Chery Tiggo 4 Pro Fuel Consumption

Yesterday I sat in a friend's brand new Isuzu MUX AWD, the interior feels exactly like the Chery.

Interior feel has nothing to do with what we are talking about, it has nothing to do with whether a vehicle is an SUV or not, or whether a vehicles fuel consumption is justifiable or not.

And also are you really trying to compare a MUX with a Tiggo 4? Seriously? Your really seem to think a Tiggo 4 is a capable SUV. I am actually shocked by you right now.

I doubt that you have even seen one, nor sat in one, nor driven one.

When a friend came to visit with his Toyota Corolla Cross, he pulled into my double garage, next to my Chery tiggo 4 pro.
The first thing he said is that the Chery tiggo 4 pro is bigger than the Toyota Corolla Cross.

It's got a high ground clearance, I've driven it off road a few times already, no issues.

Everyone who has seen it, like it's looks.
Everyone who has sat in it, appreciated the quality and features of the interior.
Everyone has complimented the smooth drive and comfort.

@epah is just jealous because her car was made in India but yours was made in China, everyone knows that the Chinese make better cars and unfortunately jealously makes people mean. 😪

6L per 100kms should be your combined(town and highway)fuel consumption and not just for the open road on a car that sized.

Oh and BTW the turbo versions are getting 9L per 100km so be glad you didn’t get that one.

So yes you saved on your initial purchase but you are spending R2000 more a month in fuel than you would be had you chosen a more proven brand.

I have done alot of research before I bought my Tiggo 7 pro with the 1.5 turbo. These cars are still being used in Russia as taxis for a few years before the SA buyer even heard or knew of them, and they drive on average 30-40k km per year as a russian taxi. I did a 2500km round road trip and an average of 7.4l per 100km is not bad for the size of vehicle and average of about 100-120 and occasionaly 140 to over take trucks. The brand is proven in many countries, just not to the SA consumer. The world said the same thing about Huyndai and Kia when they entered the market. South Africans are brand loyal because we don't have as many options to choose form as the European or Asian countries do. Let's not forget that as of 2026, VW will use chinese software for their infotainment systems.
 
Talking of fuel consumption, at one stage on a long trip, the average fuel consumption readout showed 5.4 litres per 100 KMS.
Mostly driving at or slightly higher than the posted speed limit.

To put the fuel consumption in perspective, I have a Suzuki Ertiga, which is a 7 seat MPV, the dimensions of which are almost the same as the Chery tiggo 4 pro lit.

But, the Chery tiggo 4 pro lit is 179 kgs heavier.

The listed Ave fuel consumption is 6.2 litres per 100 KMS, in real life usage, it's about 6.7
This figure is easily attained when driving around in town, without much traffic. Also on the open road.
But, once you go above 120 km/ h, the fuel consumption gets worse, as the engine has to work much harder.

In my opinion and experience, the fuel consumption of the Chery tiggo 4 pro lit is reasonable.

Good thing the speed limit is 120km/h :p.
 
Your real fuel consumption is an indication of your driving style and habits.
To illustrate this, here's another example.
I have a Nissan 350Z, it's rated fuel consumption is 12.4 litres per 100 KMS.
On the open road, if I drive at 100 KMS/ h, the engine is only doing 2000 r/ Min, and I can get 6 litres per 100 KMS.

Driving around in town, I often joke, that I may as well stand on a street corner and hand out money.
 
When I used to drive at double the speed limit, I could see the fuel gauge moving.
 
@inanabhay I’ve had my Tiggo 4 for 7 months and I can say this car HATES stop/start traffic. Unfortunately the last 7 months has only been stop/start for me.

The BEST I’ve seen is something like 9ish per 100km. Most the time I’m doing 10+l/100km and about 400km with range showing 0.

I don’t have a long distance planned in the short term - but from comments, this should drop to about (still not great). But I’ll update this thread when I do it
 
Is your car manual?

Mine is manual and I shift into neutral at every downhill stretch, the weight of the car really pushes itself.

I've noticed on the flat open road, the consumption goes up (worsens) a bit

Is your reading set on average fuel consumption?

Oh dear lord stop doing that immediately.

You’ll have absolutely no control if you suddenly need to swerve for anything.

It also won’t really save you any fuel.

CVT and average - but I track it tank by tank too. Pay via Engen 1 app so I’ve got a full record of fuel in & distance.

But I’m on the Chery group and most variants are fairly high actually. I suspect that it’s only the gearbox - but also whether turbo or not

Was it brand new? Should start settling down a bit after the first service.
