Toyota Vitz Fuel Consumption in Kenya

My friend often mentions that her car consumes fuel very well.

She says that, on seemingly small amounts of fuel, her car just keeps going and going and going.

Apparently, this is something the Toyota Vitz is commonly known for.

Toyota Vitz Fuel Consumption per 100KM

Vitz 1300cc Fuel Consumption per KM

The Toyota Vitz fuel consumption for a 1300 cc engine is on average 18 km/L. So to drive 100km would require 5.56 liters of fuel.

1500cc Fuel Consumption per KM

For a Toyota Vitz with a 1500 cc engine, the fuel consumption is around 22.2 km/L. So to drive 100 km would require 4.50 liters of fuel.

Toyota Vitz Fuel Consumption KM/L: Toyota Vitz Fuel Average

Generally, the Toyota Vitz comes in models with engines of varying capacity, ranging from 69 horsepower to 212 horsepower.

Over this range of engine performance, the Toyota Vitz fuel consumption can range anywhere from 18 km/L to 26.5 km/L.

The lower the horsepower capacity of an engine, for any given model of car, the greater fuel economy it will offer.

There seems to be a lot of debate about what the fuel consumption of a Toyota Vitz with a 1000 cc engine is–that might be because there are several models of the Vitz with this size engine.

I have seen figures ranging from 8.9 km/L to 21.5 km/L depending on the state of the car, what fuel is used, and how the car is driven.

Whatever the case, the consensus seems to be that the 1300 cc engine in a Vitz offers better fuel economy.

Toyota Passo Fuel Consumption 1000CC vs 1300CC

The Toyota Passo is a popular compact car manufactured by Toyota and marketed primarily in Japan and some other Asian countries. The car is available in two engine sizes, 1000cc and 1300cc. In terms of fuel consumption, the difference between the two engines is not significant, but there are some variations based on the specific model and driving conditions.

The 1000cc engine is generally considered to be more fuel-efficient than the 1300cc engine, but the difference in fuel consumption between the two engines is relatively small. According to official data released by Toyota, the Passo with a 1000cc engine has a fuel consumption rating of approximately 21.0 km/L (kilometers per liter) under the JC08 test cycle, while the Passo with a 1300cc engine has a fuel consumption rating of approximately 19.4 km/L under the same test cycle. However, it’s important to note that these ratings are based on ideal driving conditions and may vary depending on driving style, traffic conditions, and other factors.

In terms of actual fuel consumption, the difference between the two engines may not be noticeable for most drivers. However, some drivers may prefer the 1300cc engine for its higher power output and better acceleration, especially when driving on hilly or mountainous terrain. On the other hand, the 1000cc engine may be a better choice for drivers who prioritize fuel efficiency and want to save on fuel costs.

It’s also important to note that fuel consumption can vary depending on the specific model and year of the Passo, as well as the type of transmission and other features. Drivers should consult the official fuel consumption ratings provided by Toyota for the specific model and year they are interested in, and also consider other factors such as maintenance costs, reliability, and resale value when choosing between the 1000cc and 1300cc engines.

Overall, the Toyota Passo is a fuel-efficient and reliable car that is popular among drivers in Japan and other Asian countries. Whether you choose the 1000cc or 1300cc engine, the Passo is a practical and affordable choice for those looking for a compact car that is easy to drive and maintain.

Is Toyota Vitz a Good Car?

The Toyota Vitz, also known as the Toyota Yaris in some markets, is generally considered a good car. It has gained popularity worldwide due to its reputation for reliability, fuel efficiency, and practicality. However, the perception of a “good car” can vary depending on individual preferences and specific needs.

Here are some key factors to consider when evaluating the Toyota Vitz:

1. Reliability: Toyota has a strong reputation for building reliable vehicles, and the Vitz is no exception. It is known for its longevity and durability, requiring minimal maintenance and repairs over time.
2. Fuel Efficiency: The Toyota Vitz is often praised for its excellent fuel efficiency, making it an economical choice for daily commuting or city driving. It typically offers competitive fuel consumption figures, which can help reduce ongoing fuel expenses.
3. Compact Size: The Vitz is a compact hatchback, which makes it easy to maneuver and park in urban environments. Its small size also contributes to its efficiency and agility on the road.
4. Safety Features: Modern versions of the Toyota Vitz come equipped with standard safety features such as airbags, anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), and traction control. It’s essential to check the specific safety features available in the model and year you are considering.
5. Interior Space and Practicality: While the Vitz is a compact car, it often offers a well-designed interior with comfortable seating and sufficient cargo space. However, the rear seating area may be a bit tight for taller passengers, so it’s advisable to test the car’s interior space to ensure it meets your needs.
6. Driving Experience: The driving experience of the Toyota Vitz is typically characterized by its smooth ride, responsive handling, and user-friendly controls. It may not be the most performance-oriented car in its segment, but it offers a balanced and comfortable driving experience for daily commuting.

When considering the suitability of the Toyota Vitz as a “good car” for your specific needs, it is recommended to take a test drive, compare it with other similar models in terms of features and pricing, and consider reviews from owners and automotive experts in your region. Ultimately, personal preferences, budget, and specific requirements will determine if the Toyota Vitz is the right car for you.

Happy New Year, dear reader!

May this year be one that brings you the desires of your heart!

May it also grant me the desires of my heart too.

When it comes to cars, I used to be extremely clear about what the desire of my heart was.

I longed for a Peugeot 307 hatchback.

For some years, I waited for the perfect combination of factors to come together so I could buy myself one.

In the meantime, I would pass by the Peugeot showroom at Sarit, just to gaze at the car and…dream.

Sadly, the perfect combination of factors is yet to come together.

Tired of longing for the same thing for so long, other culprits have begun to steal my heart.

One of these is a small Toyota hatchback known as the Toyota Vitz in our market or Toyota Echo and Toyota Yaris elsewhere in the world. (Is this where I stop to mention that both the Peugeot 307 and the Toyota Yaris were voted European Car of the Year earlier this millennium? Hmmm…does this say anything about my taste in cars? 😉 )

First Sighting of the Toyota Vitz

The Toyota Vitz first caught my eye when a car dealer neighbor of mine imported a cute purple Toyota Vitz that he used to park outside the gate of our apartment complex.

The car was a beauty!

I had never seen anything like it. One day, I stopped to find out the exact make and model of the car.

After that, I subconsciously kept an eye out for Toyota Vitzs in Nairobi, but noted that there were very few.

A couple of months later, I got to experience the Toyota Vitz up close and personal. A good friend purchased one for herself…in gold.

This color suited the Toyota Vitz even better than the purple I had seen previously!

A Very Spacious Car

On closer inspection, what surprised me most about the Toyota Vitz, was how spacious the interior was.

Although very compact on the outside, the Toyota Vitz seemed to have as much space on the inside as a regular salon car.

A couple of months after she purchased it, my friend and I put the spaciousness of the Toyota Vitz to the test during my friend’s next house move.

We packed both our cars to the full, and within 2 trips, were able to move most of her stuff.

Her car, especially with the back seats folded down, had great capacity.

Rather impressive!

Last but definitely not least, what I like most about the Toyota Vitz is the fact that its, pardon my expression, perrr-tty (pretty)!

Although I can’t firmly say that the Toyota Vitz is currently the desire of my heart when it comes to cars (my head turns too often when I see certain other makes and models pass by), it definitely has a spot on my car wish-list.

What car do you favor?
