Is the fuel average of the Oshan X7 really this bad in city driving?

I was expecting better mileage from a 1.5 turbo engine, but I’m barely getting 7–8 km/l in city traffic Karachi/Lahore. Even with careful driving, there’s not much improvement. Is this normal, o r could there be an issue with the ECU o r turbo system?

Unfortunately, many Oshan X7 owners in cities like Lahore, Islamabad, and Karachi report poor city fuel efficiency — around 7–9 km/l, despite the 1.5L turbo engine.

Why this happens:

Heavy curb weight: The Oshan X7 is relatively heavy for a 5-seater crossover.

Turbo tuning: It’s tuned more for performance and responsiveness than economy.

Traffic conditions: Stop-and-go traffic kills mileage, and the 7-speed DCT transmission isn’t as efficient at low speeds.

Tips to improve mileage:

Use light-foot driving and keep RPM below 2,000.

Avoid frequent short trips.

Use good quality fuel RON 92+ if possible.

Maintain tire pressure and get regular tuning.

Highway mileage 12–14 km/l is generally much better, showing the issue is mostly with urban driving.
