Without being felt, the circulation of the Kijang Innova has entered its eighth year since its first appearance in 2004. In 2012, Toyota is reportedly going to launch a sixth-generation Toyota changed the overall design.

But the Innova which is the fifth generation Toyota recently suffered facial improvement. We are also interested in knowing the performance of the most expensive version, namely 2.0 V Luxury automatic transmission.

Change on the front cover lights, fenders, grille, and bumper, which is quite helpful view. Lamp model is now more modern, and classy. While in the interior, Toyota also put a refresher on the center dash console, audio system, the shape of the instrument, the color of the seat and steering wheel model.

In type V Luxury, the same as before, the middle seat consists of 2 pieces captain seat with a TV screen attached to the ceiling. At least even up the Kijang, you can feel the individuality and MPV-style features on board.

The chair of this type makes the practicality of folding is more restricted than standard models, but no problem because the back of the Kijang are still able to carry quite a lot of stuff.

The new model's audio system is not yet integrated with the dashboard. But the fun when we see how the software in the audio system have been made specifically for the Kijang.

For example, when the lights first time, will show pictures of the car on the touch screen. There is also a menu relating to ownership of Kijang in situ, such as maintenance schedules, info authorized workshops, as well as a telephone hotline. Frequency settings, and for this variant V loudness can also be done via the buttons on the steering wheel.

With the price of nearly $ 300 million, clearly faced an opponent who must Kijang is the Nissan Serena. And variance V Luxury Toyota is prepared for those who want to enjoy more comfort in the rear. But dings on a bumpy road a bit stiff when compared to Nissan, as well as the available legroom is more narrow.

In terms of engine and transmission, Toyota did not change at all. Meaning that acceleration is still similar to the previous figure that is 14.3 seconds for 0-100 km / hour. Quite slow, but this car is not created for high performance. As for fuel consumption problem, the Grand New Kijang Innova is recorded 10.2 km / liter for the combination route, and 8.5 km / liter in the city.

Of course, speaking Kijang charm is inseparable from that of the first is the main reason people buy, namely its ability to withstand the resale price. And we feel no different in this new type.

10 fuel-saving driving tips

Here are 10 fuel-saving driving tips

1. Keep the engine speed
Average gasoline engine works optimally in the run 2500-3500 rpm - maximum torque is the place. Set the gearshift to the spin machine was in that figure. Too high will lead to wasted fuel quickly, being too low causes the loss of engine torque and needs stamping on the gas when they wanted to add speed. Most economical if you drove at a constant rpm with the highest gear.

2. Avoid excessive acceleration and braking
In principle, if we put the brakes on the engine power will be needed again to restore the original speed. Therefore, taking into account the conditions in front of you and try to go sekonstan possible.

3. Keep your tire pressure
Reduced tire pressure will result in increased car barriers. Make sure the pressure according to manufacturer's recommendations and Increment 2-3 psi when loaded with the burden of going to a lot or driving on the highway.

4. Use engine braking
Special injection car, engine braking to make efficient when braking. Because when the engine braking takes place, the computer will cut fuel flow to the engine.

5. Make sure the machine excellent condition
Useless to drive efficient, if the engine is not perfect. Test to determine the level of perfection combustion emissions. If necessary, improve the combustion performance by adopting better ignition system. Do not forget, setting the ignition timing is too backward also wastes fuel.

6. Make sure the brakes are correct gap
If the gap between the discs and brake pads are too attached, then the wheels will be hampered. Symptoms, the car feels a bit restrained. Perform adjustments in the official workshop to get the proper gap.

7. Avoid the traffic
When the car stops, fuel consumption when it is 0 km / l. The more you avoid congestion points, the better the fuel consumption are obtained.

8. Get a precision pump
Very often people consider extravagant car, but this calculation is only due to the filling fuel at the pump is not accurate. As a result, seem more filled with gasoline.

9. Turn off air conditioning if it is not necessary
AC compressor to give significant weight to the machine. Turn it off if the outside of the cabin atmosphere was cool.

10. Keep stamping on the accelerator
If you want to add speed, Step on the gas with a gentle and progressive. Tread too deeply will make fuel out excessively.


Myth In Frugality

Myth: The more slowly walk means more efficient
Fact: Wrong! Precisely if too slowly, the car did not have a big enough moment to defend at its own pace. The most ideal driving 80-120 km / h in top gear.

Myth: The following buses or trucks to save fuel
Fact: True, but dangerous! Large car trailed indeed reduce wind resistance. But the benefits are not worth the risk to be taken, can even be fatal.

Myth: Neutralize the transmission during deceleration to save fuel
Fact: Wrong, if your car is an injection. When neutral, meaning the engine takes gasoline to keep them alive. Engine braking is even more efficient, because hardly any petrol supplied to the machine being played by the wheels.
