Is the fuel economy of Changan Karvaan lower than expected under real-world Pakistani conditions?

Official claims suggest decent mileage, but many users report high fuel consumption, especially in city driving. Are weight and engine tuning affecting this?

Yes. While official figures suggest 12–14 km/l, real-world users report:

8–10 km/l in cities with AC and full load.

10–12 km/l on highways with moderate loading.

Reasons:

1.0L engine pulling a heavy body with 7 passengers.

Gear ratios tuned for torque, not economy.

Frequent braking, idling, and AC use in traffic.

➡️ The fuel economy is below expectations, especially compared to lighter alternatives.
