The Chevrolet Utility, a compact pickup popular in certain markets, delivers real-world fuel consumption figures that vary by model year and engine size. Based on extensive owner-reported data, here’s a summary of observed average MPG (miles per gallon) for recent model years:
- 2012: 27.2 MPG (6 vehicles, 133,370 miles tracked)[1]
- 2013: 25.8 MPG (14–17 vehicles, 233,654–234,192 miles tracked)[1][2]
- 2014: 24.9 MPG (5 vehicles, 19,367 miles tracked)[1]
The Utility was offered with both 1.4-litre and 1.8-litre petrol engines, with official figures suggesting an average fuel consumption of around 7.2 litres per 100 km for both engines[8]. However, some owners have reported differences in consumption between the 1.4 and 1.8 variants, with the smaller engine generally expected to be slightly more efficient, though detailed direct comparisons are limited[7].
For context, these figures place the Chevrolet Utility among reasonably fuel-efficient compact pickups, though not as efficient as the latest Chevrolet small SUVs like the Trax or Trailblazer, which offer significantly higher EPA estimates[4][6].
