Tiggo 8 can reach a maximum speed of 190 mph on the highway. Introduction to the exterior of Tiggo 8: The Tiggo 8 offers a spacious interior that surpasses that of joint-venture compact SUVs, and its exterior design is quite imposing. It is not only affordable and spacious but also fuel-efficient. The side profile looks increasingly youthful, with dimensions reaching 4700/1860/1746 mm and a wheelbase of 2710 mm, making it a standard mid-size SUV. The rear features a popular full-width LED taillight design that enhances the horizontal visual effect. The taillights incorporate a patterned LED design, adding a touch of sophistication and elevating the vehicle's perceived premium feel. Introduction to the interior of Tiggo 8: The interior of the new Tiggo 8 has undergone a dramatic transformation compared to the old model, adopting the trendy floating central control screen design, which significantly improves both mainstream appeal and a sense of premium quality. The use of piano black trim and chrome accents is also well-balanced, making the new Tiggo 8's interior more dynamic compared to the previous model.

I previously drove the Tiggo 8 on the highway, the 1.6T version could reach just over 200 km/h when flooring the throttle, and the body remained very stable. However, the 2.0T version is more powerful, with some car owners testing it to exceed 210 km/h. But honestly, the speed limit on domestic highways is 120 km/h, so there's no need to pursue such speeds—safe driving is the key. The transmission is a dual-clutch, which offers high shift efficiency at high RPMs, and the electronic system will automatically cut fuel to protect the engine. You also need high-speed tires; the one I drove had 235/55 R18 Giti tires.

The Tiggo 8 has been driven at home for over three years, with several long-distance trips. The 1.5T manual version couldn't exceed 190 km/h when the throttle was fully pressed, and the body started to feel unstable. The 2.0T automatic version was tested in the uninhabited area of Xinjiang, showing 210 km/h on the dashboard but actually 203 km/h according to GPS. It's important to note that the factory-fitted all-season tires have a speed limit mostly around 210 km/h, and exceeding this speed significantly increases tire load. In fact, the car's ACC adaptive cruise is most fuel-efficient at 120 km/h, and becomes more fuel-consuming beyond that speed.

After studying the power data of the Tiggo 8: The 1.5TCI engine paired with a 6MT can reach a top speed of 190 km/h; the 1.6TGDI + 7DCT combination can achieve 200 km/h; the new 2.0T version, thanks to its 187kW power, theoretically exceeds 210 km/h. However, in reality, the actual top speed is affected by the drag coefficient of 0.33 and the vehicle weight of 1.5 tons, resulting in a lower real top speed. Special reminder: The factory-matched Continental UC6 tires have a speed rating of 240 km/h, but braking distance will significantly increase when speeding.

Compared to the high-speed performance of other SUVs in the same class, the Tiggo 8's 2.0T Kunpeng version does have an advantage. The turbo delivers peak torque at 4500 rpm, providing good high-speed acceleration capability. However, be aware of the wind noise from the body, as the A-pillar whistle becomes noticeable when exceeding 180 km/h. The front suspension is a MacPherson strut structure, and the steering becomes heavier at high speeds. It is recommended not to continuously exceed the speed limit, as the official data is based on specific test track conditions. During my tests in the Qinghai Gobi, the speed decreased by about 3% for every kilometer increase in altitude.

As an experienced owner of the Tiggo 8, I'd like to share some insights: The engine power is adequate but don't expect sports car performance. The 1.5T version struggles near its top speed of around 190 km/h, while the 2.0T with launch mode performs slightly better. However, continuous driving above 160 km/h for half an hour triggers both oil and coolant temperature warnings. The stock brake calipers are dual-piston, requiring over 70 meters to stop from 200 km/h. For highway cruising, maintaining 100-120 km/h is safest given this family SUV's higher center of gravity.

More Q&A

Why does the AC automatically turn on when defrosting the front windshield?

The reason why the AC automatically turns on when defrosting the front windshield may be related to using warm air for defogging. Reasons for the AC automatically turning on: The AC refers to the air conditioning compressor, while the car's warm air is not provided by the compressor. Therefore, the AC does not operate when using warm air. In winter, when defogging with warm air, if the front windshield defogging function is activated simultaneously, the car's system will automatically engage the compressor. Some vehicle systems even have a memory function—if the warm air and front windshield defogging were used together previously, the system will remember this setting and automatically activate the compressor the next time warm air is turned on. Principle behind the AC automatically turning on: Window fogging occurs due to high humidity inside the car, where moisture in the air condenses on the windows when it meets cold surfaces. The car's warm air comes from the engine's heater core, and the air heated by the heater core tends to be warm and humid. To quickly defog the interior, dry air is needed. When the AC compressor operates, it has a dehumidifying effect—air cooled by the compressor becomes dry, and after being heated by the heater core, the air delivered into the cabin becomes both dry and warm. Blowing this dry, warm air onto the front windshield achieves better defogging results.

