Chery Tiggo 8 Running Costs — Australia

Written and edited by Ethan Cole, Editor-in-Chief · ✓ Technically reviewed by Daniel Wei Chen — Senior Chinese Automotive Diagnostics & Repair Specialist, Sydney · 20 August 2026.

Seven seats, $2,201.93 in servicing over seven years (2WD and AWD identical), and the honest fuel line: the 2.0T is the thirstiest petrol Chery sells here — 8.1 L/100km (2WD) / 8.7 (AWD) on 95 RON, 11+ around town. The Super Hybrid flips the equation: 1.3 L/100km lab figure, 95 km electric range, $1,157 government annual fuel estimate — against $3,174.15 servicing including the plug-ins’ signature $1,291 year-six service.

The numbers

	2.0T 2WD	2.0T AWD	Super Hybrid
Official combined (GVG)	8.1 L/100km	8.7 L/100km	1.3 L/100km†
Urban	11.1	12.4	—
Fuel grade	95 RON	95 RON	95 RON
Fuel per 15,000 km/yr	≈ 1,215 L	≈ 1,305 L	depends on charging
GVG annual fuel cost	$2,370	$2,546	$1,157
7-year capped servicing	$2,201.93 (identical)		$3,174.15

Australian Government Green Vehicle Guide (retrieved 20 August 2026; annual cost assumes 14,000 km/year at last-quarter fuel prices) and Chery Australia’s official Capped Price Service program. Litres/kWh per year are our arithmetic at 15,000 km/year — assumptions stated so you can rescale.

†Same plug-in asterisk as always: 1.3 L/100km assumes charging (154 Wh/km, 95 km range). A never-plugged Super Hybrid drinks like a petrol seven-seater while still owing the $1,291.31 service F. Charged nightly, the government sums say it saves ≈$1,200+ a year against the 2.0T — the biggest fuel delta in Chery’s range.
