This engine is an atkinson cycle turbo , a rare find, if you hit the gas hard it downshifts causing the engine to lug. it is in too low of a gear . that is not how you drive a turbo. Lightly give gas to get to gear 2 and then give it gas and it blows away the old six, which i just turned in . let the revs go to just below 1500 and turbo waste gate opens ( full air flow )and atkinson cycle engages and i can get 30 to 40 mpg easy ,especially beloe 40mph . Also at 65mph not 70 hit cruise control and an easy 35+ mpg once the revs drop to atkinson cycle. If you drive correctly and use atkinson cycle correctly you can get great gas mileage and power. I had to sell my new 2024 honda crv hybrid because it was the loudest road and tire noise of any suv i ever had , no insulation i checked.. you are driving a lexus basically and it has the same insulation as lexus check the under body. I dont need 20 inch bumpy wheels 18in with high aspect rubber is great ride.The trick is to use cruise control more often this drops engine off turbo and into atkinson cycle. I dont need 3rd row ,perfect car for me i have had 5 in a row every 3 years leased.
