Maruti Suzuki Zen
₹ 3.32 Lakh Onwards
Hi,
I m using maruti zen for last 14 years.I have used zenLX'98 carburetor model, ZenVX 1999 carburetor model, ZenLX 2000 Euro I complaint carburetor with attached valve and right now i am using zen 2001 Vxi mpfi model. I have noted none of the zen models gave me average above 10 or 11 kmpl with airconditioning on in the city and sometimes it drops to even 9 kmpl.
Keeping tyre pressure as per company manual of 24 psi(Will be written on sticker below door lock hook as u open drivers door)and near 14 to 16 kmpl on highways driving around 70 to 80 km/hr. speed continously with ac kept on.. Company guys or outside mechanics will tell u they can increase the average, But they will only retire the delco timings which will effect the pickup directly.Also correcting what the expert mr. shiv shamker has written, 2001 model r mpfi models and not carburetor model in zen. I am sure so please dont waste your time and money after mechanics to increase mileage above 10/11 in city driving and they will ruin your engine in settings and tunnings.
