The Mitsubishi Colt 2.8 TDI typically averages a fuel consumption of 11.5–12.5 liters per 100 km. Variations depend on model—such as Double Cab (D/C) versus Club Cab—and tire size, with D/C models usually at the higher end of this range[1].
This engine utilizes indirect injection, making it smoother and quieter compared to direct injection engines in competitors like the Isuzu 2.8 TDI, but resulting in slightly higher fuel consumption[1].
Factors such as vehicle load, tire selection, and driving conditions can further influence real-world consumption. For example, the Club Cab uses 245/75R15 tires, while the Double Cab uses larger 265/75R15 tires, contributing to increased fuel use in the latter[1].
