What is the fuel consumption of the Toyota Avanza 1.5 2015?

The Toyota Avanza 1.5 from 2015 typically achieves about 9–12 km per liter in mixed driving (roughly 8–11 L/100 km). Actual figures vary by market, transmission type, and driving conditions.


To understand these numbers, it helps to know how fuel economy is measured, what drivetrain the car has, and how real-world factors affect performance. This article lays out typical ranges and the variables that influence them across markets where the model was sold.


What affects the fuel economy of the Avanza 1.5


fuel economy depends on transmission, driving style, maintenance, load, climate control use, and the local test cycle used for ratings. The same car can show noticeably different results in city traffic versus steady highway cruising.


Below is a practical breakdown by transmission that reflects common ranges reported by users and regional test data.



  • Manual transmission (5-speed)

    • City driving: 9–11 km/L (about 9–11 L/100 km)

    • Highway driving: 13–15 km/L (about 6.7–7.7 L/100 km)

    • Combined: 11–13 km/L (about 7.7–9.1 L/100 km)



  • Automatic transmission (4-speed)

    • City driving: 8–10 km/L (about 10–12.5 L/100 km)

    • Highway driving: 12–14 km/L (about 7.1–8.3 L/100 km)

    • Combined: 10–12 km/L (about 8.3–10 L/100 km)




These figures are intended as rough guidance. For precise numbers, consult the specific market brochure, owner’s manual, or a measured personal fuel-economy test under your usual driving conditions.


Regional context and market variations


Indonesia and Southeast Asia


In Indonesia and neighboring Southeast Asian markets, the Avanza 1.5 commonly shows similar ranges to the figures above, with differences arising mainly from transmission choice (manual vs automatic) and local test conventions. Real-world results are often shaped by heavy urban traffic, air conditioning use, and load from passengers or cargo.



  • Manual transmission: City 9–11 km/L; Highway 13–15 km/L; Combined 11–13 km/L

  • Automatic transmission: City 8–10 km/L; Highway 12–14 km/L; Combined 10–12 km/L


Market-specific numbers can vary, so always refer to the official local specification sheet for your exact variant and year.


Tips to maximize fuel economy



  • Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure to reduce rolling resistance.

  • Avoid excessive idling and use air conditioning judiciously; on highways, drive with windows up when possible to reduce drag.

  • Plan trips to reduce stop-and-go driving and maintain steady speeds.

  • Perform routine maintenance (air filters, spark plugs, oil type) as recommended to keep the engine running efficiently.


Implementing these practices can help you approach the lower end of the typical ranges outlined above, regardless of market.


Summary


The 2015 Toyota Avanza 1.5 generally delivers about 9–12 km/L in mixed conditions, with manual transmissions tending toward the higher end of the range and automatics toward the lower. Highway figures are typically better than city figures, and real-world results will depend on market-specific test cycles, maintenance, and driving habits. For the most accurate numbers, check the official regional specifications for your exact model and consult owner feedback from your area.
