How many seconds does the Tiggo 8 take to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h?

Tiggo 8 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.5 seconds, which is an intuitive reflection of the car's power. Taking the 2020 manual urban edition Tiggo 8 as an example, it belongs to the mid-size SUV category with body dimensions of 4700mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1746mm in height, a wheelbase of 2710mm, and a curb weight of 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, a maximum power of 115kW, and a maximum torque of 230Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

I remember the acceleration of the Tiggo 8 depends on which powertrain version you're referring to. The earliest 1.5T manual transmission version took about 11 seconds, but after switching to the new 1.6T engine, it directly entered the 8-second club. When I test drove the new Tiggo 8 PRO last year, the 2.0T AWD version was officially rated at 7.8 seconds, and the actual floor-throttle acceleration push was particularly noticeable—the mid-range acceleration was much crisper than the older models. However, with the 1.5T version or under full load, breaking into the sub-10-second range might be a bit challenging. I recommend focusing on the 1.6T or higher versions when choosing a car—just a light tap on the throttle in the city makes it dart out, and even at 120 km/h on the highway, the acceleration doesn't feel sluggish.

I tested my friend's newly bought Tiggo 8 PLUS 1.6T. With two people on board and half a tank of fuel, it achieved 0-100km/h acceleration in 8.2 seconds in sport mode. The tuning is quite interesting - there's about half a second of hesitation when the turbo kicks in at launch, but it becomes particularly aggressive after 2000rpm. The factory-fitted Giti tires offer average grip; switching to performance tires could probably shave off another 0.3 seconds. Compared to the similarly priced Changan CS75 PLUS, it has stronger high-end power, and the transmission downshifts more decisively. While you rarely need full-throttle acceleration in daily driving, it's particularly exhilarating to floor it when you're first at a traffic light.

The performance gap between different versions of the Tiggo 8 is quite significant. The 1.5T manual transmission models generally take over 11 seconds, while the automatic versions are around 10 seconds. The main 1.6T model has an official acceleration time of 8.9 seconds, but in good weather conditions, it can achieve 8.3 seconds in real-world tests. Last year, the tested Kunpeng Edition 2.0T with launch control delivered a 7.8-second acceleration, with a thrust feeling comparable to joint-venture SUVs in the 200,000 RMB range. Note that a full load and air conditioning can slow it down by at least 1 second, especially on uphill sections. It's recommended to test the 0-100 km/h performance after the break-in period, as the new car's transmission protection limits its full potential.
