For the first 32 km we achieved an astonishing figure of 20,8 kmpl which is good for city run. This mileage run is a mix of both city and open roads but we keep 75% to city and the rest towards the open roads. We did this distance in 1 hour and 4 minutes.
Since the XL6 comes with a start/stop system, we saved 31 ml of fuel in this 32 km journey. The display also shows the total ideal time we stopped at that was 4 minutes and 14 seconds. This is generally great information for the typical owner.

After completing the 110 km mark, the figure displayed 20.6 kmpl which is great in terms of city and open roads. The average time for this 112 km was three hours and 14 minutes which is good. We were driving the XL6 with a light right foot.
