What are the differences between the Tiggo 8 Kunpeng Edition and the Tiggo 8 Plus?
3 Answers
There are slight differences in body dimensions between the two models, mainly in length and height. Below is an introduction to the Chery Tiggo series: Introduction: "A practical and stylish SUV model" is Chery's clear positioning for the Tiggo 3. Following forward development standards and processes, significant upgrades and improvements have been made in sensory quality, manufacturing craftsmanship, as well as power, comfort, and configuration. Body: Although the chassis is derived from a B-segment car, the Tiggo does not pursue a large body size. The Tiggo has an overall length of 4285mm and a wheelbase of 2510mm, which is about 100mm shorter than models like the Outlander, CR-V, and Tucson. This design primarily aims to highlight the vehicle's "on-road" characteristics and highway performance. As a result, the Tiggo's minimum turning diameter is only 11m, comparable to that of the Chery Cowin.
I've been driving for almost twenty years and know the Tiggo 8 quite well. The main differences between the Kunpeng Edition and the Plus Edition lie in the engine and design. The Kunpeng Edition is equipped with Chery's Kunpeng Power system, offering significantly more horsepower, quicker acceleration, and responsive handling, making highway overtaking very stable. However, it has higher fuel consumption in city driving, leading to greater fuel expenses. The Plus Edition's engine is tuned for smoother performance, providing a gentle start and better fuel efficiency, making it more suitable for daily commuting. In terms of exterior, the Kunpeng Edition features a sharper front grille and more dazzling headlights, while the Plus Edition has a classic, understated, and timeless look. The interiors differ greatly—the Kunpeng Edition comes with a large touchscreen and smart assists like automatic parking, whereas the Plus Edition focuses on basic functionality and spaciousness. Maintenance-wise, the Kunpeng Edition's parts are pricier, but it offers a more thrilling driving experience. The Plus Edition is more economical and hassle-free. Your choice depends on your needs: go for the Kunpeng if you prioritize performance, or the Plus for practicality and daily use.
As the head of the household, practicality is key when buying a car. The Tiggo 8 Kunpeng Edition offers stronger power and faster acceleration compared to the Plus version, but it consumes more fuel, making fuel costs for school runs hard to sustain; the Plus version has a smoother engine, better fuel efficiency, and saves money. Both offer spacious interiors, with the Kunpeng Edition boasting a high-tech interior and ambient lighting; the Plus version provides more rear legroom and greater luggage capacity. In terms of safety features, the Kunpeng Edition includes additional active braking, while the Plus version's basic airbags are sufficient. The price difference is around 10,000 to 20,000 RMB, with the Kunpeng Edition being more expensive and having higher maintenance costs; the Plus version is more affordable and easier to maintain. For family use, I believe the Plus version is the better value—economical, reliable, spacious, and simpler to maintain regularly. Its lower fuel consumption is also better for the environment.
