Sehol X8 not only meets the China VI emission standards, but also adopts a direct injection engine. Here are the specific details about the Sehol X8: 1. Model positioning: The Sehol X8 is the first fuel-powered vehicle under the Sehol brand and the first SMV model in China. Its length/width/height are 4815/1870/1758mm, with a wheelbase of 2830mm. 2. Powertrain: It is equipped with a 1.5TGDI second-generation direct injection engine, delivering a maximum power of 135KW and a maximum torque of 300Nm. The maximum torque is achieved at 1800rpm, with a 0-50km/h acceleration time of 5.2 seconds. It is paired with either a 6MT or a DCT dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Speaking from the perspective of an average car owner, after driving the Sehol X8 for over a year, I find its overall quality decent. After all, it's produced under the Volkswagen system, ensuring reliable craftsmanship and stable driving performance. The doors feel solid, and the interior materials are quite wear-resistant—no major issues in two years, just occasional minor rattles that are tolerable. The key advantage is hassle-free maintenance with low servicing costs, and fair pricing at authorized service centers. In terms of space, the rear seats are spacious, ideal for family trips or daily commutes. Fuel consumption is moderate to slightly high: 8-10 L/100km in city driving, dropping to around 7 L/100km on highways—not the most fuel-efficient but acceptable. The transmission is smooth with gentle starts, though acceleration feels sluggish during quick bursts. Safety meets standards with ample airbags and a well-designed crash structure. However, the paint is thin and prone to scratches, and the AC cools a bit slowly in summer—minor drawbacks to note. Overall, it’s not a premium luxury car but offers great value for money, suiting budget-conscious buyers who prioritize durability.

As an automotive enthusiast, let me talk about the performance and quality of the JAC X8. This SUV has well-tuned chassis with a suspension system that handles bumps effectively, providing strong grip during turns and precise steering without dead zones. The 1.5T turbocharged engine delivers smooth and adequate power, offering quick acceleration in urban areas, but the noise becomes noticeable at high RPMs, and sound insulation is just average. The interior quality is commendable—seats are moderately firm with good support, making long drives less tiring, while the cabin avoids excessive plastic feel, and button layouts are simple and reliable. The driving feel is direct, gear shifts are smooth with occasional minor jerks that aren’t deal-breakers. Fuel consumption is moderate, averaging around 9L/100km—not the most frugal but acceptable for its power output. Safety-wise, it comes standard with ABS and ESC, scoring above average in crash tests, though electronic assists sometimes react with slight delays. Maintenance is convenient due to high parts commonality. A notable drawback is the heavy tailgate, which can be inconvenient for female users. Overall, its build quality is solid for the price range, making it a worthy choice.

My family uses the Sehol X8, and the space is truly spacious, with overall decent quality. As a daily family car, the engine runs smoothly and has never broken down, but the acceleration is a bit slow. The interior materials are acceptable, not prone to hiding dirt, making it suitable for families with many children. The seat fabric is stain-resistant and easy to clean. In terms of safety, it has multiple airbags for protection, and the body feels solid, but the rearview mirror visibility is slightly narrow. The fuel consumption is on the higher side, averaging 9-10 liters, with more noticeable consumption in urban areas. However, the maintenance costs are low, saving a lot of money. It drives comfortably, with soft suspension that doesn’t cause bumps, making it suitable for long trips. The downsides include poorly designed air vents, resulting in uneven airflow in the rear seats. The reliable quality reduces unexpected repairs, and an annual maintenance is sufficient. Overall, it is highly practical and meets basic needs without major issues.
