Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Fuel Consumption | An In-Depth Look

A vehicle’s fuel consumption impacts our wallets over time. For many South African consumers, fuel efficiency is a top concern when buying a car. In this in-depth guide, we will review the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro’s fuel consumption and determine whether your wallet will be happy or not.

What Does It Mean When A Vehicle Is Fuel Efficient?

To truly understand the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro’s fuel consumption, you first need to understand what makes a vehicle fuel-efficient.

For a vehicle to be classified as fuel-efficient, it needs to have a fuel consumption number below 8L/100km. 

This means that for every 100km driven, the vehicle will consume less than 8 litres of fuel. 

However, this number can vary depending on factors such as driving habits, where you live, and road conditions. 

What Is The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro's Fuel Consumption?

Below, we will share the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro’s fuel consumption numbers based on the two models, their trim levels, and tank sizes.

The two models are the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro and the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Max Facelift. Each has its own set of specs and features that may impact fuel consumption.

Fuel Consumption in L/100km:

• Tiggo 7 Pro Distinctive: 6.8L/100km
• Tiggo 7 Pro Executive: 6.8L/100km
• Tiggo 7 Pro Max Facelift 1.6GDI 7DCT Distinction 2WD: 7.0L/100km
• Tiggo 7 Pro Max Facelift 1.6GDI 7DCT Executive 2WD: 7.0L/100km
• Tiggo 7 Pro Max Facelift 1.6GDI 7DCT Executive 4WD: 7.8L/100km

Fuel Tank Sizes in litres (L)

• Tiggo 7 Pro Distinctive: 51L
• Tiggo 7 Pro Executive: 51L
• Tiggo 7 Pro Max Facelift 1.6GDI 7DCT Distinction 2WD: 51L
• Tiggo 7 Pro Max Facelift 1.6GDI 7DCT Executive 2WD: 51L
• Tiggo 7 Pro Max Facelift 1.6GDI 7DCT Executive 4WD: 57L

As you can see, all the models and their respective trim levels comply with the standard fuel consumption below 8L/100km, making them all fuel-efficient vehicles.

How Much Will It Cost To Fill Up The Tank?

To fill up the tank of the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, you first need to select which model and trim level you have.

Then, based on your local fuel prices, you can calculate the cost of filling up the tank.

Let’s give you an example:

According to the Automobile Association of South Africa (AA), the price for Inland Petrol Unleaded 95 on April 3, 2024, is set at R25.12 per litre. (Please note this number changes as the price of petrol fluctuates in the country.) 

For the Tiggo 7 Pro Distinctive model, which has a tank capacity of 51L, you can make this calculation:

R25.12 x 51L = R1281.12

Therefore, it will cost approximately R1281.12 to fill up the tank of the Tiggo 7 Pro Distinctive model in South Africa during the specified time period.

It’s important to note that fuel prices may vary depending on your location and current market conditions. It’s always recommended to check with your local petrol station for the most accurate and up-to-date fuel prices. 

Why Is Fuel Efficiency Important In A Vehicle?

In South Africa, fuel prices constantly fluctuate and can be quite expensive. This is why having a fuel-efficient vehicle like the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro is important for many drivers.

According to the Automobile Association of South Africa (AA), the price of Inland Petrol Unleaded 95 rose from R24.45 to R25.12 between March 6, 2024, and April 3, 2023. 

This represents an increase of R0.67. 

While this may seem minor at first glance, these costs are likely to continue increasing this year. 

To make yourself and your wallet happy, a fuel-efficient vehicle is the way to go.

How To Change Your Driving Habits To Improve Fuel Efficiency

A vehicle’s fuel efficiency not only depends on the model but also on how you drive.

Here are some tips to help improve your fuel efficiency and save money at the pump.

Maintain a steady speed: The speed at which you drive and accelerate plays a role in your fuel efficiency. Luckily, the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro offers an ECO driving mode and steering wheel shifters that can help.

Avoid unnecessary idling: Idling your vehicle for long periods wastes fuel. If you know you will be parked for more than a minute, it’s better to turn off your engine and restart it when you’re ready to drive again.

Plan your trips: Avoid peak traffic times and plan your route to avoid unnecessary detours. This will not only save you time but also reduce your fuel consumption. The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro comes equipped with an infotainment system with a 10.25-inch touchscreen, making navigation and route planning easier than ever.

Cruise Control where you can: Cruise control adaptively maintains the speed of your vehicle, helping you save fuel by avoiding unnecessary acceleration and deceleration. All Tiggo 7 Pro models have cruise control for your convenience.

Keep your vehicle well-maintained: Regular maintenance, such as oil changes, tyre rotations, and air filter replacements, can improve your vehicle’s fuel efficiency. 

Regularly check tyre pressure: Under-inflated tyres can cause your car to use more fuel. Make sure your tyres are inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended levels to maximise fuel efficiency. 

Use air conditioning wisely: While it’s often necessary, air conditioning can consume a considerable amount of fuel. Use it sparingly and consider other cooling methods, such as opening the windows or panoramic sunroof.

Lighten your load: Carrying unnecessary weight increases fuel consumption. Regularly clean out your car and remove non-essential items from the trunk or back seat. The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro’s spacious design allows you to carry what you need without overburdening your vehicle.
