What is the engine model of the Tiggo 8?

The engine model of the Tiggo 8 is SQRE4T15B. The 1.5T low-power version has a maximum power of 108kW and a maximum torque of 210Nm, the 1.5T high-power version has a maximum power of 115kW and a maximum torque of 230Nm, and the 1.6T version has a maximum power of 145kW and a maximum torque of 290Nm. The engine of the Tiggo 8 was jointly developed by Chery and AVL, but it is produced in Chery's engine production base in China, so this engine is a domestic engine. For daily maintenance of the Tiggo 8's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance will deteriorate, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When the oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing the oil to bypass through the bypass valve and bring contaminants back to the lubrication parts, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. A small amount of sludge remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, blocking the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
Having studied the Tiggo 8 for years, I can confirm its engine lineup is indeed diverse. Key models include the 1.5T turbocharged SQRE4T15C, ideal for daily commutes with good fuel economy; the SQRF4J16 1.6TGDI is my personal favorite, delivering smooth power output, quick acceleration while maintaining fuel efficiency; the premium variant features the SQRF4J20 2.0TGDI, boasting 254 horsepower with strong acceleration on highways. Different trims like Tiggo 8 PRO or PLUS pair different engines depending on model year and configuration - older versions might use a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, but newer models have all upgraded to efficient turbo options. Understanding these engine codes is crucial when purchasing, as they significantly impact fuel consumption, performance and maintenance costs. Having driven the 1.6T version myself, I found it responsive in urban traffic and easy to maintain.
