Perodua Ativa Fuel Economy Malaysia
Ativa 1.0T city: 9–12 L/100km; highway: 6.5–8.5 L/100km. Best of small turbos in Malaysia. ECO mode. Avoid aggressive acceleration from stop — turbo lag and CVT combination punishes fuel economy.
Ativa Fuel Economy Tips
- RON 97 recommended for best performance — RON 95 minimum but fuel economy may suffer slightly
- Avoid frequent hard acceleration — turbo boost is fun but fuel-hungry
- ECO mode: use in city traffic — reduces throttle response and turbo boost for efficiency
- Maintain correct tyre pressure — under-inflation reduces fuel economy
