Loyal friends of Daihatsu fans, there is good news because recently Daihatsu launched the latest Daihatsu Terios product with the addition of various features that are even more impressive and cool. One of them is a feature that can help you save fuel consumption while driving. Interested in reading more about what makes the latest Daihatsu Terios fuel-efficient?
Daihatsu Terios Fuel-Efficient Because of New Features
The latest release of the Daihatsu Terios is fuel-efficient because it has a new feature called Eco Idle. The main task of this feature is to ensure that the fuel consumption in the Terios engine is more economical and the exhaust emissions it produces are also reduced.
You can see the application of this feature when the engine automatically turns off when the car is stationary or idle, for example when you are stopped at a red light or when the road is congested. This Eco Idle feature makes the Daihatsu Terios worthy of being called the latest environmentally friendly car. This feature can be activated or deactivated according to your needs.
When active, this Eco Idle feature can save fuel by up to 5-10%. This means that if used for city travel, the fuel consumption of the Daihatsu Terios can reach 13 kilometers per liter. This can certainly be very beneficial in helping you save on fuel expenses.
Practical Eco Idle Feature Makes Daihatsu Terios Fuel-Efficient and Comfortable
When learning about the Eco Idle feature that automatically turns off the engine, you may have concerns about several things, such as what happens if the road is congested, what if the car is stopped on a slope, and what if the car's AC turns off and the passengers get hot inside?
We will try to answer your concerns one by one.
First, the latest Daihatsu Terios has undergone testing in several major cities in Indonesia known for their traffic jams, such as Jakarta, Bandung, and Surabaya. All tests showed that the Eco Idle feature works well and can save fuel consumption.
To activate this feature, the Terios must be stationary at a speed of 0 km/h with the brake engaged and the shift in Drive position.
Next, what happens when the car is on a slope? When on a slope, the Eco Idle feature will continue to work up to a maximum slope of 5 degrees. So you don't need to worry about the car rolling backward.
Finally, you don't need to worry about getting hot when the engine is off. This is because the AC or blower will continue to function even when the engine is off as long as the cabin temperature is below the minimum specified temperature. This fuel-efficient Daihatsu Terios is equipped with a sensor that will maintain the cabin temperature.
Other Features That Make Daihatsu Terios Fuel-Efficient
In addition to the new Eco Idle feature that makes the Daihatsu Terios fuel-efficient, there are also other features that make your driving experience with the Daihatsu Terios safer and more comfortable.
Another new feature you can find is VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) and HSA (Hill Start Assist). The VSC feature makes the vehicle safer when turning, and the HSA feature makes the car more stable when driving on slopes.
The latest Daihatsu Terios comes in 9 different variants, ranging from the X MT variant to the R AT Custom variant. You can get this latest fuel-efficient Daihatsu Terios starting at 200 million rupiah.
