Tiggo 8 can be driven while warming up. Taking the 2020 manual urban edition Tiggo 8 as an example, it belongs to a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of: length 4700mm, width 1860mm, height 1746mm, and a wheelbase of 2710mm. The curb weight is 1509kg. The 2020 manual urban edition Tiggo 8 features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 156PS, maximum power of 115kW, and maximum torque of 230Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving my Tiggo 8 for almost two years now, and it runs perfectly fine when warming up. Modern vehicles are designed to be most efficient when driven immediately after starting, as prolonged idling to warm up the engine only wastes fuel and increases emissions. The Tiggo 8's engine technology is advanced, with electronic systems that quickly adjust the temperature; after starting, wait about half a minute for the oil to circulate, then drive at low speed until the temperature gauge rises to around 90 degrees, and it's good to go. I usually drive out slowly in the morning, avoiding hard acceleration, which allows the engine to heat evenly and last longer. It's fuel-efficient, environmentally friendly, and safer—I recommend not idling too long and just setting off directly. Remember to regularly check the engine oil and coolant to ensure a smooth warm-up process.
