Returned this mileage under what conditions? Most of the times these mileage figures seem so flimsy …….
November 12th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
The mileage is under standard driving conditions. However under normal driving conditions the mileage will be around 15-16 kmpl.
January 23rd, 2009 at 4:34 pm
Mileage is not under standard condition.ARAI tests it under practical conditions.Start googling……….
April 15th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
hey tell me d correct mileage of astar
April 15th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
Tulsi, A-Star will give you around 16kmpl in the City.
July 25th, 2009 at 11:20 am
I am impressed by the specicifications and 19.6 kmpl fuel consumption during tests. I hope it is as reliable and inexpensive to maintain, as good old ALTO & ESTEEM (now phased out)? Would like to share experience with A-star owners, before buying one.
July 25th, 2009 at 11:24 pm
Dinesh, the A-Star is not only the most fuel efficient car in India but also in many other countries in the world. Its a Maruti and this maintenance is expected to be cheap. Get a test drive and see how the car fits your requirements.
November 1st, 2009 at 9:08 pm
tell me about a stra’s mileage on long route
November 2nd, 2009 at 12:18 am
Sahil, on long route the A-Star will give you close to 20kmpl.
November 18th, 2009 at 8:54 am
I got around 17 km per litre average with full time ac before second service of my maruti astar one thing to remember is am not with so light foot
December 23rd, 2009 at 8:50 pm
Hi tell me the correct mileage of A-star, I bought new astar last week, but it not give sufficient mileage as the dealer says to me. It give only 11 Km/Pl average under normal driving.
December 23rd, 2009 at 11:30 pm
Raj, the A-Star gives around 16-18kmpl in city driving. Your mileage is expected to increase after first service.

A-star experience is really too good. A small car but highly responsive engine, Good pick up, mileage, very good A/C, super power steering with gr8 Handling. I tried this one for a long drive 800 km in 2 days, I didn’t get tiered of it the riding pleasure was gr8.
April 9th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
The worst car i never saw because of the service done by the maruthi service station nellore (barghavi auto) AP
April 26th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
A-star is Really awesome. wonderful pickup,K-Series engine is really a powerful engine.Gear shifting is very very smooth and easy. i have gone upto 100 kmph and felt the car is steady. AC is too good.

either some people are liars or its my bad luck that i got a defective car.my a-star gives only 9kmpl mileage. i feel cheated because mileage was the main reason for me to choose this car.its third servicing is due next week but i know no miracle is going to take place…these are all gimmicks to sell their products.almost all the cars with same cc of engines give same mileage. hah 19kmpl! bakwaas.
May 21st, 2010 at 1:56 am
Asgar, did you get your car checked?
May 22nd, 2010 at 1:52 am
i have been requesting them since long that i am not getting even 12kmpl mileage but i was told to have patience and wait for servicing or let the car run for some more kilometers. it has crossed 9500 and the mileage keeps on decreasing day by day.can any one help me?where should i lodge a complain?these service center guys will never accept the fault,they just know to some how pass the buck on the owner and try to explain that it is we who cannot drive properly.can you imagine 19+ mileage promised by the company and i am getting only 9.
my car number is wb06b1466
May 22nd, 2010 at 3:21 pm
Asgar, you should contact Maruti directly and tell them your problem. They can help.
June 7th, 2010 at 8:05 am
I m planing to buy A-star this weak. so please give me the correct report of a-star about its fuel consumption & its performance. & tell me what to do to do to get more average.

Maruti A Star mileage is 19 kmpl. I am using it for the past 2 years and so far its excellent. There is no engine noise coming inside the cabin. The suspension is superb. The seats give the best support. The braking is splendid and I enjoy driving the car all the time
thanks to maruti for providing a true value for money car, A Star!
June 15th, 2010 at 11:11 am
Dear Frenz,
i too bought a new a star on April 17th 2010, unfortunately i got a defective car, the very next day i took it to the service station due lack of pick up. They found tht the clutch disc is worn out (i’ve coverd only 156 kms on the ODO). They agreed to replace clutch. After the clutch replacement, the clutch pedal has become so hard tht i’ll be having an aching knee after half an hour of city drive. so again i took it to service station (600 kms on the ODO). this time too they replaced the clutch. But after 150 kms of clutch replacement, again there is stiffness in the clutch pedal. Third time i took it to service station, and another clutch replacement (1800 kms on the ODO). I don’t know what these maruti people are doing out there in the factory producing crap products like astar.
i must say one word about the mileage, initially it was 11 kmpl, after first clutch replacement it rose to 14 kmpl, and now with third clutch replacement it returns 18 kmpl (with 80% a/c Highway+city).
any astar owner getting less than 16 kmpl should immediately check their clutch.
One more thing, PLEASE DON”T GO FOR KB Series Engines, Its crap, let it be astar, ritz, blue eye wagon R or new swift. good old alto, m800 and diesel vehicles of MSIL are good.
ALL THE OPINIONS GIVEN ABOVE ARE DERIVED OUT OF MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH MSIL.

