Why is the Kia Stonic's fuel efficiency lower compared to other crossovers?

I've noticed that the Kia Stonic's fuel efficiency numbers are lower than its competitors in the crossover category. What could be causing this and how can I improve the Stonic's fuel efficiency?

Hi Emma, the Kia Stonic's fuel efficiency is affected by its weight and aerodynamic design. To improve its fuel efficiency, make sure to regularly maintain your car by keeping the tires properly inflated and getting regular oil changes. And when driving, try to avoid quick acceleration and maintain a steady speed.

Hey Emma, the Stonic has a smaller engine compared to other crossovers, which means it needs to work harder to move the car. You can improve its fuel efficiency by making sure to not overload your car and to regularly change your air filter.

Hi Emma, the Stonic also has a higher ride height which can cause more drag and lower fuel efficiency. To improve this, try keeping your car as streamlined as possible, like removing any unnecessary roof racks.
