2 Answers
Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng Edition is a four-wheel drive model. This vehicle is positioned as a midsize SUV, with dimensions of 4722/1860/1745 mm in length, width, and height respectively, and a wheelbase of 2710 mm. It is equipped with a 2.0T engine. Four-wheel drive lever introduction: The modes are H2, H4, H4L, and L4L. Modes with the number 4 are four-wheel drive modes, allowing selection based on different situations. Four-wheel drive lever location: Located next to the gear shift lever, there is a smaller control lever which is the four-wheel drive lever. Mode introduction: H2 mode is rear-wheel drive, suitable for well-paved roads mainly for fuel efficiency. H4 mode is full-time four-wheel drive, specifically for slippery conditions like rain or snow on paved roads, enhancing traction on wet surfaces. H4L mode is for long-distance travel on slightly uneven surfaces like mud, potholes, or loose gravel, providing low-torque four-wheel drive effect. L4L mode is for steeper slopes requiring additional power, delivering high-torque four-wheel drive effect, commonly used for uphill driving.
I've been driving SUVs for several years and pay special attention to the drivetrain. The Tiggo 8-PLUS Kunpeng Edition does offer four-wheel drive options in some configurations, particularly common in high-end versions or specific powertrain packages. This enhances its performance in adverse road conditions, such as rainy or snowy weather or hilly terrain, improving stability and traction. However, not all Kunpeng Editions come standard with 4WD; it depends on the specific model, like those equipped with the 1.6T engine, which can be optionally upgraded. If you frequently drive in mountainous areas or during winter, 4WD is a practical choice, though the front-wheel-drive version is more fuel-efficient. It's best to check the official configuration sheet or consult the dealer when purchasing to ensure it matches your needs and avoid regrets. Overall, the 4WD system in this Chery SUV performs reliably, though it comes at a slightly higher price.
