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
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.
