Yes, I’ve heard that the Hilux Revo has improved fuel efficiency compared to the older Vigo models, thanks to updates in engine technology, aerodynamics, and weight reduction.

In real-world conditions, the Revo does tend to provide better mileage, especially in city driving. The newer model comes with advanced fuel injection systems, improved turbocharging, and a more efficient 2.8L diesel engine that delivers more torque while consuming less fuel. I’ve read that the Revo’s 6-speed automatic transmission also contributes to smoother shifting, helping optimize fuel economy.

The Vigo, on the other hand, while still a reliable truck, doesn’t quite match the Revo in terms of fuel efficiency, especially in stop-and-go city traffic. The older 2.5L diesel engine in the Vigo is a bit more basic, and its manual transmission isn’t as optimized for fuel economy as the Revos setup. That said, the Vigo still holds its own on long trips, but its generally less efficient compared to the newer Revo.

In practical terms, I’ve heard from owners that the Revo typically achieves about 10-12 km/l in mixed driving conditions, whereas the Vigo might return closer to 8-10 km/l, depending on load and driving style. Of course, this can vary depending on factors like road conditions, maintenance, and driving habits.

Have you driven both models, o r are you considering upgrading from the Vigo to the Revo?
