Does the Hyundai Tucson’s curb weight affect its fuel efficiency on Pakistani roads?

The Hyundai Tucson’s curb weight is around 1,600-1,700 kg depending on the variant. Given the heavy traffic conditions and frequent stop-and-go driving in Pakistan’s cities, how does this weight influence fuel consumption? Do owners notice a significant difference in mileage compared to lighter SUVs o r sedans in similar conditions?

With a curb weight around 1,600-1,700 kg, the Hyundai Tucson is relatively heavy compared to smaller sedans o r compact SUVs. This additional weight tends to reduce fuel efficiency, especially in stop-and-go traffic common in cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. Many users report average fuel consumption of about 8-10 km/l depending on driving style and conditions, which is lower than lighter vehicles. The weight contributes to a stable ride but demands more power and fuel to move. Regular maintenance, smooth driving habits, and avoiding unnecessary load can help improve fuel economy.
