What brand of engine does the Tiggo 8 use?
4 Answers
The engine of the Tiggo 8 was jointly developed by Chery and AVL, but it is produced at Chery's engine production base in China, so this engine is a domestic engine. The engine model of the Tiggo 8 is SQRE4T15B. The 1.5T low-power version has a maximum power of 108 kW and a maximum torque of 210 Nm, while the 1.5T high-power version has a maximum power of 115 kW and a maximum torque of 230 Nm. The 1.6T version has a maximum power of 145 kW and a maximum torque of 290 Nm. For daily maintenance of the Tiggo 8's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, choose SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, it remains suspended in the oil; in large amounts, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I noticed that the Tiggo 8 primarily uses Chery's self-developed ACTECO series engines, such as the 1.6T turbocharged version, which is the result of years of optimization. As a car enthusiast who has driven many vehicles, I find this engine delivers smooth power output, quick acceleration from a standstill, and stable performance at high speeds, with fuel consumption controlled at around 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers—comparable to joint-venture brands. Chery has invested heavily in this area, focusing on engine technology since the 2010s to advance domestic automotive progress. A relevant point is that engine maintenance is straightforward; regular oil changes and air filter replacements can extend its lifespan. I’ve also observed that the noise handling in newer models is better than in older ones. If you’re considering buying a car, this is crucial, as the engine is the heart of the vehicle, directly impacting driving pleasure and durability. Overall, I find it trustworthy.
I bought my own Tiggo 8 last year, equipped with Chery's 1.5T engine. It has quick start response, smooth driving in the city, and low fuel consumption. After driving it for over a year, I haven't encountered any major issues, but regular maintenance is necessary. As an ordinary car owner, I chose it for its cost-effectiveness. The engine is stable and reliable, and it comes with a three-year warranty, making it suitable for family trips. Comparatively, I test-drove other SUVs and found that Chery's engine performs better in low-speed torque and is much quieter, which is crucial for daily commuting. Overall, it feels economical and practical, saving both fuel and money, and is worth buying.
I've worked on quite a few Tiggo 8 vehicles. The engine is Chery's self-produced ACTECO model, like the 1.6T which is reasonably designed with a compact structure, and both the ignition coils and cooling system are optimized. There aren't many common issues, but regular checks on engine oil and spark plugs are necessary to prevent carbon buildup from affecting performance. Simply put, it runs reliably and daily maintenance is easy to handle.
