Why is my Hyundai Oshan X7 giving lower mileage in city driving despite being a new vehicle?

Even though my Oshan X7 is relatively new, I’m only getting around 7–8 km/l in city traffic like Karachi o r Lahore. I drive normally and maintain tire pressure. Is this normal for the 1.5L turbo engine, o r could something be wrong?

Its common for turbocharged SUVs like the Oshan X7 to return lower mileage 7–9 km/l in congested Pakistani cities. Several factors contribute:

The 1.5L turbo engine consumes more fuel under stop-start conditions.

The vehicles weight and size mean more fuel is used in city traffic.

AC use, idling in traffic, and short trips all worsen fuel economy.

What you can do:

Maintain correct tire pressure check weekly.

Minimize idling and avoid aggressive acceleration.

Ensure regular oil changes using the manufacturer-recommended grade.
