Fuel-efficient cars are often the top choice for many Indonesians, especially in big cities like Jakarta, where heavy traffic can significantly increase fuel consumption.
Choosing the right car can help reduce expenses without sacrificing engine performance.
Here are some recommendations for fuel-efficient cars available in Indonesia, their advantages, and comparisons among different options. Check it out!
The first recommendation for a fuel-efficient car is the Honda Brio, a city car that has become quite popular in Indonesia over the past few years.
On highways, Honda Brio’s fuel consumption is impressive, as it can reach 24 km/liter compared to the LCGC regulation standard of 20 km/liter.
Aside from being fuel-efficient, the Honda Brio also offers a spacious and comfortable cabin, as well as a choice between a manual or automatic CVT transmission.
Its affordable price, starting from Rp 170.4 million for the Satya M/T type, is also a strong appeal.
The Suzuki All New Ertiga is also considered a fuel-efficient car, with an average fuel consumption of 10 – 13 km/liter in the city and 18 – 21 km/liter on highways.
This is thanks to its K15 B-coded engine with a capacity of 1.462 cc, 4 cylinders producing 103.2 hp at 6.000 rpm, and peak torque of 138 Nm at 4.400 rpm.
Additionally, this car utilizes a new platform called HEARTECT, which reduces the car’s weight by up to 15%, thereby improving fuel efficiency.
Its market price varies, with used units priced from Rp 100 million to Rp 230 million, while new units are priced between Rp 228.4 million and Rp 262.8 million.
Launched in 2003, the Toyota Avanza has become a household name and a popular choice for those seeking an affordable, fuel-efficient car.
With a tank capacity of 43 liters, the Avanza can travel long distances, achieving an average fuel consumption of approximately 17.6 km/liter.
In the market, used Toyota Avanza units are priced from Rp 127 million to Rp 227 million, while new units range from Rp 233.1 million to Rp 272.5 million.
The Honda All New BR-V is another fuel-efficient option, with fuel consumption reaching 11.7 km/liter in city driving and 14 km/liter on highways.
It also features an eco-indicator, which helps drivers adopt a more efficient driving style.
The Honda All New BR-V is available at prices ranging from Rp 292 million to Rp 385 million, depending on the type and region.
Next are the Daihatsu Sigra and Toyota Calya, both classified as LCGC cars with two engine capacity options, 1000 cc and 1200 cc.
The Toyota Calya can achieve up to 20 km/liter when driving at a constant speed of 100 km/h. At 60 km/h, fuel consumption improves to around 25 km/liter.
In terms of pricing, used Toyota Calya units range from Rp 101 million to Rp 142 million, while new units are priced from Rp 167.6 million to Rp 187.4 million.
So, those are some recommendations for fuel-efficient cars that could be your choice, offering driving efficiency without sacrificing performance. Hopefully, this guide is useful!

As one of the essential components in a car, the battery functions to store electrical energy needed to start the vehicle.
Due to its easy maintenance, many people today prefer using dry batteries compared to wet batteries. Moreover, there are several advantages of using a rechargeable dry battery, such as:
Longer durability compared to conventional batteries, thanks to the technology inside that ensures good electrical performance over a long period.
Easy to maintain compared to conventional batteries, which usually require regular electrolyte refills.
Easy and faster recharging capability.
Environmentally friendly as it can be recharged, reducing the number of discarded batteries and providing efficiency in resource management.
Optimal performance in various conditions, whether in extreme temperatures or for vehicles that are rarely used.
Since it can be recharged, the use of a dry battery also becomes a practical solution for users. However, doing so requires the correct steps and extra caution. So, how do you recharge a dry battery? Check out the following guide!
To ensure proper charging, the first step is to remove the dry battery from the vehicle to avoid potential risks or issues with the car.
To prevent overcharging, it is crucial to choose the type of charger that matches the specifications of the dry battery.
The next step is connecting the dry battery to the charger. Make sure the polarity is correct, then connect the charger’s positive clamp to the positive terminal and the negative clamp to the negative terminal.
With today’s modern technology, charging a dry battery is easier, as most chargers can automatically adjust the settings and the amount of charge needed by the battery.
Ensuring the right location when charging is also crucial. Typically, a well-ventilated area is the best choice.
Also, avoid charging near flames or flammable materials since batteries can produce hydrogen gas, which is highly flammable.
It is important to disconnect the dry battery immediately once charging is finished. Additionally, make sure to follow the charger’s instructions carefully throughout the process.
After charging is complete, the final step is to test the battery to ensure that the electrical capacity and voltage have returned to normal.
So, that’s the discussion regarding whether a dry battery can be recharged, the benefits of using it in vehicles, and the proper steps for recharging it. Hopefully, this guide is helpful!

