Hi guys I also have a toyota cross hybrid x but it's showing only 13km/L on its screen I think it's not enough kindly can you tell me why is it not giving me the claimed 20 km average I drive in city only.I just bought it 3 days ago from a dealership I haven't checked its any settings yet.I also don't know anything about The Eco Mode should I enable it to get good fuel average or not

I also think there is an issue with my cars electric battery because when I bought it it had 2 cells and now after a week it still has 2 cells it shows that the car battery is charging but I don't think so is there any way that I can check the battery whether it is working or not by myself ?
Last week I fulled my gas tank(37 Liters) now the tank is almost empty after 470 kilometers driven I think that it is very less for a hybrid car

How long are your typical trips, and are they separated by longer intervals (1-1.5 hours)?

In very warm weather it takes the engine at least 3-4 minutes to warm up to the optimal working temperature; until you are below that optimal temperature, your fuel efficiency will be lower as well. In cold weather it may take a lot longer. The chart below was recorded in February,with ambient temperature around 5oC, after the first 13 minutes of the trip. One "missing" bar at minute 7 is probably waiting at a traffic light.

In any case, I wouldn't worry (yet). Wait until you fill the car up at least two times and record the amount of gas and how many km you have driven.
My typical trips are around 20 minutes long I have drive my car around 470 kilometers
