2012 Kia Rio

[poyetako]

4km/L? :faint:

Sana talaga Kia do something about this, ganda pa naman ng Kia Rio HB.

Yun 1.2LX, oo wala FC issues yan. Same engine yata yan with the 1.2L Picanto.

So sir mga ilan ang na aaverage kaya ng Rio 1.2LX?kasi nag susurvey po ako kung ano ang FC ng Rio 1.2LX sa mga owner.

[poyetako]

Mga Sir, meron po ba kayo idea kung paano isetup ang Rio 1.2LX?any pictures??

[valacirca]

^ I see. So am I correct to assume that 9.09 km/L on moderate traffic (16kph ave speed) is poor fc relative to other AT sub-compacts?

Meaning, compared to the AT Vios/City/Accent/Fiesta travelling at the same average speeds, 9km/L is still poor?

Kasi obvious naman na MT cars - lalo na yung 1.2 na mas maliit ang makina - will have better fc.

It's also obvious that cars travelling in light traffic and highway driving will yield better fc than travelling in heavy/moderate traffic.

Ang interest ko lang naman is how my fc compares to other cars in the same class travelling in the same conditions. ;) Thanks.

Sir, what car do you drive and how does its fc perform travelling 6.68kph over 90 mins? ;)

2012 Vios 1.3 MT

I drive along EDSA everyday during rush hour (back & forth around 14-15km only depending on the route I take, so that's roughly 7km one way) the lowest FC I got was 8km/L, with the aircon on and never did I get out of any traffic. Worst traffic I experienced was being stuck somewhere for around an hour or so, and yet, the FC was constant at 8-9km/L.

Boy I tell you malakas na yung 8km/L. Meron nga nagpapanic na kapag bumaba ng 10km/L FC ng Vios. :lol:

When the traffic clears out, on city driving best I got was around twelve. Highway I got around 19km/L. 21km/L is achievable but I was too impatient to drive * a constant of 80kph.

Vios' ODO is 1k+ only.

Also, I've driven a 2.7L VVTi Fortuner. Traffic as well, and it was a lot longer than your 90 mins, there were a lot of stops too (w/o the engine being shut down) as I had to pick something up at various places. FC, according to the MID is 5.8km/L. Give and take 1km/L less, that's around 5km/L. Fortuner's ODO was 80k.

The FD we have here at home also experience traffic on a regular basis, if I remember correctly, the worst FC it got was around 6km/L.

FDs ODO 60-70k kms

For a 1.4L, 4km/L is simply unacceptable, for me... at least. However, if I was driving a 2.5L FXT (got around 5km/L on it last time I drove one...) or a 4.8L V8 Expedition masaya na ko sa 4km/L hehe.

FXTs ODO ~20k.

Paano nyo po nasabi ito?

Sidenote: Bakit ba parang ang pakiramdam ko dito yung mga tao eh "selective reading" ang ginagawa. Yung "Fuel Consumption" figures lang ang nakikita at hindi yung ibang info?

actually, that is an old joke if you have a car that consumes gas on a high rate

do you stay in gear while in traffic or put you A/T in N? staying in gear while crawling will consume you more gas..

[poyetako]

Body kits for your HB rio mga sir. Yun lang hindi parin enjoy kahit meron ganito lakas sa Gas e. Heheh sharing is caring 50k meron kna pla mgandang Body kits!http://www.**************/index.php/...ition,12-8,228

Actualy, what I am asking is how you can say that 9km/L going at 16kph is consuming gas at a high rate compared to other similar AT variants of subcompact cars...

Ah manual pala kasi. Does EDSA traffic during rush hour slow down to a speed of 6kph?

[valacirca]

do you stay in gear while in traffic or put you A/T in N? staying in gear while crawling will consume you more gas..

Always Neutral + Handbrake when in long stops.

[valacirca]

Decided to try driving the car on SLEX today to see how it fares with mixed city and highway driving.

Speeds in C5 and SLEX averaged around 80kph, but traffic was slow in Pasig and Sta.Rosa, which is why the average speed for the whole trip ended up at 30.7kph.

Pasig to Nuvali and back:
Time = 2h59m
Distance = 92.1km
Ave Speed = 30.7kph
Fuel Consumption = 14.67 km/L

Yup tingin ko ecu upgrade talaga kelangan, parang yun ginawa ng hari sa accent. Like what nicky said, 1st and 2nd gear are very long.




Nun nagtest yun cac guy ng unit ko, yan mga ecu upgrade ginagawa nalang nila pag nag pms. Pero normally daw hindi na nila sinasabi o tatawagan ang client pag may bagong update o upgrade.

