City( Mumbai traffic, stop and go, bumper to bumper): 6.5 - 10 Kmpl

Driving to the South Bombay on weekends (smooth flow of the traffic on WEH, light foot on the gas pedal & occasionally flooring the gas pedal for overtakes well within the speed limit): 13 - 17 Kmpl

Long Highway Drives(Including ghats, i.e. Lonavala, Kasara Ghat, and a mix of highway cruising): 15 - 18 Kmpl

Here 18 Kmpl is a rare case scenario, but Suzuki Claims the car to get a fuel efficiency of 20.27Kmpl, which I have not achieved yet

I have bought new XL6 with the K15C engine TC automatic in September. It has completed 2000 kms already.

Tank to Tank mileage for daily 80kms run to office with Auto AC set at 26C in Delhi NCR is 15.

For distances shorter than 10kms, efficiency varies between 11-13.

I have also noticed that the rear AC significantly impacts the overall efficiency- to the tune of 2kmpl even with no change in load. I once drove to office with rear AC running by mistake. Upon checking the MID, efficiency for that day with everything else remaining same was 2kmpl lesser than my everyday mileage.

BTW, my colleague has manual Kia Seltos NA petrol and over the same route to office with AC gives 13 kmpl. I get 15 on the same route in my automatic XL6. Maruti certainly knows it's customer base.

Hope this helps potential buyers.

Kia Seltos owners can you kindly confirm if the car can cover a distance of 860 kms in 16 hrs and in one tank full?? An average of 23 kmpl considering a 50 ltr tank capacity.

I just couldn't believe it that the car actually did that when I travelled from Pune to Bangalore in a Bla Bla car app ride and the car owner didn't stop anywhere to refuel maintaining an avg speed of 82 kmph. It was a diesel HTX+ vehicle and year old.

Officially the tank capacity is rated 50 litres. But fill it to the brim and it can take 60+ litres easily. Assuming the tank wasn't dry and the car had used about 50 litres of fuel over 860 kms, that's 17.2 kmpl.

Edit: I checked my Fuelio logs and I have done 800-900 kms on a single tank of fuel on multiple occasions. Still had 4-6 litres of fuel left when I refuel. I am sure one could get even better range with a light foot.
