Old Vs New – Mileage Comparison

Compared to the pre-facelift model, the Taigun shows improvements in the 1L variants, especially the automatic:

What Do These Changes Mean?

The introduction of the new 8-speed torque converter automatic appears to have played a key role in improving the efficiency of the 1L turbo petrol automatic variant. The nearly 1.4kmpl increase over the outgoing model is a substantial gain on paper. The manual variant sees only a marginal improvement, suggesting minimal mechanical changes to the engine itself.

Meanwhile, the 1.5L turbo petrol paired with the 7-speed DCT sees a slight drop in claimed fuel efficiency. This could be due to changes in tuning, added features or increased vehicle weight.

While the claimed figures show an improvement, real-world fuel efficiency is likely to vary significantly. Turbo petrol engines are highly sensitive to driving style, and factors such as hard acceleration, frequent braking and heavy stop-start traffic can cause a noticeable drop in mileage.

In typical driving conditions, buyers can expect:

• City: 9-10kmpl
• Highway: 17-18kmpl
