Thread: Suzuki grand vitara/escudo owners ‘05+

Hey team.
For those that own the above, or have owned the above in the past can you please share with me your fuel stats? My ‘09 escudo is currently doing 8km/L(12L/100km) around town and 9.5km/L (10.5L/100km) open road. These are the dash readings. Going by the odometer I get about 340km around town and about 400km open road per 50L tank. This seems rather high. I get that it’s full time 4wd and quite a heavy vehicle, but it seems to chew through the gas.
The car is unmodified aside from 235/65r17 tyres on new rims.

I didn’t buy this car for the stellar fuel efficiency, but I was hoping a little better than this. Particularly as I plan on putting a lift in and getting slightly bigger tyres.

Cheers!
