Is the DCT transmission in Alsvin affecting fuel economy negatively?

Some users feel that Alsvin’s DCT is less fuel-efficient in stop-and-go traffic. If you own the 1.5L DCT version, does it consume more fuel compared to expectations?

Yes, in stop-and-go city traffic, the 1.5L DCT is slightly less fuel-efficient than the manual version. The DCT transmission prefers smoother, steady driving, so frequent gear changes in traffic can increase fuel consumption. Users report about 1–2 km/l lower mileage in heavy traffic compared to their expectations.
