[Fuel consumption test after having a car] Chery Tiggo 7 PRO is a replacement product brought by Chery after four years of accumulating power. The purpose is to seize the highly competitive compact SUV market. After actual measurement, the acceleration time of Tiggo 7 PRO from 100 kilometers is 8.72s, and the braking distance is only 37.08m. The performance is quite good. Of course, if you want to become a popular domestic SUV, it is not enough to "run fast and stop braking", and "saving fuel or not" is also the most concern of many household consumers. The actual test shows the real chapter. Today we will test the fuel consumption performance of Tiggo 7 PRO to see if it can achieve "fast and economical".
Test preparation
Before starting the test, check the tire pressure first. The tire pressure of all four wheels reaches 2.4bar.
Regarding the air volume of the air conditioner, the air volume of the air conditioner is unified at 22°C and controlled by 2 grids, with external circulation mode.
Then at the gas station, use the fuel gun to slowly shift the fuel until the automatic gun jumps. The Tiggo 7 PRO is filled with 92# gasoline.
Switch the driving mode to the economy mode, clear the average fuel consumption, sub-meter mileage, and start the test!
Test location
The route to test fuel consumption is to choose the 7 laps of Guangzhou University Town Outer Ring Road, each lap is 15 kilometers, and the total test mileage is about 105 kilometers. The outer ring of the University Town is all asphalt roads, with 16 traffic lights and a speed limit of 60km/h, which basically simulates daily driving conditions.
Test process
The speed limit of the university city is 60km/h. During the whole test process, we will try our best to increase it as far as possible without breaking the rules. Drive at a high speed, adopt the habit of daily driving, not coasting in neutral gear, nor driving in drag gear, and try to restore daily car habits as much as possible.
Tiggo 7 PRO’s 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox is very active in upshifting in economic mode. When cruising at a constant speed of 60km/h, the engine speed is only about 1200 rpm, a lower engine Speed is conducive to fuel saving, but the final result still depends on fuel consumption.
Test result
After 7 laps of the outer loop, the vehicle dashboard showed a total of 103.1 kilometers, and the average fuel consumption of the vehicle was 6.7L/100km.
Then we returned to the same gas station and used the same fuel gun to refuel in slow gear until it automatically jumped.
The tanker shows that 7.04L of gasoline has been added. The total fuel cost is 44.63 yuan. Let’s calculate its actual fuel consumption: Tiggo 7 PRO shows a mileage of 103.1km, and the actual fuel volume is 7.04 L, so using 7.04÷103.1×100, the calculated average fuel consumption is 6.8L/100km.
Tiggo 7 PRO's measured fuel consumption performance of 6.8L/100km is worthy of recognition, and it belongs to the upper-middle level in the same class. The main reason is that Tiggo 7 PRO is equipped with Chery's own third-generation ACTECO 1.6T engine, which has high combustion efficiency and the highest thermal efficiency has reached 37.1%. Secondly, the logic calibration of the gearbox tends to be smooth and economical, and upshifts are more active, allowing the engine to maintain a lower speed range. Unfortunately, Tiggo 7 PRO is not equipped with a start-stop system. If it can be equipped, I believe there is still room for improvement in fuel consumption.
The engine has high fuel efficiency, the gearbox is upshifted actively, and the engine cruise speed is low
Not equipped with start-stop system