Tahun baru waktunya menciptakan kebiasaan baru yang lebih sehat. Salah satunya, resolusi untuk lebih sering olahraga. Mungkin sebagian dari Anda tertarik untuk menjadi member dari fitness gym tertentu. Sebagian lagi berjanji untuk rutin lari pagi tiap weekend. Namun, 80% dari resolusi tahun baru ini ditinggalkan begitu memasuki Februari.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention merekomendasikan agar orang dewasa beraktivitas fisik setidaknya 150 menit per minggu. Kenyataannya, hanya sebagian dari kita yang rutin berolahraga. Padahal, kita tahu bahwa berolahraga membawa banyak manfaat. Individu yang aktif bergerak mempunyai imunitas yang lebih kuat, kualitas tidur yang lebih baik, mood yang positif, bahkan lebih awet muda.
Lalu, bagaimana cara agar kita bisa aktif walaupun sibuk bekerja atau malas berolahraga? Triknya adalah membagi 150 menit tersebut di sela-sela kegiatan kita. Selain itu, sehat juga tidak perlu mahal. Tanpa membayar biaya keanggotaan gym, Anda pun bisa sehat!

Dilansir dalam The Jakarta Post, brisk walking direkomendasikan bagi orang-orang yang ingin mulai hidup sehat. Brisk walking adalah jenis latihan berjalan cepat, tetapi tidak secepat berlari. Anda bisa berlatih berjalan 1,5 kilometer dalam 20 menit.
Brisk walking ternyata punya manfaat yang sama dengan berlari, bahkan lebih. Selain lebih mudah dilakukan, resiko terluka saat berolahraga pun lebih kecil. Kita pun bisa melakukan brisk walking dimana saja. Saat mengantar anak ke sekolah, saat jam istirahat kantor, atau pagi hari sebelum beraktivitas. Dengan begitu, Anda bisa mencapai “kuota minimal” berolahraga 2,5 jam tiap minggunya.
Tips yang bisa Anda lakukan untuk mulai hidup sehat tahun ini adalah sebagai berikut.
Sebaiknya, Anda membuat resolusi yang lebih spesifik daripada sekadar menulis ingin mengurangi konsumsi gula atau berolahraga lebih rajin. Anda bisa menyertakan solusi/kegiatan yang akan Anda lakukan untuk mencapai target tersebut. Misalnya, Anda ingin melakukan brisk walking 2 jam tiap minggunya. Lalu, Anda juga akan naik tangga setiap hari di kantor.
Terkadang, melihat sejauh mana progress yang kita lakukan dapat memotivasi diri kita untuk bekerja lebih baik. Misalnya, Anda berjanji untuk berjalan cepat selama 15 menit setelah makan siang. Maka Anda bisa memasang timer dan pencatat jarak untuk melihat sejauh mana Anda sudah berjalan.
Lagi-lagi, memulai kebiasaan baik bisa dimulai dari langkah kecil. Mungkin berolahraga 2,5 jam tiap minggu terdengar berat. Bagaimana dengan memulai bergerak setidaknya 1 jam tiap minggu? Anda bisa me-review kembali target Anda tiap bulannya. Jika target lama bergerak 1 jam/minggu sudah tercapai, perlahan-lahan Anda bisa menambah jam olahraga Anda.
Selamat hidup lebih sehat! Jangan lupa untuk tambahkan proteksi kesehatanmu dengan berbagai pilihan manfaat asuransi Jalan Prima, Perlindungan Kesehatan Prima, HealthPlus Family, dan MyPersonal Protection untuk melindungi Anda dan orang yang Anda sayangi.
Salam,
Sahabat MyProtection
