Ii ndio msemo sijawai elewa, the car is already economical whether 2WD or 4WD. Sasa how does a 4WD consume more fuel yet it's never engaged full time.

If an Axio 4WD CVT returns almost 18kpl(+-) kwa Highway meaning a 2WD itanipatia 20+ if everything remains constant? Never buying that logic.

In a certain group niliona mtu ako na honda fit 1300cc and the fuel consumption is 10 Km per litre .The owner drives like a maniac , services with poor quality parts and ameweka bigger wheels than the manufacturer recommendation . Alafu ana uliza why fuel consumption iko mbaya .

Its heavier
Tell me more am all ears, Axio the post 2012 "New Shape" has a crumped up engine bay in order to reduce amount of parts in the engine bay so as to reduce weight

Niko na probox oldshape but about 2yrs old (on Kenyan soil)... The car is 4wd and has a huge diff as opposed to rear drive shafts. To be honest it sometimes lags a bit. But consumption ain't much different than the usual 2wds I see on the road. Currently a 6k full tank takes me about 600-650km on long distance drives (Nairobi-Kisii and back)