Hi guys, its confirmed.. Maruti A Star will come with automatic transmission, now the women folks will fall in love with A Star
August 6th, 2010 at 4:59 pm
I PURCHASED A STAR VXI MODEL ON 12 TH JULY 2010. I AM VERY HAPPY TO OWN THIS CAR. EXCELLENT AC, COMFORT LEVEL, LEG SPACE, ETC. I HAVE COVERED 600KMS UNDER CITY CONDITIONS AT KOLKATA & MY FIRST SERVICE IS DUE. BUT I AM GETTING POOR MILEAGE OF 8.5 KMS PER LITRE.
COULD ANYONE GUIDE ME WHEN I WILL START GETTING GOOD MILEAGE AND AFTER COVERING HOW MANY KMS?
August 18th, 2010 at 8:50 am
Hi every one,
Maruti’s claim of 19 km mileage is misleading!
I get only 13 kms to a litre. I bought this car mainly for the so called fuel efficiency.The dealer has tried many times to solve , and so has the Maruti guy, but they are only good in giving excuses, and are ubale to solve the problem.
The reverse gear too is not very well seated, gets noisy while shifting.
Dear friends when people give tall claims of mileage it is not correct most of the times.Mileage must be checked full tank to full tank and after fuel settles down without air.
Most people talk of mileage based on the fuel needle which is incorrect.
August 19th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
I have purchased Maruti A-Star and its my 1st car. It gives 11 km/l, and when i drive AC is on. So my question is, whether its milage is good or bad?
August 19th, 2010 at 11:23 pm
No it is defintely very bad mileage.
All cars nowadays run on ac almost always.Maruti is fooling the Indian public.From the people.By the People.For the Maruti People!
August 19th, 2010 at 11:55 pm
Dear,
As i’ve already told, I’m getting an average mileage of 16kmpl, some of my frenz say tht i can expect a higher mileage once the car covers 10000…. still i am not astonished to see tht many people get only less than 12kmpl……….
My car’s mileage too drops to 12 or 11 kmpl when some one else is driving it……. it’s the driving style tht matters,
1. Be very gentle with the accelerator pedal, don’t push it hard and hit the floor.THIS IS THE KEY RULE TO MILEAGE.
2. The power delivery of A-star is not so good(i don’t know how to describe it, in the 2nd gear @ 5-10 kmh speed, the car gasps for power and most of the time engine jerks a lot and turns off), naturally it so happens that we will un-necessarily rev up the engine (instead of going to 1st gear)resulting in huge waste of fuel.
3. U must come to the 5th gear only after 45 kmh, and do change to 4th as soon as the speed drops less than 40 kmh.
It is true that the car will run in 5th gear @ less than 40 kmh speeds, but NEVER DO IT because it will result in fuel waste.
4. When u need a quick acceleration (to over take or some thing), try to shutoff the A/c for 45 sec or 1 minute.
5. Suppose u r going @ 50 kmh in 5th gear, and needs a speed of 90 kmh, instead of pushing down the accelerator, change to 4th gear, accelerate to 80kmh or 85kmh and then come to 5th. (i’ve pushed it up to 120 kmh,with AC and 3 persons on-board and even then it returned 14.5 kmpl).
6. When ever u feels an urge to push accelerator to the floor, think about this figure – Rs.55.04/Ltr.
7. AND DO CHECK the clutch assembly and ensure tht it’s delivering the power generated by the engine……………..
Wish u all a very safe & fun filled drive……..
August 19th, 2010 at 11:58 pm
forgot to tell one more thing, All mileage figures are calculated in FULL tank to FULL tank basis…….
August 20th, 2010 at 8:29 pm
Full tank to Full Mileage basis….Good..But when i was getting mileage 180 k.m. per 10 liter…and after 3rd serves I am getting 120 k.m. per 10 liter…….What you say for that?…….
August 21st, 2010 at 3:49 pm
As we see we have a good number of customers who are having problems with A -star.Let me summarize mine :
1) Very poor mileage 13 kms to a litre under very careful driving conditions.
2) Engine gets off sometimes or struggles for air in town traffic in second gear.
3) Reverse gear is now well seated, gets noisy many times when shifting to reverse, or sometimes doesnt fall into reverse at all.
Contrary to Maruti’s claim of high mileage ,(the A-star advt in Kerala says Safarulla of Kochi gets 35 kms to a litre!)this car doesn’t even have normal mileage.
Jago re!Is Maruti fooling us and taking us for granted. We must all give case in the Consumer disputes Forum.Maruti may have the best lawyers to fight their cases but they can’t remove the feeling of being cheated , from our minds.And we will make sure that no other Indian gets fooled any more.
Friends keep blogging until Maruti wakes up to face the realities!
August 22nd, 2010 at 9:45 pm
Realy Maruti people should understand for A-Star..They have to salve out the problem of mileage & vibration.Mr Jophy John is right.We all give case in Consumer disputes Forum..if my problem not sort out I will go to C’mer D’tes Forum.
