker, I've been driving the Yaris for almost a year now, mainly in the city, and the fuel consumption has remained quite stable, averaging around 6.3 liters per 100 kilometers. The automatic version is slightly higher at 6.7 liters, but I prefer the control that comes with a manual transmission. During morning rush hour traffic, the fuel consumption goes up a bit, but as long as I avoid peak hours or choose the eco-driving mode, I can keep it down. The car has enough power, and I don't feel the pinch at the pump, saving a lot on fuel costs each month—perfect for young people like me who are careful with their money. Maintenance is straightforward; even changing the air filter can improve fuel efficiency, and I avoid using my phone while driving to prevent sudden acceleration.
I'm particularly fascinated with compact cars and have driven several models, including the Yaris. Its fuel consumption performance is above average, averaging just over 6 liters per 100 kilometers. Compared to the Honda Fit's 5.8 liters or the Volkswagen Polo's 6.5 liters, the Yaris has a slight advantage in fuel efficiency, especially in urban driving. The engine tuning is responsive, with quick starts but minimal fuel consumption fluctuation. During testing, I tried different road conditions: it achieved 5.5 liters in suburban areas and about 6.8 liters in city driving. Driving style plays a significant role; gentle acceleration and smooth steering can lower the figures. Personally, I think the higher trim levels might consume slightly more, but the standard version offers great value for money.
