I have been driving an Estima Aeras (2008 model, 8 seater) for about 6 years.

 

Fuel consumption wise, I usually clocked 400km (from full tank) before "Empty" sign lights up. I have also used 92 ron pertol with no noticeable performance degradation.

 

My 2008 Estima has a spare tyre. It is stored below the car base, at the middle-right side of car. I have used the spare tyre thrice so far, so I can't be wrong.

 

If I am to change my car now I would still go for an Estima as my family is spoilt by the storage space and flexibilty (it has space for a large golf-bag and a bicycle even when loaded with 8 passenges) it provides. However, I would prefer to wait for the 2015 model.. key reasons being that both exterior styling and engine (2.4l version) are very dated.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Confirm got 2015 model coming out? I also think that the current Estima is quite dated.

Mine it's a 2014 model. After driving for 2 months, it can clock about 8.4km/litre. Full tank its about 500 I think. Of course it depends on the way we drive also.

Agree, but yours can be better.

 

Wife's car averages 10-11 km per Litre for the Premium Aeras July 2013 Estima (lower cc 2.4L, not the powerful V6 3.5).

Full tank at least 550km, sometimes just touch 600km.

All stock.

Mix of highway and urban 50/50.

2015 model out soon? good news...been waiting for it.

if drive like mad (i mean full load, more urban traffic, in a hurry), 520km full tank.

I am really amazed by how people can hit 10-11 km/litre. Haha..

 

I am already very gentle on the pedal but only managed 8.4

In japan, Ody is benchmarked against the Alphard and Elgrand.

 

Looking at the sales, the ody will most probably recapture the MPV market. The reason we see so few on the road is because production cannot match demand in Japan and overseas market. Here in Singapore , the waiting list is close to 4mths even in this high COE environment.

 

No leh. The competing model should be Honda Elysion. If someone buying a super full size MPV will not choose a ODC comparing with Alphard or Elgrand.

No PI wants to bring in the Elysion anymore so the comparison (although not apple to apple) is for each brand's largest MPVs lor...

Larger wheels generally heavier, good to use stock factory wheels.

 

If stock wheels and still high consumption, try to ensure correct tyre pressure, slightly hyperinflated may help to improve handling/reduced fuel consumption (personally pump 35-38 or 265 - 270). Removed unnecessary weight. Replace air filter regularly (quite cheap at spare parts shop and can DIY - abt $25-30).

 

ps: 8km/L is like my previous 3.5 Vellfire, but no complaint as it is v powerful, can out accelerate many cars. And when changed to larger wheels, worst - even drop to 5-6 km/L.....hehe.

[alphard96]

Of course mpv if full load often (7 passengers), definitely fuel consumption will be less than ideal on average.

 

Also, i know there are lots of discussion abt Octane/Ron, but prefer to use one the best eg 98 octane as usually find it smoother for my ride (likely due to enhancement/additives added by petrol company), therefore gives me a better fuel economy, and of course nicer to drive/ride.

My ride is only 2 months old and I would assume when I bought from PI, it all stock.

 

I dont usually carry full load (maybe 3 adult and 2 young kids 5and6yo)

 

My friend who is also driving the same model but 6months ride, could only managed 7.2 "_"||||

You pumped 95 or 98? Your usage involves peak hour travel or daily long queue etc? All these will affect FC very directly.

 

For every ride, there will be some who can clock seemingly unreal FC. But that could definitely be attributed to be due to some factors.

 

I always believe that the weight of car has the most significant effect on FC.

I pump 95 and I always pump half tank to make sure its not "heavy".

 

my wife drive to work daily and its like only 8-10km to her office from home. Apart from lunch to nearby place from her office, then its back home. She usually will not be caught in the jam cause its at west area.

Maybe you want to try using RON 98 for a while to see if it will improve the FC, but of course it is costlier. Also check that the tyres are set to 270psi. I find this setting good for FC too, my 2 previous mpv also at this pressure.

You have mentioned it. Not apple to apple comparison. So if anyone wants a super full size MPV, ODC is out. There is only two choice for that kind of space, it gotta to be Alphard or Elgrand. ODC cannot match unless they are fans of Honda.

FC highly depends on what kind of road condition, red light is no.1 FC killer,

a car especially havey body SUV/MPV from 0km/h to 60km/h FC is 3 times 60km/h constant speed, no matter how gentle on throttle, as long as you have too many pickup from 0km/h, don't expect good FC.

Actually I've not seen the interior of the Elysion but only the roads... The engine capacity (3.0L not the 2.4L) is enough to scare away the quite a bit of people looking for a full size MPV... Even you don't see much of the 3.5L Vellfires and Elgrands on the road...

Eh what happen to your endless walking avatar... Make it walk back back to MCF please...

 

Whatever car here in Singapore as long as its urban driving the FC won't be ideal... My current route is almost 90% urban so now running below 9km/L... Perhaps a light foot would just make your FC slightly better compared to those who like to cheong from traffic light to traffic light ...

Agree !

 

Yesterday just top up full tank Estima, on board range then indicated 577km.

Tyre pressure 270.

imo, 8-10km is a bit short to b fuel efficient, n the short distance to lunch make it worse.
