2 Answers
Tiggo 8's engine is produced in Chery's engine production base, equipped with a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine delivers 156 horsepower and a maximum torque of 230 N·m, achieving maximum power output at 5,500 rpm and maximum torque output between 1,750 to 4,000 rpm. The Tiggo 8 is a mid-size SUV under Chery, with body dimensions of 4,700 mm in length, 1,860 mm in width, and 1,746 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2,710 mm.
I'm particularly passionate about delving into the origins of car engines. The engine of the Tiggo 8 is largely self-produced by Chery, primarily manufactured in several large factories in Wuhu, Anhui. From Chery's early days of introducing foreign technology to the launch of its self-developed Acteco series in 2003, the transformation has been remarkable. The Wuhu factories utilize fully automated production lines, with the design process handled locally. The resulting 1.5T or 1.6T engines are both powerful and fuel-efficient, offering smooth daily driving without issues like strange noises or overheating. Domestic engines have made significant progress, unlike a decade ago when minor problems were common. Chery also exports these engines to foreign markets, maintaining strict quality control. My confidence in Chinese manufacturing continues to grow, making local brands a more reliable and cost-effective choice when buying a car.
