The Chery Tiggo 8 primarily uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, model named SQRH4J15, with a maximum horsepower of 156 and torque of 230 Nm. I’ve driven this car before, and its acceleration response is quick, especially when overtaking on highways—it feels very stable. This engine, independently developed by Chery, is part of the ACTECO series and utilizes multi-point fuel injection technology, achieving a daily fuel consumption as low as 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers. For an SUV, its power is sufficient for both urban and suburban road conditions. In owner groups, it’s often mentioned that maintenance costs are low, with an oil and filter change costing only around 300-400 yuan. A reminder: regularly replacing the air filter can prevent carbon buildup and extend the engine’s lifespan. Overall, this engine offers high cost-effectiveness among domestic vehicles, making it suitable for daily commutes or family trips.
I drive a Chery Tiggo 8 purchased in 2019, equipped with a 1.5T engine. The driving experience is smooth, with no sluggishness at startup, easy climbing, and even at 120 km/h on the highway, the engine noise remains minimal. In terms of fuel consumption, the average is about 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers during daily commutes, slightly increasing to 9 liters in traffic jams. It's a bit slow during cold starts, but runs fine after warming up. The engine maintenance is straightforward, requiring service every 5,000 kilometers at a cost of less than 500 yuan. As an average car owner, I find its reliability excellent, with no major repairs needed over the years, outperforming some joint-venture brands. For family use, this car's engine is quite worry-free.
