Corolla XLI Fuel consumption

[jz]

the 9th gen n the 10th gen are v different when it comes to economy,10th gen engine is squeezed to give economy,it has no power ,this is not the case with 9th gen as 9th gen performs good but eonomy is bad

Bro your Gli is not performing well my Gli 2010 Totally on Petrol gives me 17km/l in City without AC and 16km/l with AC in City.Yesterday changed its Engine oil to Caltex 10W 30 and used a Leppon Oil Filter.Before i was using Petromin 20w 50 and in City i was getting 13.9/14km/l.Now i am very happy with its consumption.

[jz]

which oil do u use?
is the service done on time?
throttle,intake manifold etc?
which plugs do u use?
how do u drive?

i need serious reply from owners of these corollas???

thanks

i hv 2010 xli, now its consumption has lowered to 9.5 km/L. i went to toyota motors as car was giving start up problems, thay gave me solution to replace all plugs, air filters and carboretor cleaning. i did all but same problems of low mileage and start up

I have 2007 model without cng. On long route it gives maximum 15kmpl with AC @100-100km/h and with heavy foot it gives 11kmpl.

Pretty Insane stuff being said here.
2002-2008 corolla gives me 10 in city and 12 on motorway with Ac.
2008+ is vvti version hence gives more got 13 in city with ac no idea abt long.

Secondly its always been a trend to bad mouth newer models.

There are 3 problems in 2008+ xli/corolla
1)On CNG its not good as old model
2)A bit underpowered then old one, it only matters when you intend to do drag races lol.
3) they complain abt less ac cooling, to me thats a myth or due to not cleaning/replacing ac filter.

If you intend to drive on Petrol 2008+ Xli(not cnged) is the one IHMO.

Qwertypoiu, your third point..... I took out my sister's brand new 1.3 GLi from Toyota showroom in 2010 and I felt it's A/C wasn't too good. Now you can't say it had anything wrong or bad. I mentioned it to Rozzzzz who had a GLi like your Corolla and his words were, 'the third level of new Corolla's A/C cools as much as second of the previous' and I found him to be correct.

The newer AC systems with RF134a or HFO-1234yf refrigerants do not cool as well as the older R-12 based systems. They need properly sized components to cool effectively, but the newest designs try to save too much weight and cost to reduce the impact on fuel economy.

[Vajih102]

So you do agree with my experience, correct?

Sir jee....the pick up and AC of 2008+ xli/Gli are worst ever...older models are better in both these functions.

I have kept both on CNG i.e. xli 2006 and xli 2010 both stock, xli 2006 giving 180+- kms in local w/o AC with light foot while 2010 xli giving 150 in local w/o AC with light foot, now compare both. AC of 2006 is best no doubt comparing with 2010, pick of 2006 is also good 2010 feels sluggish some time. Never checked on petrol.

[aoun556]

i dont know whats wrong with peoples corolla.my cousin 2011 xli which i drive mostly gives 13-14 in city and 18-19 km/l on highway keeping speed between 90-100.and on gas it gives 200 km within city on 10kg cylender and 250km on long.even achieved 18km/liter in city by strickly keeping rpm below 2000 and other hypermiling techniques. Cant say about power coz i havent any experience of 02-08 corolla.

[OmairHassan]

My Xli 2013 gives me 12-12.5 kpl (with AC) in city and 16.5 to 17(with AC) on highway.
i think it all depends on the driving habits.

I own both new and old corollas, old gli new xli

New corolla is very comfortable, drive, grip and breaks are way better than old model.

New xli does around 13 in city without ac and 17 on long (motorway) and around 18 on gt road both with ac. Cant really say about exact mileage of old corolla as I hardly drive it but its definitely heavy on fuel. Bith of my cars are petrol.

I personally find new corolla better in every aspect for pickup old corolla has a slight edge of pickup but after the vvti kick old corolla becomes history new corolla has better top speed and its very quite, about ac yes old corolla has a better ac.

change plugs dear to NJK and u may feel a change

I currently have 7 10th gen corolla's as I have rent a car bussines. All of my cars are on petrol. Often travel with 5 peoples onboard plus luggage on long routes. Average varies between 15 to 17 km/l with Ac.
Regarding the cooling of Ac, I also think that its cooling is not that good. I have booked a 11th gen and will get my hands on it in Aug. Hope its Ac would work fine.

Highway mileage?

[tausifs]

I have had both the generations. Corolla 2003-2008 Fuel mileage is no doubt 1 to 2 Km/L (max) better than the 2009-2014 mainly due to the ideal power to weight ration of the earlier. However, the well known brakes issue in 2003-2008 corolla should not be ignored. My 2012 Corolla started giving me good mileage after the initial 5000 Kms and got better uptill 15000 Km untill I sold it :-). I can confirm you that it gave me 11 Km/L in city with AC and moderate foot (Not light) and a few sudden accelerations every day to get out of traffic. It went max upto 11.5 to 12 km/L without AC (in winters) and 13 to 15 km/L on highway. Am not confident about the highway mileage because don't drive on long routes much.

1 to 2 km/L is not much of a difference considering the vvti technology and better braking capabilities of the later. You should keep in mind the braking issues especially if you plan to travel on highways. I would recommend to go for the 2009-2014 model Gli as it is also equipped with ABS.

Best of luck.

Highway mileage?

Yup!

Dear I am owing both Corolla's 2007 Xli with CNG and 2009 XLi without CNG. Both are with genuine tyre size.
2007 corolla XLi is excellent on CNG. It gives 120km with Ac on 8.5kg CNG filled. But on petrol it's very bad coz its rpm is set on 1100 which disturbs its fuel consumption. So my car do 8km/l.
2009 corolla XLi is doing 11.5 - 12.5 km/l on petrol without Ac and with Ac 10.5 - 11.5km/l.
Its average on highway it is same due to full truck with luggage and full 5 seats occupied.

AOA i have Corolla Xli 2006 model ... it is giving me 8 km / L in city .. i have checked that with ac On for almost 30% of the time . The mileage i am telling you is after tuning . what should i do to increase its fuel consumption , i know its not good enough ..! thanks

[heart.brakr554]

My Corolla xli 2006 is giving 10 in city with ac off most of the times .. how much it should give ?
