I've been researching Chery models for a while. The Tiggo 8 is equipped with Chery's own ACTECO series engines, commonly available in 1.5L turbocharged and 1.6L turbocharged versions. The 1.5T version delivers about 156 horsepower and 230 Nm of torque, offering quick response for daily driving with good fuel consumption control—around 8L/100km in urban areas. The 1.6T is more powerful, with 197 horsepower and 290 Nm of torque, providing stable high-speed overtaking and strong acceleration without uncomfortable vibrations. These engines utilize advanced thermal management technology, achieving a thermal efficiency of over 37%, with minimal startup vibration and excellent long-term durability. Compared to the Haval H6's 1.5T, Chery's tuning is smoother, with better NVH noise suppression, making the ride quiet and comfortable. The transmission options include a 6-speed dual-clutch or 7-speed DCT, with intelligent shift logic that adapts well to various road conditions. However, the engine compartment layout is compact, making repairs slightly more challenging, but the parts are affordable and easy to find, making it overall quite hassle-free.

I've been driving the Tiggo 8 for three years now, equipped with the 1.6T turbocharged engine, and the power feels exceptionally strong. For daily commutes in the city, a light press on the accelerator brings quick response, with smooth acceleration and no hesitation. Even in stop-and-go traffic, it doesn't feel frustrating. The fuel consumption is satisfying, averaging 8.5L/100km, and dropping to just over 7L on long trips, making it both economical and practical. On the highway, the engine noise is low, and paired with the well-insulated cabin, family trips with music and conversation are undisturbed. Occasionally tackling mountain slopes, the engine never showed any lack of power, demonstrating top-notch stability. The newer models now offer a 1.5T option, said to be even more economical, but my model has clocked nearly 50,000 kilometers with just regular oil changes and minimal maintenance issues. Overall, this engine makes the Tiggo 8 quite reliable and worth its price.

From a user perspective, let's talk about the Tiggo 8 engine, which uses Chery's 1.5T or 1.6T engine. Having driven several SUVs, I find this one quite sturdy and durable in comparison. The low-end torque output is sufficient for city commuting without feeling underpowered, and it performs reliably during highway overtaking. Fuel consumption averages 8-9L/100km, demonstrating good economy. The turbo kicks in early, avoiding noticeable lag. Routine maintenance is straightforward, with minor services every 5,000 kilometers at reasonable costs. The engine's reliability is commendable—a friend has used it for five years without major repairs, though the oil warms up a bit slowly during cold starts. Noise control is well-managed during driving, ensuring no intrusive humming affects comfort. The overall design favors maintenance with strong parts commonality, making it easy to address minor issues.

I usually drive the Tiggo 8 for grocery shopping and commuting. The engine is the 1.5T turbocharged model, which runs smoothly and effortlessly. It responds quickly with a light press on the accelerator, unlike high-displacement cars that consume more fuel, and it has lower fuel consumption in stop-and-go city traffic. It maintains stability and quietness during highway cruising, with minimal engine vibration, making long trips less tiring. With enough power for family trips and no struggle on uphill climbs, it's practical. Maintenance is simple, with an oil change at the 4S shop costing just a few hundred yuan. After over a year of use, it hasn't had any issues, starting smoothly without delay. The interior design complements the engine noise control well, making conversations in the car quiet and comfortable. Overall, this engine is practical and worry-free, suitable for family users, unlike some luxury cars that are troublesome to maintain.

What to Do If a Gasoline Car is Filled with Diesel?

If a gasoline car is filled with diesel, to avoid engine damage, it is best to drain all the fuel from the tank, clean it thoroughly, and then refill with the appropriate oil for the vehicle. Here is some relevant information: 1. Studies have shown that if the proportion of diesel added to gasoline does not exceed 5%, it generally does not cause significant damage to the engine. However, as the proportion of diesel increases, knocking and stalling may occur quickly, and in severe cases, it can lead to cylinder scoring. 2. The working conditions of gasoline engines differ from those of diesel engines. Gasoline has a lower ignition point, and gasoline cars typically ignite the air-fuel mixture via spark plugs, with lower cylinder pressure. Diesel cars, on the other hand, compress diesel fuel through a fuel injection pump to produce high-pressure diesel, which is then injected into the cylinder via the fuel injector, resulting in higher cylinder pressure, rougher operation, and larger clearance gaps. Therefore, the requirements for oil differ between gasoline and diesel engines. Gasoline engines require thinner oil with better fluidity, while diesel engines operate under higher pressure and harsher conditions, producing more carbon deposits, thus requiring oil with stronger cleaning capabilities, larger clearances, and thicker viscosity. Hence, gasoline cars should not use diesel engine oil.

What are the hazards of gear skipping to the vehicle?

Reasonable gear skipping is acceptable and will not cause any adverse effects on the car. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. As long as it does not cause back-gearing (i.e., after upshifting, the gear is too high, the engine speed is too low, feeling acceleration obstruction often accompanied by body shaking, and in severe cases may even cause the engine to stall). 2. It does not cause dragging (i.e., after downshifting, the gear is too low, the mechanical force of the gear causes the vehicle to suddenly decelerate, like stepping on the brake). Extended content: 1. When decelerating for sharp turns, at higher speeds, you can decelerate before turning and directly shift from 5th or 4th gear to 3rd or 2nd gear, then turn at low speed. 2. After climbing a steep slope to the top, followed by a large downhill, you can directly shift from 1st or 2nd gear to 3rd or 4th gear, without giving throttle, and coast downhill in gear.

What is the reason for the high exhaust temperature warning light?

It is likely due to the idle switch not closing. When the idle contact is disconnected, the ECU determines that the engine is under partial load. At this time, the ECU determines the fuel injection quantity and injection time based on the signals from the air flow sensor, crankshaft position, and engine speed. The exhaust temperature warning light in modern cars is higher due to the installation of a three-way catalytic converter. Here is additional information: Car indicator lights: The engine fault indicator light is labeled as CHECK ENGINE or MIL. It has two states and indications: one is a constant light, indicating that there is a fault in the engine's electronic control system; the other is a flashing light, indicating that the fault is still affecting some performance of the engine.
