Based on our real-world tests, here is a look at the Fuel-Pacific data of the Turbo-Petrol Manual version of the Toyota Urban Cruiser Tasser.
Urban cruiser taor Maruti is a mechanically similar twin of fronx and is available with the same powertrain options: with a 1.2-liter petrol either with a 5-speed manual or an automatic manual transmission (AMT) and a 1.0-liter turbo-petrol engine 5-speed manual or 6-speed torch converter (automatic). We tested the turbo-petrol-manual variants to evaluate its real world efficiency.
- Taisor’s ARAI-rated efficiency is 21.18kpl
- SUVs get mild-hybrid technology
- Its turbo-MT version weighs 1,015-1,030 kg
Toyota Taos Real World Economy
Taisor Turbo MT has a real world efficiency of 13.8kpl
Equipped with mild-hybrid technology, an automatic engine stop-start system to help tackur turbo profit from additional torque support and fuel economy. This configuration claims ARAI-rated fuel efficiency of 21.18kpl. However, in our real-world trials, Taisor returned 10.9kpl in the city and 16.7kpl on the highway-far from the official claims.
The 1.0-liter, a 3-cylinder turbocharged engine produces 100hp and distributes electricity through a flat torque curve with minimal turbo lag. The mild-hybrid system micro-load provides assistance to the engine, which helps the driving in urban conditions to feel responsible and easy without the need for aggressive throttle input. Despite being 80kg, now the 1,030 kg Taro Turbo is more efficient in the city’s driving, despite being heavier than the Disconsted Baleno RS (which had a similar powertrain).
At the speed of the highway, the engine runs at 2,700rpm in the fifth gear hovering at 100kph. A sixth gear would have given more rest to the highway and could further improve its fuel economy.
Taisor 1.2 Petrol Real world economy can be benchmark against Maruti Fronx
Although we have not tested the 1.2-liter petrol version of Taos, it is mechanically the same. Maruti Fronx Provides a useful benchmark, 13.5KPL distributing 20kpl on the highway with more manual and 13kpl (city) and 18.8kpl (highway) in the city With amt,
Autocar India’s fuel efficiency test
Prior to our real -world fuel efficiency tests, we fill the tank of our test cars up to the brim and maintain tire pressure based on the manufacturer’s recommendation. These cars are operated in and around Navi Mumbai in and around the fixed city and highway loops, and we maintain some average speed. During trials, each car has only one person, running aircraft and other electricals, such as audio systems, indicators and wipers, when necessary, like a regular user. The periodic driver swap drivers neutralizes more variation in the driver pattern. At the end of each cycle, we reconcile the tank and calculate the efficiency.
