What is the mileage of a 2007 Chevy Optra?
The mileage of a 2007 Chevy Optra depends on the engine and market, but typical real‑world figures place petrol variants in the low to mid range and diesel variants higher. Common ranges are roughly 9–12 km per liter in city driving and 14–18 km per liter on highways for petrol, with diesel variants commonly achieving about 12–16 km/L in the city and 18–22 km/L on highways.
Engine options and typical fuel economy
Note: The Optra was offered with several gasoline and diesel engines depending on the market. The figures below reflect typical real-world ranges reported by owners and common estimates from the era.
- 1.6L petrol: approximately 9–12 km/L in city driving and 14–18 km/L on highways.
- 1.8L petrol: approximately 8–11 km/L in city driving and 14–17 km/L on highways.
These petrol figures illustrate how highway driving generally yields higher mileage than city driving, and how engine size can influence economy. Real-world results vary with transmission, maintenance, and driving style.
Diesel variants
Diesel versions of the Optra typically offer better mileage, especially on longer trips. The figures below reflect common ranges reported by owners of 2007 Optra diesel models.
- 2.0L diesel: approximately 12–16 km/L in city driving and 18–22 km/L on highways.
Diesel engines often deliver stronger fuel economy on sustained highway cruising, though mileage can be affected by load, maintenance, and driving conditions.
What influences the mileage?
Beyond engine choice, several factors can significantly affect observed fuel economy in the Optra.
- Driving style, including average speed and acceleration patterns
- Vehicle load and roof rack usage
- Tire condition and proper inflation
- Air conditioning use and climate controls
- Maintenance history, including engine tune-ups and fuel system cleanliness
- Transmission type and its condition
These variables can cause real-world mpg to deviate from the typical ranges listed above. For an accurate reading, track fuel consumption over multiple tanks under normal driving conditions.
Summary
In short, the 2007 Chevy Optra’s mileage varies by engine and market. Petrol models commonly register roughly 9–12 km/L in city driving and 14–18 km/L on highways, while diesel models commonly achieve about 12–16 km/L in the city and 18–22 km/L on highways. Real-world results depend on maintenance, driving habits, and conditions. For the most accurate estimate, identify your exact engine and transmission variant and consider monitoring your own fuel usage over several tanks.
