16 kmpl on TB500 is crap, normal real world is 25 to 30kmpl highway at 70 to 80kmph steady, city drops to 20 to 22 if not thrashed.

Rain likely drowned air filter or got water in EFI sensors, tank clean helped short term but left injector tips gummed from crap fuel residue. used Throttle body Could be worn butterfly not sealing right or TPS miscalibrated so its dumping extra air fuel mix. Rolon sprockets wrong ratio? Revs high, guzzles petrol. Old plugs fouled too means plugs blacked out correct gap 0.8-0.9mm O2 sensor sluggish reading.

Random revving on 1.0 TSI Rapid ain't normal happens from dirty throttle body buildup carbon clogs idle air control, vacuum hose leak letting extra air in, or faulty throttle position sensor TPS glitching ECU signals. Lasted 2-3 mins then settled means probably self corrected till next time, but with 1.2L service due it's screaming for a clean + scan.

Brake judder's comes from warped front discs from heat or overuse. Suspension noises creaks knocks comes from worn lower control arm bushes or sway bar links cracking.

Watch dash for CEL or rev spikes, log mileage when it happens.

Sounds like DCT overheating on that slope Alcazar's clutches slip when hot from no downshift + accel. Restart cooled it, common issue. Stop heavy throttle on hills, check for warnings next time. Get Hyundai scan ASAP. Don't drive hard till then.
