    With a heavy kerb weight, bluff shape and relatively short gearing, we didn’t expect the TUV to do wonders in our fuel economy test. However, it returned a decent 11.4kpl in the city, which is partly due to the flexible nature of the engine. The manual version (and surprisingly, not the automatic) gets a special ‘Eco’ mode for the powertrain, and in this mode, the revs are limited to 3,500rpm and throttle response is blunted. While it did impress in the city run, on the highway, the brick-like aerodynamics and shorter gearing meant the TUV returned just 15.58kpl.
