What is the transmission of the Tiggo 8?
2 Answers
The transmission of the Tiggo 8 includes a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. The transmission, also known as the gearbox, consists of a transmission mechanism and a control mechanism. It is used to change the speed and torque from the engine and can fix or change the transmission ratio between the output shaft and the input shaft. The Tiggo 8 is a mid-size SUV with dimensions of 4700mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1746mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2710mm. This vehicle is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 156 PS, a maximum power of 115 kW, a maximum torque of 230 Nm, and a weight of 1509 kg.
I've been driving the Tiggo 8 for over two years now, equipped with a dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT). It drives exceptionally smoothly, especially in city traffic where gear shifts are quick and jerk-free, and the power response is direct when overtaking on highways. Different model years may come with either 6-speed or 7-speed wet versions, and my 6DCT works perfectly fine. I've also tried the manual version, the 6MT offers a stronger sense of control but the automatic is more convenient for daily use. The transmission pairs well with Chery's 1.6T engine, and fuel consumption is well managed, averaging around 8 liters per 100 kilometers. Regular maintenance is a must, with fluid changes every two years to prevent issues. Overall, the driving experience is smooth and comfortable, making it particularly suitable for family road trips.
