A new generation of Tiggo 8, 1.6T with German horse brand tires, which saves fuel and has a large opening space.
SUV, the full name of Sports Utility Vehicle in English, means "sports utility vehicle". Split it up, "sports", I think at least the motivation should be sufficient, and the steering should be smart to prove the characteristics of sports; "Multifunctional", I think there are two meanings here, which are outside the car and inside the car. The first meaning means that the car must be widely used, that is, it can carry people and goods, which means "outside the car"; Another layer of meaning is that the configuration of the vehicle should be rich enough, with many functions, and it should make people feel comfortable and convenient to use, which means "inside the car" here.
If a car meets the above points, then I think it can be called a real SUV, and the Tiggo 8 with a price of just over 80 thousand can meet the above requirements.
NO.1 big heart that can do whatever it wants
Tiggo 8 is equipped with a 1.6TGDI in-cylinder direct injection turbocharged engine, which has super power and won the title of "Top Ten Engines of China Heart". This engine also adopts a series of advanced technologies, such as aluminum alloy cylinder head, "fish belly" inlet design and Masking combustion chamber. The maximum power is 145KW and the maximum torque is 290 N m. It is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, and the fuel consumption is 7.4L per 100 kilometers in 8.9S, which is comparable to that of the joint venture brand 2.0T engine.
In addition, manufacturers provide lifetime warranty service for all engines, which is the first in the automobile industry. I think only companies with excellent strength and absolute confidence in their products dare to make such a commitment. After all, everyone’s car environment is different. China has a vast territory, and cars can’t live without it except on ordinary urban roads, such as plateaus, cold and high temperatures. Therefore, from this perspective, I really admire the brand Chery, which makes the engine, the "heart" of the three major cars, be "reckless" in the hands of users.
NO.2 standard chassis layout tires are very kind.
The chassis structure of the Tiggo 8 is a multi-link structure before McPherson, which belongs to the standard chassis structure style. It not only improves the stability of the vehicle, but also optimizes the space layout inside the vehicle reasonably, and the ground clearance of the chassis is also very high, not to mention passing some unpaved roads or even light off-road.
In terms of tires, the flagship model is equipped with UC6 SUV tires from German brands, and tyre size has 235/50/R19 tires. This tire is a set of tires specially developed for Asian countries, especially for users in China. You can interpret it as "specially supplied by China" or "specially customized for users in China".
This tire not only has the ability to grip the wet road in rainy days, but also provides additional mute and comfort performance, and takes care of the passengers’ hearing and tactile feelings as much as possible under the premise of ensuring the safety of users. The author found that these four tires are worth nearly 5,000 yuan, which is a rare good tire, and it is enough to show that Chery really lost money this time!
NO.3, many people ride hard currency, and the trunk volume is amazing.
In terms of loading capacity, the Tiggo 8 is even better. The whole department provides three seat versions of 5/6/7 seats, totaling 20 models, which can meet the diverse needs of users. You know, at this price, many cars don’t have so many versions to choose from, let alone six or seven seats. For example, Great Wall H6 and Geely Bo Yue have only five versions, and the starting price is higher than that of Tiggo 8. The starting price of Geely Bo Yue is 89,800, while the starting price of Great Wall H6 is as high as 98,000. What is the starting price of Tiggo 8? Tiggo 8 is only 88,800, and 6-seat and 7-seat models are available.
In many places, especially in remote places, a family travels by such a car. Sometimes an extra seat means that the family can take fewer miles of mountain roads or go out with the big guys without staying at home. In this case, 6 seats and 7 seats are just needed, that is, "hard currency", and there are no conditions to talk about. This is more practical than installing an ambient light and a well-known brand stereo in the car. This is not to say that these functions are not good, but that for users at this price, we need to consider the problem from reality when designing products.
If you don’t have a rigid demand for multi-person ride (more than 5 people), then you can choose the 5-seat version. At this time, the luggage volume is 889 liters. After the second row of seats is folded down, you can even get a loading volume of nearly 2000 liters. What is the concept? Two household single-door refrigerators can be put in, which is bigger than the trunk of Geely Bo Yue. If you have a rigid demand for multi-person riding, you can choose a 6-seat or 7-seat version. The second row of seats supports forward and backward movement and seat electric heating function, and the third row is also equipped with independent air conditioning, independent air outlet and independent headrest.
NO.4 simple headrest shows the concern and awe of enterprises for users’ lives.
