The problem with the G13 is it's mounted longitudinally with a crappy drivetrain.

Even with the bigger G16, fuel economy sucks for those Suzuki-style vans.

The economy drag of front-engine RWD and associated hardware becomes proportionately worse the smaller the engine gets.

That said, I've driven small diesel Suzuki Carry vans that get 30 km/l. I'm betting they'd get much better, however, if they were FWD.
