How I extracted 19 km/l real-world mileage from my Innova Hycross

The driving style makes a lot of difference in this hybrid vehicle.

BHPian Paritoshkalra recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Yesterday, I got an overall average of 18.9 km/l on my drive from Delhi to Punjab. I covered 525 kms from a specific petrol pump (to and fro). I noticed the same average of 18.9 km/l by using the tank-to-tank method and I had filled normal petrol from Indian Oil in this car. The car was fully loaded with 6 people onboard and the boot was also completely full.

I remember, last month I went on the same route, and I got a mileage of 14.5 km/l via the same vehicle while this time we got around 19 km/l. Driving style makes a lot of difference in this Hybrid vehicle.

This was my 4th long drive on my Hycross and I learnt a lot of things about this hybrid vehicle in this specific trip.

1. Driving a hybrid vehicle is different from driving any other automatic car. Remember, this car is super silent and wants its drivers to be gentle and smooth towards their driving styles.
2. You should use CITY drive mode while you are driving in the city. I have noticed that City drive mode gives better drivability, power and a better average in the city.
3. Eco Driving mode gives a better average on a highway while cruising at high and constant speeds.
4. Use Cruise Control on a highway: The more you learn to use the Cruise Control, the more average you are going to extract from this vehicle.
5. Gently press the Accelerator: There is ample power on offer with very little press of the accelerator. This car appreciates if the driver gives it ample time to rush. Slow pressing of the Accelerator does the job. This car responds quickly.

The moment you do that, you will realize that your car gives you an ample amount of luxury, great overall mileage, a comfortable ride and a nice command on a highway.
