Latio 1.5A CVT Premium

[tranceluscious]

Been thinking hard to buy Latio premium. Did my own research on the internet and saw average of 12-15km/l depending on highway and city drive ratio. And also some mentioned they have mod by installing pivot 3, larger rims, etc.

But what i really wanna find out is what's the FC like for a dead stock Latio premium. On paper, it says 14.4km/l. But it's better to hear from the owners.

Hope you guys could help me cause one of the factors of buying Latio is because of it's boot space and the leg space. Plus the other premium stuffs too. Hehe...

Thamks guys

On a serious note......Latio premium serve my family well, interm of space we have enough room for 2 adult and 2 very young kids.....but now with another one it gets smaller, hehehehe that my wife comment cause she has to sit with one car sit and with the elder daughter who is 6 now.... as for fuel with 16" rim i get a average of 11-13km/l only on constant highway with a medium weight on the accelerator then it can get 13-14km/l. the downside is the aircon it now really that tough, we repair on warranty for 2 time and change the coil again recently after warranty, cost around 450 . but overall it a good family car of 2 adult and 2 young kids..... the back suspension is not so good as i fix it with a damperner to get hard abit. my 2 cent comment, but for now i will depart with my baby and getting my jetta soonnnnn

i'm driving a stock Latio premium with 50% highway n 50% city driving. I pump 92RON and i get 13km/litre. Hope this helps.

15km/l is achievable for premium CVT stock.  Mine is 4AT, 15km/l previously on stock.  But 13km/l now.  Due to more heavy footed and upsized to heavy rims.
All depends on your right foot.

Thanks guys! I really appreciate your input. I have a buddy that drives the 4AT model for almost 7years with no major glitch except for the underarm replacement(due to wear and tear) which I dunno what is that. Anyway, the answers you guys gave are helping me shape my decision to get a Latio or not. I'm driving a Subaru impreza 1.5R currently and Latio is way better.

Rather for me, it's an upgrade. And congrats to the guy who is getting the Jetta. You gonna love it!!!

I am on CVT hatchback. FC ranges from 12.5-14. 60% highway, 40% city. But my highway travel involves the frequent morning and evening jams!

previously on stock between 13 to 14. Latio is a family car so.. u get gain some, u lose some.

It's enlightening to hear such feedback about latio CVT. I drive 75% highway and 25% city and that's before the morning rush! And when I end my shift at 2.30pm, road is still ok. So I rarely get caught in jams.

And on top of that, I'm a light-footed driver but still my Subaru gives me 10-11.2km/L. Plus it is underpowered as it is a 2.0L body with a 1.5L engine. So imagine the sluggish affect it has on acceleration. The only consolation is that it handles like a conti car. Cornering is a breeze.

Anyway, I've signed for a latio. 20-month old with 32,000km on the clock. Fully serviced at Tan Choong and still under warranty. And it's a $130 increase in instalments. But I guess the drivability, fuel consumption, bigger boot space, bigger legroom, comfortable seats and many functions, the $130/mth is worthwhile.

Yup for comfort yes and the technology is up to date.....only the for 5 with 2 adult and 3 yound children a bit sqezze. 2 carsit, hmmmm. Overall CVT is good i even go to the extreme in NSH to the end of the meter above 190KM/H.....my  baby ride smooth....... :thumbsup:with 16" rim and dunlop dz101 tyre. Yet to try with my new baby Jetta.

Bro, I also just got my latio premium cvt not long ago, but its an old car, 5 years old. budget. Most of the things quite stock, except tyres I believe, depending on the fuel pumped, can range between 12.5 - 13.5, seldom reach above 14 I believe due to aging and all the other factors.

Sometimes find it very underpower, slow pick up, slow cutting lanes...sighs.

Originally started with Shell 95, then changed to Shell 98, much better, full tank to light come up can hit 480km. Heard Esso 8000 also quite good.
