Original Data

500+ Owner Reports

Based on our survey of GLA owners across 12 major Indian cities, the most common real-world mileage reported is 14 - 16 kmpl for mixed driving conditions. Owners report that AC usage in summer drops the efficiency by approximately 1.5 to 2 kmpl in stop-and-go traffic.

Expert Verdict on EfficiencyWhile the ARAI claimed figure of 17.4 kmpl is achieved under controlled test conditions, the GLA delivers respectable real-world numbers. To maximize efficiency, experts recommend upshifting early (around 2000 RPM) and maintaining a steady 80 kmph on highways.
