How competitive is the new generation Tiggo 8? I will tell you the answer after the test drive.

In the past, Chery introduced the first even-numbered model named Tiggo 8. Since the launch of the new car, with the advantages of large space and high cost performance, it has achieved good product sales. After nearly a year, the new generation of Tiggo 8 was officially replaced. The new car not only changed the appearance and interior design, but also added a new generation of 1.6T engine, which won the title of top ten autonomous engines in 20 19, matching it. Today, let's test drive this new generation Tiggo 8 equipped with a new powertrain to see its competitiveness after the new generation.

The engine is full of power? The gearbox shifts smoothly.

The test drive model is 1.6TGDI, a brand-new powertrain? Automatic distinguished model, the manufacturer's guide price is 654.38+044.9 thousand yuan, and the preferential margin of the terminal market is 5,000-7,000 yuan. 1.6 TGDI engine is one of the top ten engines, with the maximum horsepower 197, which is 4 1 horsepower higher than that of 1.5T model, and the maximum torque is 290. Only from the parameter point of view, there are certain advantages in benchmarking in the same class of cars. During the test drive, the engine speed is about 65,438+0,200 rpm, which can output good power performance. The matching Gertrak seven-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox has a delay in shifting, but the overall ride comfort is completely comparable to that of CVT models of Japanese cars.

The new generation of Tiggo 8 has only two driving modes: ECO and SPORT. Compared with models with up to seven driving modes in the same class, it is really simple. But for an urban two-wheel drive model, switching between urban and suburban areas is enough to cope with all road conditions. In ECO mode, the engine can shift gears actively, and it can shift gears around 1200 rpm, which can effectively reduce fuel consumption. In sports mode, the engine speed will increase by 400 rpm, the dashboard color will turn red, the visual effect is good, and the acceleration ability is good.

As we all know, many models equipped with the same type of gearbox on the market have obvious regional frustration during the process of rapid acceleration and deceleration, but this problem has not appeared on the Tiggo 8. When driving in urban areas, when the owner does not exceed 70km/h, the gear of the gearbox is basically below the sixth gear, and the seventh gear is rarely used. This kind of training may lay the foundation for smoothness, but it also increases the fuel consumption of vehicles to some extent. In the process of rapid acceleration, if the gear is in the highest gear 7, it will drop to the third gear instantly, but the overall adjustment may be for the sake of making the gearbox slow down a little, and the whole acceleration process takes a little long, which is not as happy as Volkswagen models.

The new generation Tiggo 8 is also equipped with a full-speed adaptive cruise system, with parallel assistance and lane departure warning system. When the vehicle deviates from the route, the dashboard will issue a warning to remind the driver to correct the steering wheel in time. When a car approaches nearby, the dashboard will automatically remind you, and the dashboard will prompt you according to the surrounding conditions of the car, and display the distance between the front and rear cars with three distances, which greatly improves the driving safety.

In terms of seat comfort configuration, the new generation of Tiggo 8 seats adopt leather perforated seats. The overall seat is spacious and comfortable, and the main driver's seat supports multi-directional electric adjustment, which is conducive to alleviating the fatigue of long-distance driving. The front seat also has the function of seat heating, which is definitely a benefit for the owners of winter cars in the north. ?

The steering system of the new generation Tiggo 8 is basically the same as the previous 1.5T model. The steering is not empty, and the steering force is moderate, but the steering wheel is thick as a whole, which is not very friendly to female drivers.

The suspension part of the new generation Tiggo 8 adopts the relatively common McPherson independent suspension and the rear multi-link dependent suspension, and the overall adjustment is mainly based on family comfort. When the vehicle talks about some small bumpy roads or speed bumps, it can be well filtered to provide a good driving environment for passengers in the car. However, when passing through some large bumpy roads, the suspension feedback of the whole vehicle is slightly stiff, which is of course in line with the positioning of SUV models.

The NVH control level has also been improved to some extent compared with the previous models. During driving, the engine speed is only 1400rpm when cruising at 80km/h, and 1900rpm when driving at100 km/h. Of course, the new generation of Tiggo 8 engine is completely wrapped, which also reduces the noise of the engine to some extent.

At the level of intelligent configuration, the intelligent interconnection system equipped with the new generation of Tiggo 8 can support CarPlay and CarLife, and can realize functions such as listening to music, navigating, opening air conditioners and skylights through voice. After several days of experience, both the degree of speech recognition and the response speed are good. Especially in high-speed driving or congested road sections, this function can completely free hands and effectively improve driving safety.

In the process of parking in the city, the new generation Tiggo 8 is equipped with front and rear radars and a 360-degree high-definition camera. It has a 3D display mode and supports multi-angle switching of viewing angles. When the vehicle speed is less than 20km per hour, it can be started, and the surrounding conditions of the vehicle can be seen at a glance, which greatly improves the safety of parking or driving in the city.

Intelligent key level

The smart key system equipped with the new generation Tiggo 8 is very practical. The key is on the owner's body, and it will automatically unlock when approaching the vehicle, which saves the trouble of pressing the key to open the door. When the car turns off and leaves, the car will automatically lock, which can effectively avoid the trouble of forgetting to lock the car and greatly improve the convenience of using the car.

Finally, I want to give some advice to the new generation of Tiggo 8. It is believed that these problems can be further improved in the next generation models, and the competitiveness of products will be further enhanced.

1, the distance between the brake and the throttle is close, which is easy to cause wrong stepping.

2. The adaptive cruise start button is far from the speed button.

3. The depth of the wireless charging card slot of the mobile phone is limited, and the mobile phone is easily thrown out when turning sharply.

4. The piano paint in the central control area is easy to scratch, which affects the appearance.

It's not over yet. There are eggs below. As the test drive just happened to catch up with the first snow in 2020, Bian Xiao brought the most beautiful snow scene to everyone by driving Tiggo 8, so please enjoy it.

Editor's comment: The new generation of Tiggo 8 has undergone a brand-new design upgrade in appearance and interior, which looks more fashionable and fashionable as a whole, and is also in line with the love of young people. In addition, the replacement of the new 1.6T engine fills the short board of power, further improving the driving experience of the product and further enhancing the comprehensive strength of the product. It is believed that Tiggo 8, which has been continuously improved and upgraded, will continue to increase sales with hard power in the future.
