The engine code of the Tiggo 8 is SQRE4T15B, which is a 4-cylinder gasoline engine. This engine is an improved version of the current Tiggo 7's 1.5T engine with the code E4T15. The product collaborates with renowned component suppliers such as Honeywell, Valeo, and Bosch, and has undergone comprehensive optimization in aspects like the combustion system and cooling system, achieving a thermal efficiency as high as 37.1%. In terms of appearance, the Tiggo 8 adopts Chery's family design language, but with a more robust and bold overall styling. The vehicle features a honeycomb grille with a wing-shaped design that extends to both sides and connects with the headlight clusters. The LED daytime running lights are ingeniously designed at the air intakes on both sides, further highlighting its sporty and stylish character.

I've been researching the engines of the Tiggo 8 recently, and the different version codes are quite interesting. The older models usually come with a 1.5T engine, code-named SQRE4T15C, delivering around 150 horsepower. The newer version is the 1.6T SQRF4J16, which boosts the power to 197 horsepower. This code represents Chery's ACTECO series, known for its reliable structure, but regular oil changes are essential. I've driven my friend's car with the SQRF4J16 engine, and it has quick throttle response, is fuel-efficient in the city, and offers good stability on highways, though the noise during cold starts in winter is slightly louder. When buying a used car, checking the engine code can give you a clear understanding of its condition and help avoid potential oil leakage issues with older engines. Overall, understanding the engine codes is quite useful for maintenance and upgrades—don't just focus on horsepower and overlook the details.

My family drives a Tiggo 8 2022 model equipped with a 1.6T engine, codenamed SQRF4J16. The overall driving experience is smooth with ample low-end torque. These engine codes often appear on maintenance invoices, especially when replacing parts or during recalls. The earlier SQRE4T15C model was comparatively more fuel-consuming. I've studied the maintenance manual and found that different engine codes affect spark plug replacement intervals. After long-term use, I've noticed this car has relatively low maintenance costs, but I recommend using full synthetic oil to extend engine life. When encountering engine code-related questions, it's safest to check owner forums or contact the 4S dealership directly, as each engine variant has unique characteristics.

During car repairs, I've encountered many Tiggo 8 models, with engine codes SQRE4T15C or SQRF4J16, varying by year. Knowing these codes helps diagnose issues - for instance, SQRE engines often suffer from excessive intake carbon buildup affecting idle stability. I advise owners to regularly clean the throttle body, especially SQRF engines which need oil temperature monitoring to prevent oil burning. Remembering these codes saves time during parts replacement, and avoid cheap aftermarket parts that might interfere with ECU settings.