Here, I want to talk about the configuration of the independent headrest in the third row. Many seats in the third row of 7-seat SUVs are not equipped with headrest at all. I don’t know why. Is it to imitate the big sofas of those old American cars? The importance of headrest is self-evident. Imagine that when a car has a big collision before and after or the driver takes emergency braking, the occupants in the car will move back and forth with inertia under the condition of external force. At this moment, if there is no safety headrest above our seat, it is very likely that there will be no soft support at the back of the head when rebounding, which will lead to stress injury to the cervical spine. In severe cases, fractures may occur to compress the cervical nerves and lead to paralysis of the lower body.
Therefore, I think that all vehicles, no matter how many seats, must be equipped with safety headrests. The function of safety headrests is to protect the heads of the members in the seats in an emergency, but only if the seat belts are fastened. Then it can be seen from this small detail that Chery has always put the life safety of the occupants in the car in the first place.
NO.5 C-NCAP five-star safety certification rating
By the way, Tiggo 8 won the C-NCAP five-star safety certification rating with high scores, and was strictly designed with reference to the 2018 version of C-NCAP five-star safety standards at the beginning of development. Tiggo 8 also uses six luxury car-grade high-strength hot-formed steel bars from Bentele, and selects a high-strength one-piece cage body, which ensures everyone’s travel safety to the maximum extent. In this respect, it needs to be praised by Chery manufacturers.
The leapfrog configuration of NO.6 reflects science and technology and Zhilian everywhere.
Next, let’s take a look at what highlights the Tiggo 8 has. The first is the luxury of technology. Tiggo 8 is equipped with a 12.3-inch Zhilian multifunctional full-screen LCD instrument, two central control LCD digital displays, and supports three-screen interactive functions; The stepless color-changing temperament atmosphere lamp can realize color and light and shade changes with the fluctuation of temperament and the level of audio; The floating central control area is equipped with an electronic shift lever, which is comfortable and convenient, and also increases the storage space under the center console; Induction intelligent anti-pinch memory electric tailgate can realize remote control, induction control and voice control to open and close.
Super intelligent anti-pinch panoramic skylight, lying in the car and looking at the starry sky is a very pleasant thing; A 360 bird’s-eye panoramic ultra-clear reversing image is not impossible; CN95-level vehicle air conditioning purification technology prevents bacteria and dust from entering the car and wireless charging of mobile phones.
In terms of driving assistance, the Tiggo 8 is equipped with the mainstream L2-level automatic driving assistance system, including the full-speed ACC adaptive cruise system, the AEB automatic emergency braking system, the RCTA traffic blind spot warning after reversing and the IHC intelligent far and near light control system.
In my opinion, these configurations are leapfrog. Compared with my Japanese B-class car, it feels like the product of two eras, so the Tiggo 8 has done a really good job in configuration.
Positioning of NO.7 medium-sized SUV pricing of compact SUV
Finally, let’s take a look at the relationship between it and H6 and Bo Yue. In fact, we can see from the positioning that Tiggo 8 is one level higher than H6 and Bo Yue. Tiggo 8 is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, with a length x width x height of 4700x1860x1746, while H6 and Bo Yue are positioned as compact SUVs, which are much smaller than Tiggo 8 in appearance and size, so theoretically they cannot form a competitive relationship, but why should I put them? The simple reason is that their prices are very close. As I said before, the starting price of Tiggo 8 is 88,800 yuan, while the starting prices of H6 and Bo Yue are 98,800 yuan and 89,800 yuan respectively, so it is reasonable to compare them.
Then in the case of close price, Tiggo 8 still has the advantage of 5/6/7-seat versions for users to choose from, while H6 and Bo Yue do not have this aspect; In addition, many advanced technologies are used in the core component engine, which makes the power and fuel consumption get a good balance, and Chery manufacturers also provide lifetime warranty; The standard SUV suspension structure is matched with the special tires of continental UC6 SUV with a value of nearly 5,000 yuan, which provides a more comfortable driving experience on the premise of ensuring maneuverability; In terms of space and flexibility, Tiggo 8 is also doing very well; We have done meticulous work in safety concept and safety equipment, and always take ensuring passenger safety as the greatest appeal; In terms of technology, intelligence and luxury configuration, it is even more leapfrog.
To sum up, I think Tiggo 8 is the conscience work of Chery Group. It combines our national conditions and national needs, and everything is based on reality to build a rare good car. Don’t forget, Academician Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, is the owner of the new generation of Tiggo 8.
In addition, the overseas sales of Tiggo 8 should not be underestimated. In January alone, the export volume reached nearly 3,000 units, including Saudi Arabia, Russia, Uruguay, Ukraine, Chile and other countries around the world. To this end, Chery Group also specially designed a Brazilian version of the Tiggo 8, which is enough to see how strong a series of comprehensive products such as the shape of this car are. And the final conclusion of Tiggo 8 comparing H6 and Bo Yue, I think everyone who sees this place should have their own answers in their hearts.
