[adeebnoori]

Aoa.
Guys can you please share your actual experiences of driving Grande 1.8 and Gli 1.3 in terms of Fuel consumption. im planning to get a 2015/16 Grande or Gli. i heard Grande has better fuel economy than Gli despite having bigger engine. there's only a difference of about 2 lac in price of 15/16 models. So why not to go for Grande... pls guide me...

Manual 1.8 has even better economy. If you travel on long routes a lot then definitely get the 1.8, for small city start and stop i think 1.3 has better economy. 1.8 also has many other features not present in 1.3 including better brakes.

W.S. Yes, Grande' has better fuel efficiency than 1.3L GLI, due to better power to weight ratio.

Rest @haseeb.basharat can guide further / best in this regard.

1.8 variant is most fuel friendly

Power aur economy sath sath

Can't say more then this. This is what I get from my 2016 1.8cvti
11-13km/l within city
17-18km/ at 110 on motorway
15-16km/l at 120 on motorway
Keeps dropping till 160km/h and I get 10-11km/l at 160km/h. 8-9km/l on 180km/h.
Got 109k kms on odometer.

Don't judge me. I have driven on many different scenarios.

For the manual i have heard that 1.3 is better with a light foot. For the automatic gli yes the grande has way better fuel economy.

Gli auto 1.3 FL
Local drive 12 - 13 Km/l
Long route 110-120 13.5- 14.5 km/l
90-100 Long route 15.5-16.5 Km/l ( on motrway only not highway )
Highway where u need braking its almost 13.5 kmpl

This all is based on tank to tank method and tracked via an app

gli has a better fuel economy in city where there is a stop and go situation whereas grande has better economy on long routes. i have both so that's the conclusion i got.
grande is also much more comfortabe and fun to drive. the rest is your own choice.
