Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Fuel Consumption | An In-Depth Look

What is the vehicle’s fuel efficiency? – the number one question South Africans ask when researching for a new car. With the constant increase in fuel prices, fuel efficiency has become a key factor for many car buyers. In this in-depth look, we will review the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro’s fuel consumption and discuss what makes it stand out among its competitors.

Fuel Efficiency: What Does It Mean?

Fuel efficiency refers to the measure of how much energy a vehicle needs to travel a certain distance. It is usually measured in kilometres (km) per litre (L) of fuel or litres per 100 kilometres (L/100km).

The lower the number, the more efficient the vehicle is in terms of fuel consumption.

The Importance Of Fuel Efficiency

The fluctuation of fuel prices in South Africa highlights the importance for car buyers to prioritise a vehicle’s fuel efficiency.

According to the Automobile Association of South Africa (AA), the price of Unleaded 95 Petrol in Inland areas rose from R 22.49 to R 23.24 between January 3, 2024, and February 7, 2024, representing a notable increase of R 0.75.

And this is only for one month. Imagine the impact on your budget for the entire year as prices are most likely to continue increasing.

Therefore, it is essential to choose a vehicle with good fuel efficiency to save money on fuel costs in the long run.

What Is The Chery Tiggo 8 Pro's Fuel Consumption?

Below is a detailed breakdown of the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro’s tank size and fuel consumption. We’ll take a look at all 3 models and their trim levels, as well as how much it can cost to fill up the tank.

Fuel Tank Size in litres (L):

• Tiggo 8 Pro: Executive fuel tank = 51L
• Tiggo 8 Pro Max: 2.0T Executive fuel tank = 51L
• Tiggo 8 Pro Max Facelift: 1.6T Executive fuel tank = 51L, 2.0T Executive fuel tank = 51L

Fuel Consumption in L/100km:

• Tiggo 8 Pro: Executive fuel consumption = 7.0L/100km
• Tiggo 8 Pro Max: 2.0T Executive fuel consumption = 7.0L/100km
• Tiggo 8 Pro Max Facelift: 1.6T Executive fuel consumption = 7.2L/100km, 2.0T Executive fuel consumption = 7.6L/100km

A good rule of thumb is to look for a vehicle with a fuel consumption below 8L/100km, and the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro exceeds these expectations, with all models performing within this range.

The average cost to fill a 51L tank (based on AA’s price of R 23.24 for Unleaded 95 Petrol in Inland areas from January 3, 2024, to February 7, 2024) can be calculated as follows: R 23.24 x 51L = R 1185.24 per full tank. Please note that this sum can change based on fuel price fluctuations.

So, is the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro fuel-efficient? 

Yes, it is!

7 Tips On How To Drive Fuel Efficiently

While the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro’s specs and fuel consumption are impressive, it’s essential to note that how you drive also plays a significant role in fuel efficiency.

Here are 7 tips on how to drive more efficiently and reduce your fuel consumption:

1. Drive at a consistent speed: Constantly accelerating and braking use more fuel, so try to maintain a steady pace while driving. Equipped with cruise control and three driving modes, the Tiggo 8 Pro facilitates the maintenance of a consistent speed.
2. Avoid idling: Idling for extended periods wastes fuel, so turn off your engine if you’re going to be parked for more than a minute.
3. Keep your tyres properly inflated: Under-inflated tyres can decrease fuel efficiency by up to 3%, so make sure to check your tyre pressure regularly.
4. Avoid carrying excess weight: The more weight you have in your vehicle, the more fuel it will consume, so try to remove any unnecessary items from your car.
5. Plan your trips in advance:  Avoid peak traffic times and plan your routes to minimise the distance you need to travel. You can use apps like Waze.com or Google Maps to help you find the best routes. The Tiggo 8 Pro has an excellent infotainment system with a 10.25 10.25-inch floating Touch screen, voice control, and Apple Carplay/Andriod Auto, making it easy to navigate and plan your trips.
6. Use windows instead of AC: Air conditioning uses more fuel, so if the weather permits, try opening your windows for ventilation instead. The panoramic sunroof in the Tiggo 8 Pro also provides excellent air circulation and natural light, reducing the need for AC.
7. Take care of your vehicle: Keeping up with regular maintenance, such as oil changes and air filter replacements, can improve overall fuel efficiency.
