The transmission in these keep you around the speed limit effortlessly and I’m sure there’s some witchcraft going on because before school reopened I managed to get 810km from 55L..
Dave was it you who sent me sti trim bits on a XV?? I’m in need of that website .

seems this is the way to go to save money now that gas gone up again. the foreign used u cant trust them as they roll back mileage and u doh know how much mileage that battery went through (unless u do a 'scan'?).
but ideally it have to be with several years warranty for that hybrid battery - so which dealer offering that? toyota?
Toyota hybrid battery warranty depends on where it was purchased. They range from 5 yr/100k mile to 10 yr/150k mile. The UK offers an extended 15 yr warranty.

This surprised me 8.7km/l. Guess if fuel efficiency is important you'd buy one of Toyota's Hybrid models.

Wait... Don't take offence eh, but you sure that's the correct consumption? Is it consistent? I had ah old bragadang age 20yrs and I got 10km/L. Maybe its a computation mistake or something?Bimmerhead wrote:Toyota Corolla Cross.

EPA estimate is 12.6 km/l. Variations in traffic and driving conditions would make the results plausible.viedcht wrote:Wait... Don't take offence eh, but you sure that's the correct consumption?

depends whether its city/traffic or free highway driving. tho i heard a hybrid not as efficient at>80kph as a non-hybrid - that true?
I was hoping we getting more efficient with fuel consumption. Saw some older fielder non- hybrid men saying their average mixed is 14-16km/L. Corolla cross I had higher hopes foradnj wrote:EPA estimate is 12.6 km/l. Variations in traffic and driving conditions would make the results plausible.viedcht wrote:Wait...

The EPA estimates are 30 city/31 highway. There is not going to be much differe nce in estimated economy between 1.8L and 2.0L. The engines are usually only smaller to meet import requirements. The larger engines are kept to improve low end torque.redmanjp wrote:adnj wrote:EPA estimate is 12.6 km/l.

Correct because at over 70kph the engine runs constant so it burns gas as normal. Main rd driving once u under 70kph and you release the accelerator the EV kicks in until you accelerate hard again. I accelerate to build up to about 60kph, release the accelerator to let the Ev kick in and then press the accelerator a little bit and hold, just enough to maintain that speed without the EV cutting off. I can go a good 2km before the battery goes low and the engine kicks in to recharge
Super. And i don't use that silly auto start/stop function... that just does annoy me.Bimmerhead wrote:fokhan_96 wrote:15.1 km/l ... 2020 impreza20221019_163827.jpg
This is very impressive i must say.
Only question, does this take super or premium?

so there is no transmission or overdrive that would have improved efficiency above 80?
