What is the real fuel consumption of the Tiggo 7 Plus?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Tiggo 7 Plus is 5.9-6.9L/100km. Currently, there are 9 models of the Tiggo 7 Plus on sale. The CVT Fashion, CVT Luxury, CVT Premium, and CVT Flagship models have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.8L/100km. The DCT Luxury, DCT Premium, and DCT Flagship models have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.6L/100km. The manual Luxury model has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.9L/100km. The CVT 48V Premium model has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.9L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The real fuel consumption is higher than these values, ranging from 8.22-9.06L. Specific factors affecting car fuel consumption are as follows: Car weight: Larger and heavier cars tend to consume more fuel. Generally, a small family car with a 1.6L engine and a weight of about 1.2 tons has a fuel consumption of approximately 7.5 liters (calculated under full load), while an SUV weighing about 1.5 tons has a fuel consumption of about 8.5 liters. Different weights lead to different fuel consumption levels. Drag coefficient: Higher drag coefficients increase fuel consumption during driving. Cars with better aerodynamics have lower drag coefficients, resulting in lower fuel consumption. Economic RPM: The engine has an optimal torque output point during driving. Maintaining the car's speed within this torque output point can significantly reduce fuel consumption. Generally, small-displacement cars achieve this at around 70 km/h, while larger-displacement cars achieve it at around 100 km/h. Staying within this economic RPM range ensures minimal fuel consumption. Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at traffic lights, can increase fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Tiggo 7 Plus for half a year now and am quite concerned about its actual fuel consumption. During daily city driving with frequent traffic jams, it often reaches around 9L per 100km; when cruising steadily on highways at 60-80km/h, it can drop to just over 7L. Turning on the AC, especially in summer, increases fuel consumption by about 10%, with an overall average of 8-9L being reasonable. Once, I forgot to do maintenance, and with old engine oil, the consumption rose to 10L, but it improved after changing to new oil. Driving habits are key—aggressive acceleration and sudden braking increase fuel consumption. Now, I've learned to gently press the accelerator and slow down in advance, saving 0.5-1L. Maintaining proper tire pressure also helps save fuel. A friend driving the same model keeps it under 8L with gentle driving. I think this SUV isn't particularly fuel-thirsty as long as it's well maintained.
