3 Answers
Tiggo 8 offers two powertrain models, equipped with a 1.5T high/low-power engine and a 1.6T turbocharged engine respectively. Here are the expanded details about its engines: 1. Power: The 1.5T low-power engine has a maximum power of 108kw and a maximum torque of 210 Nm, the 1.5T high-power engine has a maximum power of 115kw and a maximum torque of 230 Nm, and the 1.6T turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 145kw and a maximum torque of 290 Nm. 2. Transmission: The 1.5T engine is paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 1.6T engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving the Tiggo 8 for over two years now. It most commonly comes equipped with Chery's 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, specifically the SQRE4T15C model, which delivers 156 horsepower. The power is quite sufficient for city driving, and it doesn't let you down on the highway either. The average fuel consumption is around 7 liters per 100 kilometers, which is much more fuel-efficient than some joint-venture cars. It handles my daily routine of dropping off and picking up the kids from school or weekend outings without any issues. For regular maintenance, it's important to change the engine oil and clean the intake system, as turbocharged engines are prone to carbon buildup over time. I recommend owners to invest in higher-quality engine oil to extend the engine's lifespan. Overall, the car feels sturdy and durable.
As someone who frequently works on cars, I must say the Tiggo 8 uses either the Chery SQRE4T15C 1.5T or SQRF4J16 1.6T engine, depending on the model year. The 1.5T version delivers 156 horsepower with smooth power delivery but slightly slower acceleration; the 1.6T version boosts output to 197 horsepower for stronger acceleration. Maintenance costs are reasonable, parts are readily available, and I recommend using full synthetic 5W-30 oil. Common minor issues include sensor failures or carbon buildup blockages, so it's advisable to inspect the intake system every 5,000 km. For fuel consumption, the 1.5T averages 7-8L/100km in city driving, making it suitable for daily commuting.
