Tiggo 8 uses an engine independently developed by Chery. An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into another form of energy, usually converting chemical energy into mechanical energy. The body dimensions of the Tiggo 8 are: length 4700 mm, width 1860 mm, height 1746 mm, and the wheelbase is 2710 mm. The Tiggo 8 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 115 kW, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a maximum torque of 230 Nm. It is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension.

The Tiggo 8 uses Chery's own engine. I've been driving this car for almost two years, and the powertrain is quite stable. It's matched with the ACTECO series 1.6T GDI engine, and the turbocharged design makes acceleration very powerful. The fuel consumption for city driving is around 8 liters. Chery has invested heavily in engine technology, and this self-developed engine combines fuel efficiency with high power, making it fully suitable for daily commuting. If you're concerned about details, its maximum power can reach 190 horsepower, and the torque is also good, making it suitable for long-distance travel or carrying loads. Remember to regularly maintain and change the engine oil to extend the engine's lifespan. After all, it's their own treasure, and the reliability is unquestionable.

I've driven the Tiggo 8 on long-distance trips, and its engine is manufactured by Chery. I believe the key factor in choosing this car is its economic efficiency. The engine maintains a fuel consumption of around 7 liters per 100 km on highways, and it runs quietly without any strange noises. As a driver who prioritizes affordability, I've compared it with other brands, and Chery's engine isn't far behind joint-venture ones, with lower maintenance costs and easily available parts. Although there's a slight delay in power delivery, it's more than sufficient for city driving. If you're on a tight budget, this engine offers great value for money. Overtaking occasionally isn't an issue, and the car handles very steadily.

The Tiggo 8 uses an engine independently developed by Chery. As a young car owner, I was initially concerned about its performance when I first got the car. However, after actual use, I found that the 1.5T or 1.6T configurations are quite suitable for beginners, with quick power response and light starts. Its noise control is excellent, making highway driving fatigue-free. Chery has made rapid progress in engine technology, and this model is energy-efficient, meeting environmental emission standards and offering worry-free refueling. For beginners, the learning curve is not steep, and the engine is smooth and durable, handling daily city commutes and weekend trips with ease.

At the repair shop, I often see the Tiggo 8 coming in for maintenance. It is equipped with a Chery engine model, like the common 1.6T GDI. I recommend everyone to pay attention to regular checks of the engine oil and air filter to prevent carbon buildup. This type of engine has a long lifespan but is prone to overheating in high-temperature environments, so avoid stomping on the gas pedal during summer driving. Maintenance is simple and inexpensive, and spark plugs are easy to replace. Chery engines are matched with sturdy body structures and have low failure rates. During normal driving, listen for any abnormal sounds and check immediately to avoid major repairs.

How to Turn on the Heater in the 2021 Haval H6?

After starting the car, wait approximately 8-15 minutes for the water temperature to reach normal operating temperature before turning on the heater. Adjust the air conditioning circulation mode to internal circulation. Switch to the heating mode, which is indicated by a red zone on some cars or a sun symbol on others. Do not turn on the air conditioning (do not activate the AC switch), as the heater utilizes the car's own heat cycle, saving energy. Adjust the air conditioning to a suitable setting and direct the airflow. The heater's airflow direction is typically directed forward and toward the feet.

What to Bring for the First Maintenance of a New Car?

You need to bring the vehicle's driving certificate and the maintenance manual. If the car was purchased from a 4S store, check whether the maintenance manual has the 4S store's seal. If you have a free first maintenance card, you can go to a nearby same-brand 4S store for maintenance. If not, you need to go to the 4S store where you purchased the car for the first maintenance. Below is some information about car maintenance: 1. Maintenance Location: The first maintenance of the car must be completed at a 4S store of the car. All car manufacturers stipulate that only cars that have their first maintenance done at a 4S store can enjoy the car quality guarantee. However, the first maintenance does not necessarily have to be done at the 4S store where the car was purchased; it can also be completed at a same-brand 4S store, as all 4S stores are networked. 2. Maintenance Interval: The first maintenance of the car should be done within 5,000 kilometers or six months of driving. Generally, the best time for the first maintenance is when the car has been driven between 4,000 and 5,000 kilometers. If it exceeds six months, the 4S store will not perform the first maintenance.

Which engine in the Weizhi is from Toyota?

The Weizhi 1.5L is equipped with the 5A engine, while the 1.3L model features the 8A+ engine, both of which belong to Toyota's A-series engines from Japan. Additionally, there are other models like the 4A and 6A. Here is some relevant information about the Weizhi: 1. A brief introduction to the Weizhi: The FAW Weizhi is powered by a four-cylinder, four-stroke, water-cooled, double overhead camshaft, 16-valve, electronically controlled fuel injection 8ACA4GB1 engine, paired with a mechanical 5-speed manual transmission. 2. Maintenance methods for the Weizhi engine: (1) Regularly clean the fuel system. During combustion, fuel inevitably forms deposits and carbon buildup in the fuel lines, carburetor, injectors, and combustion chamber, which can disrupt fuel flow, affect the air-fuel ratio, impair fuel atomization, and lead to engine issues like shaking, knocking, unstable idling, and poor acceleration. (2) Periodically clean the crankcase. While the engine is running, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber can enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from wear and forming sludge.

How to Downshift a Manual Transmission?

After reducing speed (specific speed depends on your judgment, but don't drop too much on highways—around 70-75 km/h is appropriate). Press the clutch and shift into neutral, pause for about two seconds, then shift into fourth gear, and slowly release the clutch. For low-speed driving when downshifting from third to second gear, it's simpler: just decelerate (or don't decelerate if preferred) and press the clutch directly. From third gear, push into neutral, wait two to three seconds, then shift into second gear while gradually releasing the clutch. Avoid releasing the clutch too quickly, as this may cause the car to jerk or lurch forward.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring Warning Light?

After the tire pressure indicator light comes on, you must safely pull over and check the tire pressure monitoring function on the car's navigation screen for any wheel abnormalities. Once it is confirmed that there is an issue with the wheels, we must check whether the tire pressure is too high or too low. If the alarm is triggered due to excessive tire pressure, you can release some air to bring the tire pressure back to the safe value. There is a tire pressure reset button; press it to reset the system. If the display indicates low tire pressure, you need to reset the system and then drive the car for a while. The tire pressure warning will then be cleared, and the issue will be resolved.