Alam ko pa nga number nun cac guy eh, gusto niyo meet natin minsan. mag ipon ipon tayo tas raise natin concerns pero hindi ako sigurado kung makakatulong.

hi c_cube maybe i would agree with you about no need to tell the owner sa upgrade ng ECU for PMS,pero iba naman situation natin eh lahat ng unit nila may problem sa FC,and hindi naman kaila sa kanila na ang dami ng nag complain sa kanila.that is why they should do something about it,to stay competative.
kung ayaw nilang dumami complains they should be honest sa mga potential buyer nila ng rio5,tell them straight to their face when ask about FC na 7km lang or less sa city driving.
usually this is the first questions ask ng mga buyer ng auto diba,kung anu-ano pa kasing paliguy ligoy na sagot.
about us owners no need na mag meet para i-raise ang concern,i think we should just press them na gawan nila ng paraan problema. and napaka simple lang gawin nila eh tawagan nila kia korea at sabihin problema

FXTs ODO ~20k.

Fortuner? Uht-uh... 3.0 in traffic tops out at 5 kml, given a 15-20 kmh average.

At an average of 15 kmh, Vios and Mazda2 AT around 7.5, Fiesta, Accent, Jazz 1.5 and 1.6 are at 6.5.

6 kmh is beyond dreadful. That's like going to Divisoria at Christmas.

6 kmh is dreadful.

[renzo_d10]

Christmas season nga yung 6km/L ko sa FD, Niky. After nun last year di na naulit. Hehe. Average of 7-9km/L na. Maybe this Christmas season lalakas ulit.. Grabe traffic eh.

Ya malakas talaga Fortuner. Was expecting around 6.5km/L at least sa 2.7G nung sobra traffic, di kaya hehehe

got to test the fuel consumption of my rio 1.2lx at highway(manila to pangasinan and vice versa)
from manila to pangasinan (varying speed 80-120 kph with moderate traffic from taft ave to a. bonifacio, ) fc at MID 5.5l/100km or 18km/l
from pangasinan to manila (varying speed 80-150 kph at sctex and nlex) fc at MID is 6.0/100km or 16.67km/l
total distance travelled is 460km. actual fuel consumed is 27liters
actual FC is 17km/l
current ODO reading is 580km

[poyetako]

Awwwesssoommeee Sir!! Definitely 1.2LX na bibilhin namin. kasi tga San Carlos, Pangasinan din kami. Edi pumapalo lang ng 1,400 Pesos ang nagagastos mo sir sa Gas! Akala ko malakas din sa Gas ang Rio 1.2LX. Thanks ano pa additional info sir about sa FC ng rio nyo?And any modification?

[composite]

Guys, na mga nka-Hb. Nacheck nyo na ba yung front disc brake pati yung screw or Nut sa may front and rear suspension? Napansin ko ang bilis kalawangin. Mga 1 week pa lang yung hb ko, mern ng kalawang. Hnd ko pa nmn sinasabak sa baha. Kasi mostly andto ako dasma cavite. Diba dapat nka rust-proof yun? Try nyo din icheck sa inyo.

[composite]

best fc so far. From dasma to quezon Ave.

[trup]

*composite: sir hiway yan? Normal driving or not going beyond 2000rpm?

*composite: sir hiway yan? Normal driving or not going beyond 2000rpm?

Sir, Dasma to manggahan Cavite: light traffic lng nmn. Manggahan to Tejero: highway pero with slow tricycles paminsan-minsan. Cavitex highway, coastal biglang moderate to heavy traffic. Macapagal light traffic (usual stop and Go sa traffic lights). PICC light to moderate. Quirino Light to moderate, Araneta Light to Moderate.
Sa Coastal lng tlga sir ako medyo ntraffic. The rest, light to moderate. 70 highway 30 mixed.

Pag manila ako, average fc ko mga 9L/100km to 10.8L/100km sa MID.

Sir, I think effective tlga yung magandang driving habits. Anticipation of stop in red lights or traffic(cruise) No sudden stop or sudden acceleration. Neutral+handbreak kpg stop. Then kpg down hill 1st or 2ng gear lng. Light lng s gas pedal n kapag nasa 70-90kph cruising style lng (2-3 secs gas then release then gas ult..so on and so forth) then kpg maluwag tlga, sportronic manual nasa 4th gear 1500-2000 rpm lng khit nasa 100kph na ako. Aircon nasa 2 fans 22 degrees Celsius.
Tpos tntry ko tlga iwasan yung mga traffic routes.

Pero lhat ng mga nakukuha ko ay sa MID lng yan sir. Cguro next week ko pa makukuha tlga yung manual computation ko kpg nagpafulltank ult ako. Pero alam ko sir na konti lng difference ng actual fc sa nakukuha sa MID.

Mga sir na nka hatchback or Rio Sedan try nyo read Manual sa 5-49. About po yun sa Economical operation(para maganda fc) nkaindicate na po yung mga suggestions para maimprove fc ng sasakyan.
