Do Pakistani Road Conditions Affect the Hyundai Sonata’s Highway Fuel Efficiency?

While the Sonata can reach 12–14 km/l on highways under ideal conditions, drivers in Pakistan often face inconsistent road surfaces, elevation changes, and frequent braking. How much do these factors affect fuel efficiency in real-world highway driving?

While the Sonatas highway fuel efficiency is reported to be around 13 km/l, Pakistani road conditions can impact this figure:

Road Quality: Uneven o r poorly maintained roads can lead to increased fuel consumption due to the need for frequent acceleration and deceleration.

Driving Speed: Maintaining higher speeds on highways can improve fuel efficiency, but excessive speeds may lead to increased fuel consumption.

Weather Conditions: Hot weather can affect engine performance and air conditioning efficiency, potentially reducing fuel economy.

Owners have noted that driving at moderate speeds and maintaining proper tire pressure can help achieve optimal highway fuel efficiency.
