Tiggo is an SUV model under the Chery brand. On March 22, 2005, Chery launched its fifth vehicle series, the Tiggo, which was also Chery's first SUV. Its birth marked the beginning of Chery's transformation in brand image. As an urban leisure SUV, the Tiggo's origin differs from other urban leisure SUVs derived from A-segment car platforms. For example, the Mitsubishi Outlander is based on the Lancer platform, the Honda CR-V comes from the Honda Civic platform, and the Hyundai Tucson is derived from the Elantra platform. However, the Tiggo shares a platform with the B-segment car, the Eastar. The dimensions of the new Tiggo 8 are 4700mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1746mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2710mm. The body features a 5-door, 7-seat configuration, and the chassis system adopts a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension structure. In terms of power, the 2022 Tiggo 8 Craftsman Edition Ultra is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine with an aluminum alloy structure, delivering a maximum power of 187kW and a maximum torque of 390Nm. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox.

I bought a Chery Tiggo a few years ago and have been driving it ever since. The name 'Tiggo' simply means 'Tig' represents auspiciousness and good fortune, while 'go' symbolizes bravery and invincibility. Combined, it implies that this car can bring good luck and safety protection to its owner. Chery had good reason to name this car this way—it's part of their SUV series, especially suitable for family trips. It has ample space in the back for kids' stuff, and the fuel consumption isn't high; I only get a little over 8L/100km in city driving. Driving it daily for commuting feels sturdy and reliable, with stable handling and good shock absorption—unlike some foreign brands that are more delicate. If you're considering an affordable domestic SUV, the Tiggo is absolutely trustworthy—it's not expensive, maintenance is convenient, and Chery's reputation has been steadily improving over the years. Don't believe those who say domestic cars aren't good; experiencing it firsthand is truly satisfying.

As a fan who enjoys studying automotive history, let me talk about the name 'Tiggo'. In Chinese, Tiggo directly translates to 'auspicious tiger'. Chery used this name for its SUV series to highlight the vehicle's robustness and auspicious attributes. The brand launched the first-generation Tiggo back in 2005, aiming to carve out a space in the SUV market with this powerful name to attract popularity. Now, the Tiggo series is selling like hotcakes, with models like the Tiggo 8 being sold globally. Compared to other brands, such as Haval's H6, Tiggo places more emphasis on family use and cost-effectiveness. The configurations aren't overly flashy, but the engines are reliable, the chassis is stable, and it's not afraid of rough roads. I think the name was brilliantly chosen—it evokes the majesty of a tiger, and in actual driving, it indeed offers ample power and agile handling. Most importantly, it has high safety ratings, making it suitable for novice drivers.

The meaning of Tiggo is simply good luck plus fierceness. As a post-90s generation, I think it's super cool. When I drive the Tiggo 7 out, my friends all say the name has a great vibe. It represents Chery's low-key but capable style. I chose this car mainly for its intelligent system—the touchscreen responds quickly, the navigation is accurate, and long drives aren't tiring. The seats are comfortable, and the suspension handles bumps well without jolting. Priced at just over 100,000 RMB, it's more than half the price of joint-venture SUVs. Maintenance is hassle-free, and fuel consumption is low—I save a lot on gas every month with my highway commutes. The name matches its performance: practical, not flashy, but reliable. For young entrepreneurs or daily commuters, the Tiggo is a smart choice. After all, money should be spent wisely—buying an affordable car that also shows personality is the way to go.

What Causes the Exhaust Pipe to Glow Red?

Reasons for the exhaust pipe glowing red: 1. Some of the combustible gas in the cylinder enters the exhaust pipe and continues to burn; 2. Excessive valve clearance or overly soft valve springs causing delayed valve opening; 3. Improper valve timing with early opening and late closing; 4. Delayed ignition timing and excessive carbon buildup in the exhaust pipe or muffler. During maintenance, adjust the air-fuel mixture concentration, inspect and adjust valve clearance, and correct ignition or fuel injection timing. Remove the exhaust pipe and muffler, disassemble the muffler, then clean carbon deposits by soaking in kerosene or scraping with a blade. Alternatively, the muffler core can be dried over an open flame before final cleaning with a wire brush.

How Often Should the Tensioner Pulley Be Replaced?

The tensioner pulley is generally replaced every 2 to 3 years or after driving approximately 60,000 to 70,000 kilometers. It is usually replaced along with the timing belt. The tensioner pulley is a belt tensioning device used in the automotive transmission system, mainly composed of a fixed housing, tensioning arm, pulley body, torsion spring, rolling bearing, and spring sleeve. It can automatically adjust the tension according to the belt's varying tightness, ensuring a stable, safe, and reliable transmission system. The tensioner pulley is a wear-prone component in automotive parts. Over time, the belt can easily stretch. Additionally, the tensioner pulley makes the belt run more smoothly, reduces noise, and prevents slippage.

What are the symptoms of overcharged car refrigerant?

Symptoms of overcharged car refrigerant: Limited expansion space for refrigerant, reduced heat transfer capacity, increased high pressure, shortened compressor lifespan, increased likelihood of leaks, frequent on-off cycling of the air conditioning due to high pressure triggering the protection system, and degraded cooling performance. The refrigerant quantity should be moderate - both insufficient and excessive amounts will affect cooling performance. Vehicle owners must strictly follow the specifications and technical parameters in the maintenance manual when adding refrigerant. Refrigerant should not be insufficient either, as inadequate pressure will result in poor air conditioning cooling performance. In vapor-compression refrigerators, besides requiring good thermodynamic and physicochemical properties, the selected refrigerant should also possess excellent environmental characteristics.

How to Charge a Hybrid Electric Vehicle?

Charging methods for hybrid electric vehicles: Plug-in hybrid models can replenish their battery through external charging devices or automatically charge while driving with fuel; non-plug-in hybrid models cannot be charged externally and can only recharge by operating the vehicle. Plug-in hybrid models are characterized by their ability to drive a relatively long distance in pure electric mode when fully charged. If the vehicle usage intensity is not very high, it can basically achieve zero fuel consumption, offering significant advantages in energy efficiency. Non-plug-in hybrid models derive their energy by storing the wasted energy from conventional vehicles in the form of electricity, with all energy still originating from gasoline, making them less efficient in terms of energy savings.

What to Do If It Rains After Painting?

Solutions for rain after painting: 1. Regular maintenance and waxing will suffice; 2. Immediately move the car to a dry place. Do not touch the freshly painted area. After the paint dries, use 1500-grit sandpaper with a sanding block and water to sand until the water marks are removed, then polish to achieve the desired effect; 3. If it starts raining during the painting process, stop immediately and move the car to a dry place. If only the base coat (1K) has been applied without the clear coat, you can sand off the water marks and repaint. If the clear coat has already been applied, do not repaint; wait for it to dry, then sand and repaint.
