How many USB ports does the Tiggo Plus have?
2 Answers
Tiggo 8 Plus is equipped with 4 USB ports. There are two USB ports above the cigarette lighter and two more USB ports below the rear seat air vents. Below is relevant information about USB ports: Functions of USB ports: The main functions of USB ports include playing music from USB drives, charging mobile phones, powering car cigarette lighters, car vacuum cleaners, and dash cams. Limitations of USB ports: Different multimedia players in cars support varying music formats via USB. Most cars support MP3 and WMA formats. However, even if the format is compatible, the player may have specific bitrate requirements. If the music exceeds this range, the player won't be able to play it. Therefore, please refer to the car's user manual for detailed specifications. Precautions: USB drives require driver loading during use. If the USB drive or phone is occasionally not recognized, try reconnecting it. If a USB drive is not used for an extended period, remove it promptly to prevent accelerated aging, as the host system frequently reads and writes to the USB drive, which can affect the host's performance. Keep the USB ports clean and tidy. Rust, water stains, small debris, or other foreign objects in the USB port may prevent proper connection. Charging should only be done when the car engine is running to avoid damage to electrical devices due to unstable power supply.
When driving the Tiggo Plus, I noticed it comes with a USB port in the front dashboard area, conveniently located below the center console, making it easy to plug in without bending over to search for the cable. This USB port supports a charging power of around 5V/2.4A, which is fast enough for my daily phone charging needs, especially during long drives with navigation, eliminating battery anxiety. Although there's only one port, the front cigarette lighter can be used to add a multi-port USB charger for passengers to charge or connect devices easily. For data transfer, it's compatible with both CarPlay and Android Auto, ensuring stable music playback or map usage. The overall design is practical, though the lack of a rear USB might be slightly inconvenient—higher trim levels may include an additional port in the rear armrest. The well-placed port enhances safety by minimizing distractions. I recommend test-driving different trims before purchase, as subtle configuration differences can be noteworthy.
