Different driver have different driving pattern, route.

Without telling us your typical driving pattern, it is very difficult for others to advice you.

It varies according to your driving habits and route.

 

XT consumes more petrol for sure, averages 2km/L more.

 

But the purchase cost is so much lower than cars with similar power, so the lower purchase price makes up for the higher fuel consumption. Plus the Forester is made in Japan.

 

Fuel consumption for a boxer engine, AWD will drink more without doubt.

 

If fuel consumption is a concern, you should consider a N.A. FWD saloon like the Mazda 6, Nissan Teana, or if u must get a SUV , consider a FWD, N.A. option like the Nissan Qashqai 2.0

As of last Fri, there was a Brown facelift FXT displayed at LK showroom.  As of last Sat, no FXT displayed at TPY showroom.  Test drive wise, the current FXT is available at both locations and SE said there is no difference between the current/facelift model in terms of drivability.  I believe some brothers here also mentioned that the facelift is mainly cosmetic.

Actually it's not true there is no diff. The suspension and steering racks have been redone. For sure can feel a diff. Then the door glass is thicker and you get better insulation

 

And the biggest diff is prob active torque vectoring

FC wise, there is 12 bar representing 60L.. so far left 2 bar after 470 km.. 70% city driving.

If my math dun fail me, that eqates to 9.4km/l
