The Isuzu KB 300 has an official combined cycle fuel consumption rating of approximately 7.7 liters per 100 kilometers (about 12.9 km/L)[1][3]. In real-world driving, however, owners typically report figures between 8 and 10 liters per 100 kilometers (or 10–12 km/L), depending on driving style, terrain, and whether the vehicle is loaded or towing[2][5].
- According to manufacturer specification sheets, the combined fuel consumption for the KB 300 is between 7.6 and 7.9 L/100 km for different trim and transmission variants[3].
- Several user reports indicate sustained averages around 12 km/L (8.3 L/100 km) in gentle driving scenarios, with harder driving or towing bringing the figure down but rarely below 10 km/L[2].
- Independent tests and reviews often note real-world averages closer to 9.5–10.1 L/100 km in mixed driving conditions[4][5].
- The model is equipped with a fuel tank capacity of 83 liters, with most drivers able to get between 600 and 900 km per tank before the low fuel warning light appears[2].
- Poor fuel efficiency in some units has been attributed to mechanical issues such as a faulty fuel injector pump or problematic injectors[1].
