Exceptional Mileage of 25.8 KMs on highway btw Hyd to blre

Hi All,

This is an initial ownership report for diesel version.

My caar has already drove 6000+ kms during my 4 months ownership.

So, for quite longtime I am planning to replace my lovely baby ACCent CRDi which has run 1,50,000 kms on ODO. Which is very good sedan for highways. Only car suspensions became so weak other than that every thing is perfect with the car. But I am worried with the engine, becoming older and scarred to go long journeys fearing  of engine breakdown😉.So decided to sell my old accent car to  buy a new caar. I took the car delivery in Lucky nissan,vijayawada and sadly did not received any single free goodies.Dealer also has charged 6000 rs  as handling charges.

1St Long Journey: The day after receiving my caar,we embarked to travel to Bellary. Total five people with my 2 months old baby with luggage of 90+ kgs in boot. after reaching my destination, I checked my mileage using full tank method and found to be 21+ km/liter. I have not noticed the average fuel indicator of my drive computer.not aware of it as it new to explore all. In this trip, I have not crossed 90 kms and half of the roads are not 4 lane mixed  with bad roads.And sadly my 2 days old caar has broken his rear view driver side mirror (not the complete set only the mirror inside got broken) . I am travelling at 80+ kms speed on a rural village road and suddenly from my right side a mob of crashing buffalos rushed towards my car through a small bushy road.I hve applied sudden brakes and bufalo crashed my rear view mirror , due to this crash mirror inside the set got loose and fell over the road and broken to pieces. The rear view mirrors are just hooked into the set and they are very delicate too.

2nd Long Journey:This time I traveled with my wife and baby from Blore to Vijayawada. maintained proper tyre pressure and maintained speeds of 100 kms /hr. once after reaching my destination my driver computer is showing 29.1 km/lit.  I am so surprised and got my tank filled and found to be nearly 26 kms/liter 😎 whhich is really a fantastic mileage figure.

one of trip from Hyd - Blore recently, I have got a mileage of 23.8 km/liter with me and wife+baby and boot of 50+ kgs.And drive computer showing me 28.9 km/liter. Drive computer seems to be largely varies with reality when car is fully loaded and boot contains heavy luggage.

I am really happy with the mileage I am getting in city and highways.

City driving: Sunny is very easy to drive in city and highways. You would have a bird view like sight when sitting in driver seat.No turbo lag, even at 25 kms speed you can drive in 3rd gear. I used to get 17 -18 km/liter in blore city driving.

Major problem of this car is  GC is very less when driving on bad roads and big bumps. My sunny has scrapped many times n blore city when car is fully loaded and boot containing airport lugguage of 90+ kgs. please follow the tyre pressure guidelines near to your driver seat. earlier I did not followed and later after following it, feeling better now. Rest I do not see any major issues and it all depends on how you feel it.

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Lots of space inside comared to my accent CRdi, feels very luxurious driving a long sedan. but long car comes with a disguise that parking becomes difficult and should be careful going in to narrow streets in corners.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent mileage in city and higways. easy to drive in city and highways. no turbo lag. It is ready to take a high gear on less speed. I feel uncomfortable with 2nd gear all the time, bit jerky in this gear. I have not crossed 100+km speed, Do not know how it behaves after that 😝 Accent crdi gear rod is ver small compared to sunny one.

Ride Quality & Handling Feels good and can take small bumps easily and suspensipns/tyres did not crash on rural roads with small pothole bumps. Soft suspenssion becomes saggy when fully loaded and need to be careful when taking on biggggg blore bumps.

Final Words It is a practical car for driving both in city/higways. very good mileage and found to be less maintainence. More service centers to be located in and around the tier 1 cities.

Areas of improvement NA.

Satya.
