How is the quality of the Sehol X8?
2 Answers
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.
