Hyundai cars have high fuel consumption?
-
I heard from my uncle who is working at Cycle & Carriage that Hyundai cars have a high fuel consumption. He obtained this information from the many customers that come for servicing as well as the mechanics there.
Are there any Hyundai car owners here who might want to verify this claim? -
All my fds who drives Hyundai told me that same....on Elentra, Accent & Trajet...drink petrol like drink water...my fd say petrol see beh siong!!n So far the new Matrix & Getz I dunno yet..Originally posted by hotxyz2002:I heard from my uncle who is working at Cycle & Carriage that Hyundai cars have a high fuel consumption.

$50 full-tank... travel almost 500km... seems ok to me

My fd Trajet...family go out....$70 petrol go 400km++...Originally posted by kopiosatu:$50 full-tank... travel almost 500km... seems ok to me -
I drive a Hyundai Accent 1.3 Manual and got 12.5 km per litre.
But a Hyundai car cost about $8k to 10k less than an equivalent Jap model. So over 10 years, the extra petrol cost may even out the car price difference. -
don't bluff la.....my colleagues driving Hyundai, Mazda 323 and Protege all experiencing 7-9km/litre situation....

You must have lots of colleagues to make this conclusion. They must be driving the Hyundai Matrix.Originally posted by 2004Lancer:don't bluff la.....my colleagues driving Hyundai, Mazda 323 and Protege all experiencing 7-9km/litre situation.... -
Depends on how and where you drive. If you drive mostly in city and a heavy-footer, then fuel-consumption is higher.Originally posted by 2004Lancer:don't bluff la.....my colleagues driving Hyundai, Mazda 323 and Protege all experiencing 7-9km/litre situation....
I used to own a Hyundai Accent 1.5M Manual and getting abt 11 to 12km/l. -
My Accent 1.5(Auto) top up $50 can travel
350km-normal road only
450km-80% Express way + 20% normal road
Calculate from Full tank to Reserve tank.

DON'T BLUFF LA......

sure can testify those hyundai car owners.... consumption for accent at 12.5l/km++ is attainable....
go to clubhyundai to check out the fuel consumptions... there are a few thread on this issue.....
change your view on Korean Car!!! big improvement compared to 8~10yrs back..... gap is closing.... -
I am getting 10-11 km/l on my auto protege leh.... 90% city driving somemoreOriginally posted by 2004Lancer:don't bluff la.....my colleagues driving Hyundai, Mazda 323 and Protege all experiencing 7-9km/litre situation.... -
Anyway why would hyundai car owners go to C&C for servicing???Originally posted by hotxyz2002:I heard from my uncle who is working at Cycle & Carriage that Hyundai cars have a high fuel consumption.

The only Korean car under C&C is Kia... -

OOOPS! So sorry! My mistake. I have checked with my uncle whether it is Hyundai or Kia. He told me that it was actually Kia that he was referring to.

Well, I guess it was a blessing in disguise as we now know that Hyundai do consume a lot of fuel too just as its counterpart, Kia.
What about Kia owners out there? Is this true? -
Yeah I think that makes sense. Anyway the most common assumptions are Korean made cars tends to have higher petrol consumption but they car generally the cheaper cars around lor. So the same for KIA also lar.Originally posted by stealthguy:I drive a Hyundai Accent 1.3 Manual and got 12.5 km per litre.

I think Kia & Hyundai cars are more thirsty because of their technology leh. Many brands of cars can achive lower FC because of VVTi , IDSi ...EtcOriginally posted by hotxyz2002:OOOPS! So sorry!

And i think Korean cars have yet to use such fuel system..so Korean cars have higher FC.
I do know a friend selling away her Matrix because of High FC plus under power -
So, does anyone know which car gives the lowest fuel consumption?
-
true... it depends on the driver.Originally posted by simcity:Depends on how and where you drive. If you drive mostly in city and a heavy-footer, then fuel-consumption is higher.
I used to own a Hyundai Accent 1.5M Manual and getting abt 11 to 12km/l.
personally, i seldom go over 3000rpm, unless its the 5th gear on the expressway. -
Knn, people states their experiences with the cars and u still tell them dun bluff. I think it's ur colleagues who bluff you. WahaahahaOriginally posted by 2004Lancer:don't bluff la.....my colleagues driving Hyundai, Mazda 323 and Protege all experiencing 7-9km/litre situation.... -
Not all Hyundai cars have have fuel consumption... most of them are comparable to their Jap counterparts (Of cos engines like
i-dsi and vvt-i are a different breed)... it's juz the Matrix which is fuel-thirsty cos its damn heavy and the engine is not powerful enough -
DON'T BLUFF!!!

Face it, Hyundai Accent has better FC than the Lancer.Originally posted by 2004Lancer:DON'T BLUFF!!! -
Let's have the facts. My Lancer (auto) on average goes abt 13-14km/LOriginally posted by stealthguy:Face it, Hyundai Accent has better FC than the Lancer.
What abt Hyundai Accent? -
i drove hyundai matrix.. very fuel consuming.
mine avg can travel 350km on full tank -
a lot of factor affecting the fuel consumptions....
for example:
(a) car weight
(b) load carried by the car
(c) driving pattern %urban vs %highway
(d) driving habit... heavy footer vs light footer
so i think it may not be fair to compare apple & oranges per se....
