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.

As someone who frequently repairs the Tiggo 8, I'm very familiar with its engine models. The common ones include the SQRE4T15C 1.5T turbo, suitable for small displacement needs; the SQRF4J16 1.6TGDI direct-injection engine, which offers strong power and easy maintenance; and the SQRF4J20 2.0TGDI high-performance version. When troubleshooting issues, I've found that the 1.5T model occasionally experiences turbo lag, while the 1.6T is durable and reliable, requiring only regular oil changes and spark plug replacements. Remember, when car enthusiasts ask why the power is insufficient, it's often because they chose the entry-level model. I recommend beginners prioritize the 1.6T SQRF4J16 model, as it performs well overall, with low fuel consumption and smooth acceleration. The repair manual clearly specifies the specifications for each model to avoid installing the wrong parts and causing delays.

I'm a regular Tiggo 8 owner, driving the 1.6TGDI model SQRF4J16 for two years now. It has sufficient power and is very fuel-efficient. When I bought the car, I compared it with the 1.5T version SQRE4T15C and felt the acceleration was slower; the high-end model has the 2.0T type SQRF4J20, which had amazing thrust during the test drive but isn't suitable for daily city driving. Choosing an engine model depends on your needs—the 1.6T offers a balanced and cost-effective option. There are no major issues in daily driving, just occasional checks on the filters and fuel lines.

Many car owners have inquired about the engine models of the Tiggo 8. The common SQRE4T15C is used for the basic 1.5T version, which is economical and practical; the SQRF4J16 1.6TGDI is highly efficient and energy-saving, and it's my top recommendation; the SQRF4J20 2.0TGDI focuses on performance, offering greater power and speed. Different versions, such as the Tiggo 8 PLUS, start with the 1.6T model. Understanding these can help you choose the right configuration. The 1.6T model delivers 197 horsepower, providing comfort for city commuting and strong performance on highways. Parameter differences affect the driving experience, so it's advisable to compare the annual updated models in detail when purchasing a car.

Focusing on the evolution of the Tiggo 8 engine, the initial 1.5T SQRE4T15 was later upgraded to the 1.6TGDI SQRF4J16 and the 2.0TGDI SQRF4J20. After testing various models, I found the 1.6TGDI to be the most balanced for daily use, with quick response and reasonable fuel consumption; the 2.0T offers strong high-speed performance but is slightly more fuel-consuming in urban areas. Chery's optimized new engines are quieter and more efficient. Choosing a model depends on driving habits, and it's advisable to avoid older models to prevent maintenance hassles.

More Q&A

What are the reasons for the high fuel consumption of the Tiguan L?

The reasons for the high fuel consumption of the Tiguan: 1. Severe engine carbon deposits: Long-term operation of the vehicle inevitably leads to carbon deposits and sludge during gasoline combustion. If these deposits and sludge are not cleaned in time, it will result in increased fuel consumption. 2. Spark plug failure: The function of the car's spark plug is to generate an electric spark with high voltage to ignite the air-fuel mixture. If damaged, the ignition energy decreases, causing uneven combustion of the mixture, which leads to slower acceleration and increased fuel consumption. 3. Oxygen sensor failure: The oxygen sensor is used to detect exhaust gases. By analyzing the oxygen content data in the exhaust, over time, the oxygen sensor can accumulate carbon deposits, leading to inaccurate data and consequently higher fuel consumption.

What to Do If the Magotan Key Is Lost?

There are two solutions: 1. Go to a 4S store to get a new key: The staff at the 4S store will usually find the corresponding key code based on your car model, then invalidate the lost key code, and finally issue you a new key code. 2. Go to an auto parts market to get a key: The auto parts market can replicate the key code and provide you with a new key code at a relatively cheaper price. Note: When purchasing a car, you may notice a plastic tag on the key with numbers written on it—this is the key code. If the key is lost, you can use this code to request the manufacturer to rematch a new car key.

What Causes Diesel Fuel to Turn Black?

Diesel fuel turning black is generally caused by the infiltration of engine oil into the fuel tank. Physical Characteristics: Flammable and volatile, insoluble in water, easily soluble in alcohol and other organic solvents. Main Classifications: Diesel is divided into light diesel and heavy diesel. Light diesel is used as fuel for diesel engines in vehicles such as diesel cars and tractors. Uses: Diesel is widely used in large vehicles, ships, generators, etc. It is mainly used as a liquid fuel for diesel engines. Diesel has the environmental characteristics of low energy consumption and low pollution. Moreover, compared to gasoline, diesel is cheaper and more economical, which is why some small cars and even high-performance vehicles have switched to diesel.