Where is the ABS sensor located on the tire?

ABS sensors are located on the inner side of the car tires and can be seen when the car is lifted. There are three types of ABS sensors: linear wheel speed sensors, ring-type wheel speed sensors, and Hall-effect wheel speed sensors. How ABS works: During braking, the ABS system quickly determines the wheel lock-up state based on speed signals from each wheel speed sensor. It closes the normally open input solenoid valve on the wheel that is starting to lock, maintaining constant braking force. If the wheel continues to lock, the normally closed output solenoid valve opens, rapidly reducing braking pressure on that wheel by allowing brake fluid to flow directly back to the reservoir, preventing complete wheel lock-up due to excessive braking force. This keeps the braking condition at the optimal point (20% slip ratio S), achieving the best braking performance and maximum driving safety. Functions of ABS: Maximize brake efficiency, reducing braking time and distance. Effectively prevent vehicle skidding and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring good driving stability. Allow steering during emergency braking, providing good steering control. Avoid violent friction between tires and the ground, reducing tire wear.

What does the maximum speed of a car mean?

Car maximum speed refers to the highest driving speed that a car can achieve on a well-leveled road surface (concrete or asphalt), which is the speed when the driving resistance and driving force are balanced under windless conditions on a flat road surface. The maximum speed is measured in the last 500 meters of a 1.6-kilometer-long test section, with four round trips conducted to obtain the average value. A car is defined as a non-track vehicle powered by an engine, equipped with four or more wheels, primarily used for transporting people and/or goods, towing vehicles that carry people and/or goods, and for special purposes.

What type of adhesive is used for car windshields?

Polyurethane sealant is used for the installation of car windshields. Polyurethane sealant is a high-strength, high-modulus, adhesive-type polyurethane multi-purpose sealant. It is a single-component, room-temperature moisture-curing adhesive with high solid content, excellent weather resistance, and good elasticity. During and after the curing process, it does not produce any harmful substances and does not contaminate the substrate. If the windshield is not installed properly, the adhesive on both sides of the windshield may not bond tightly with the glass. For example, during high-speed driving, wind may enter the gap between the windshield and the car body, leading to increased noise inside the vehicle. Additionally, when driving on bumpy roads, you may feel a rattling or impact sound from the front of the car. After replacing the windshield, it takes one to three days for the adhesive to fully cure. During this period, to prevent air or water leaks, avoid washing the car for three days. After three days, remove the tape securing the windshield position. Drive smoothly, avoid sudden braking or rapid acceleration, and try to avoid excessively bumpy roads to prevent the windshield from shifting. Keep the maximum speed below 80 km/h. For the first three days after replacing the rear windshield, do not open the windows to prevent the rear windshield from shifting due to wind pressure. Also, avoid inserting parking permits or other cards into the gap between the front windshield and the dashboard.

What is the horsepower of the Yuchai 4105 engine?

Yuchai 4105 engine has 136 horsepower. Advantages of Yuchai engines: The advantages of diesel engines are high torque and good economic performance. The working process of a diesel engine is similar to that of a gasoline engine in many ways, with each working cycle also going through four strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. However, since diesel engines use diesel fuel, which has higher viscosity than gasoline and is less prone to evaporation, and its auto-ignition temperature is lower than that of gasoline, the formation of the combustible mixture and the ignition method are different from those of gasoline engines. Principle of diesel engines: Diesel engines generally use turbocharging technology. Turbocharging technology can increase the intake air volume of the engine without increasing the engine displacement, thereby enhancing the engine's power. Turbocharging technology has been widely applied in automotive engines. A turbocharged engine has a turbocharger, which consists of two parts: a compression turbine and an exhaust turbine. The compression turbine and the exhaust turbine are connected by the same shaft. The compression turbine is connected to the intake manifold, and the exhaust turbine is connected to the exhaust manifold. When the engine reaches a certain speed, the exhaust gas has sufficient energy to drive the exhaust turbine to rotate. As the exhaust turbine rotates, the compression turbine also rotates, compressing air and delivering it into the engine cylinders. The increased air volume in the cylinders, combined with a corresponding increase in fuel injection, enhances the engine's power.
