Very poor mileage for Liva Petrol

 

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very spacious, comfortable seeting, normal and very simple features.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very poor fuel economy (only used shell unleaded pertrol till date), engine feels ok, and good gear box.

Ride Quality & Handling Very nice.

Final Words Its very hard for me to believe that Liva gives mileage of 11kmpl (in city) only  (using the car for more than a month now), even though company like TOYOTA claims 18.31kmpl in test conditions. During my purchase from Ravindu Toyota- Balendur (Marthahalli), I was ensured that Liva will give milage of 15 Kmpl min in city (SO UNTRUE)). How pathetic driver you may be, but there can not be so much difference and 11kmpl milage from a new age 1.2L engine is not acceptable. My 6 year old Maruti Baleno 1.6L gives me nearly 12Kmpl in city with AC (always on) and my 1999 make Maruti Esteem 1.3L gave me around 10-11 kmpl (AC always on) as well.

Areas of improvement Just improve on mileage of Petrol engines OR dont make high claims.

Good looks and handling, smooth drive, very light steering, clean gears shiftVERY POOR MILEAGE, Thud sound from suspension while crossing little swiftly small humps and holes
