What is the difference between TX and TXL?

TX is the China-spec model, primarily available in the Middle East version, specifically the Kuwait version; TXL is the low-spec Middle East version, with configurations equivalent to the mid-to-high-spec China-spec model, and it is generally only found in the Middle East region. These two models have certain differences in seat design, safety measures, comfort, and other aspects. The differences between them are as follows: 1. Seat quality and comfort: Compared to TX, TXL offers significant improvements in seat quality and comfort. 2. Safety measures: Compared to TX, TXL provides notable enhancements in safety measures. 3. Driving comfort: Compared to TX, TXL delivers substantial upgrades in driving comfort.

My friend just picked up a Chery Tiggo 8 and specifically researched the differences between the TX and TXL models. The TX is the base version—while it shares the same powertrain, it lacks features like a sunroof, leather seats, and a navigation screen, and even the steering wheel isn’t multifunctional. The TXL, on the other hand, comes fully equipped with power seat adjustment and seat heating, which is especially practical in winter. The infotainment screen upgrades from 8 inches to 10 inches, with much faster voice control response, and the navigation system can update traffic conditions in real time. My friend ended up spending over 10,000 yuan more for the TXL, saying features like remote air conditioning activation and smartphone screen mirroring are indispensable for daily driving.

As a father of two, I focused on the differences in safety features when choosing a car. The TXL comes with side airbags and curtain airbags, providing multiple layers of protection in emergencies. It also features full-speed adaptive cruise control, which makes highway driving effortless by automatically following the vehicle ahead. The autonomous emergency braking system has helped me avoid rear-end collisions in traffic jams. In contrast, the TX doesn't even come with a rearview camera as standard and only has rear parking sensors. For families with elderly or children, I highly recommend the TXL—the difference in safety features is significant.

Last week, while accompanying a colleague for a test drive, I noticed significant differences in space. Although both have a wheelbase of 2710mm, the TXL offers an optional 7-seat layout, with the third row being just right for kids. The trunk features additional hidden storage compartments, making it more convenient to store child seats and strollers. The TX only comes in a 5-seat version, and the rear center armrest is simplified. The TXL, with its panoramic sunroof, feels more spacious and bright, and the independent rear air vents help prevent kids from getting carsick.
