D naman sobra traffic. Regular city traffic in metro manila lang. At all the time mag isa lang ako. Full tank give me around 400km. Automatic nga lang yun.

Mine is the CRDi A/T variant. My drive is from the diliman area to pasig. i consistently get 7 km/liter using shell diesoline without topping off the fuel tank (single automatic lang).

I think malabo ang 5.5K para sa CRDI carens since 2.0 lang engine displacement. Sorento nga which is 2.5 city malimit between 8-9K. Mag improve pa yan siguro pag nabatak na ang makina.

Tsk, tsk. Nasobrahan ata talaga sa bigat. Innova na lang maski bakya na.

Hello Hominid,
My dad is going to buy a Crdi na Carens na M/T. I'll try to post my comments here & the picture of the vehicle itself when we have it. What i was able to test drive was the CVVT Shiftronic. I like the drive..it was like driving a car. What my dad liked about the Carens was how the concept was made...may SUV style ka na tpos may MPV ka pa. It's a vehicle w/ a dual purpose. Nice concept of Kia Motors.

15km/l city driving? don't think so.. i got d4d m/t could get only 10-11km/l city driving...went to tagaytay 14-15km/l...went to baguio medyo bumaba 13-14km/l dahil cgro nagpalit ako ng mags from 15" to 18"..

I've never seen more than 10 km/l from the Innova in city driving. And I don't drive it fast. Consumption is about the same as our Crosswind in all situations... but at least it's much easier to overtake with, and it drives very nicely for an AUV.

Tip: don't record fuel economy from the fuel-trip meters. They'll only show you transient economy. True fuel economy should be recorded by checking the odometer against fuel used.

If you're basing consumption off of the fuel estimate given on the onboard computer while running, that doesn't work. When you're coasting, you can get it to read over 20 km/l.

i think fuel consumption will improve after 5Tkms...here is my recent figure when we had a family trip to baguio last month we leave early 11pm para iwas dami trucks.. total distance 918km (dami kasi pinuntahan ndi lang sa baguio) and total top up 67.91 liters of diesel for about 13.517km/l...i was surprise when we top up in la union before going up it cost me 900++ petot only to full tank from a full tank it was in lucena...
