Need Help: What will be the Aqua 2013 fuel consumption in my driving requirements?

[irfanmansha]

@uzeemujeeb you are right "correctly suggested upon your drive & traffic conditions you do not need hybrid you need a reliable fuel efficient car."

When i compare Suzuki with Toyota, Suzuki is far behind from Toyota in terms of quality and durability. Even local Toyota cars quality doesn't compete with JDM Toyota cars quality.

Sorry to say, Suzuki is just looting Pakistani consumers with both hands.

Hybrid cars are the best. Toyota dealership should be able to source the parts easily. Vehicle driven with care and serviced regularly will last for longer. Suzuki with 660cc is ok for local driving. New car hardly needs parts unless wrecked.

Sir! It's 2019 not 1995. In this era, people have access of resources and information.

Lie is everywhere in our market from automobiles to other businesses. Yesterday i needed water for my brother. I was searching Asli Punjab Industries API. Shopkeepers were showing me Super Punjab and New Punjab as API

Buying a JDM requires patience.Patience is key. Dealers are fraud. Dealers intentionally buy 3 Grade and R grande accidents JDMs to earn maximum profit. They show fake auction sheets and lie a lot.

If consumer is educated or wise, he should study that how to buy a good JDM. It's purchase of millions not rupees. Good JDMs are also available specially who import by themselves.

In same way, you get very good kabli parts if you have good knowledge of kabli market. If there were no kabli parts, this will be difficult to afford car for middle class. Taxes are already sky high.

I have bought this Vitz after searching 1.5 months. During search, most of JDMs i found were R accident grade. I got 4 grade car. Just small part of fender and door is painted rest is 100% genuine. I had verified it with Paint checker pen made by Poland. I also got it's auction sheet from PakWheels. I spent 10k for 10 auction sheets but it paid off later,

Alhumdulillah! I have not gone to workshop yet. It starts on first try after 4 to 5 days. Didn't get any issue. I am happy with my purchase.

Good to know your experience. Yes as Pakistani our mental approach is to earn maximum through lies and shortcuts. I bought used cars with low milage and one zero meter car so far. Brand new vehicle never gave me any trouble in 5 years. Rest of the vehicle I never had any big issue.

It generally takes around a km of drive to charge the battery from 40% to 60%, between which the battery operates in normal conditions, but that is not always true. A lot depends on the conditions, like how fast you are accelerating, what is the temperature of the batteries, what speeds are you driving on and battery health etc.

@umairalizafar Umair bhai the information provided in above paragraph is important. Would you please provide information that what speed, batteries temperature and battery health are required to charge batteries 40%-60% in 1 kilometer. Thanks.

[umairalizafar]

If you maintain a steady speed for 50-70 km/h, you will be putting minimal load on the drivetrain, and the batteries will charge quicker. Acceleration drains batteries, no matter what speed you are moving at.

Ideal temperature for batteries is 25 degrees C. The temperature you see on the dashboard etc is not representative of the battery temperature, you will have to check it through some OBD tool, like Dr Prius, Hybrid Assistant etc. It is normally higher than the ambient temperature. Like nowadays, before the rainy season started, my batteries used to be at 35-38 degrees when the car was started. Quick charging/discharging also heats up batteries.

As a thumb rule, a healthy battery charges and discharges better than a weak battery. Battery health depends on charge/discharge cycles, age and usage. Toyota gives a warranty of 8 years and 100k miles (now extended to 10 years and 150k miles). Quicker acceleration/deceleration reduces hybrid component life. Slow and steady increase/decrease in speed is better for the health of both the motor generators and the hybrid battery.

Very informative.

@umairalizafar What's the price of 2013 and 2014 Aqua G 4 Grade in white color after prices raise in Pakistan?

What's the price of my Vitz 2013 White 4 Grade in very good condition?

So that i can know the next investment.

[umairalizafar]

No idea about prices.

Aqua Research Conclusion
A Aqua is a beautiful car from inside and outside.

Aqua Fuel Consumption
Aqua is very fuel efficient car for long tips. Aqua owner must have at least 50kms travelling daily to save fuel.

On long Aqua routes with steady speed 80-90km/h, you get 24-26km/l average which is awesome.

More you drive Aqua more fuel you save. If you drive Aqua less, you save less.

Short Trips
@umairalizafar, @talhamaqsoodch , @Shahab1234, Owais, priuschat and talking with different people it is confirmed that Aqua gives 15-18km/l fuel average on short trips with AC.

Aqua gives 23-25km/l on long trips.

To get good average on short trips you must have long trips to charge the batteries.

Should buy 4 Grade Aqua along verifiable sheet , neat and clean with less milage because Aqua maintenance is costly.

You have to spend 4 to 5 lacs to buy Aqua. Ager Aqua car kutti hue hoi. If it's batteries and ABS has issues then add 120k more.

In short trips, you don't save much for what you have spent 5 to 6 lacks.

Aqua Rear Seat
It's also made sure that Aqua is spacious for 4 people not 5.

Aqua and Vitz rear seat width is almost same 50 inches. But Aqua seat is raised from middle. Due to this, the adult sitting position gets awkward. A child can sit easily on it. It's a clever trick from Toyota to reduce weight of an adult to get good mileage.

Trunk space is good.

Aqua is discontinued.

The prius c, for the North American market has surely been discontinued. It will be replaced by Corolla hatchback hybrid. You can read the details here. I am not sure about Japan though, where more than a million units have been sold.

The prius c, for the North American

Exactly Prius C has been discontinued in North America only
