Tiggo 8 Plus hybrid enhances power while ensuring fuel economy. Tiggo 8 Plus hybrid: The Tiggo 8 Plus is equipped with the 'Super China Core' ACTECO 1.6TGDI engine and a 1.5T+48V mild hybrid system, achieving a minimum combined fuel consumption of 6.4L/100km and a thermal efficiency of 37.1%, enhancing power while ensuring fuel economy. Tiggo 8 Plus healthy ecological cabin: Affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Tiggo 8 Plus considered air filtration issues during its design, pioneering the 'CN95-level' healthy ecological cabin. It fully utilizes the 'CN95 medical-grade' anti-pathogen air conditioning filter and the AQS air quality control system, achieving a 95% filtration efficiency for particles and pathogens in the air. Additionally, it can remotely activate the active cabin automatic cleaning function via the RICSCS control system to ensure fresh air inside the vehicle.
I bought a Tiggo 8 Plus hybrid version last year, and after using it for over half a year, I feel really satisfied. It's especially quiet when driving in the city, particularly in pure electric mode—there's no noise at all, and the start is very smooth, unlike gasoline cars that sometimes jerk. The fuel consumption is super economical; for my daily commute, driving over 50 kilometers on pure electric is enough, and I only need to charge once a week. On long trips, the hybrid mode averages about 1.6L per 100 kilometers, saving half the cost compared to the gasoline version. The space is also spacious; when traveling with family, three adults can sit comfortably in the back row without feeling cramped. The downsides are that the car is a bit expensive, costing 30,000 to 40,000 yuan more than the gasoline version of the same model. Charging can occasionally be troublesome when there are few charging stations in the neighborhood, requiring detours. The battery maintenance cost is high in the long run, and it's estimated that the battery will need replacement in five or six years, costing around 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. Overall, it's very cost-effective for daily commuting, has ample power for easy overtaking on highways, and is a practical choice for family use.
I've researched the cost-effectiveness of the Tiggo 8 Plus hybrid version. It's about 20,000 to 30,000 RMB more expensive than the regular version, but you save significantly in the long run. For example, after driving it for a year, I've saved nearly 10,000 RMB on fuel costs. Plus, some local policies exempt it from purchase tax, which helps reduce the initial expenses. The powertrain combines a 1.5T engine with an electric motor, providing quick and smooth starts. The battery range of 50 kilometers is sufficient for city driving. The downside is the battery lifespan—performance degrades over time. Charging is more convenient with a home charging station; otherwise, waiting at public stations can be frustrating. The space and configuration are decent, with soft seats and ample rear legroom, making it suitable for families. Maintenance at 4S shops is slightly more expensive, but the long warranty period ensures timely issue resolution. Overall, it's a good choice for those with a flexible budget looking to save money—over five years, the fuel savings can roughly offset the price difference.
