I've tested a few Chery cars powered by Kunpeng and basically didn't disappoint me in terms of power performance. With the gradual promotion of the use of hybrid technology, the enthusiasm of car buyers in the market for buying a hybrid model is increasing day by day, and many manufacturers have also launched corresponding models for consumers to choose. Today to talk about, is Chery Automobile in the recent sale of the plug-in model Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+, the official guidance price of 15.18-16.58 million yuan, a total of two configurations, today we will come to see whether this car is worth ordering, if you want to buy which configuration is more suitable?
Cheaper than 34,000 yuan, no BYD Tang new energy "can be installed", but better than in the fuel saving
The Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ can be seen as a plug-in version of the Chery brand's current high-end mid-size SUV model, the Chery Tiggo 8 PLUS, which is priced at 12.49-16.99 million yuan. This hybrid system adopts a 1.5T generator with dual motors, matching the power combination of the 3-speed DHT transmission, with a maximum power of 240kW and a peak torque of 565N·m. This power system can meet the power output of the vehicle in different working scenarios through the three engines and the gearbox. Compared with the mainstream hybrid system on the market, the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ hybrid system is in the first echelon.
The length, width and height of Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ are 4722 * 1860 * 1747mm, the wheelbase is 2710mm, in addition to the height is slightly higher, other places and the fuel version of the Tiggo 8 PLUS are completely consistent, that is to say, the new car is fully in line with the mainstream level of a medium-sized SUV in terms of space performance, which is enough to meet most of the household needs.
If you decide to buy a Chinese brand plug-in hybrid medium-sized SUV because of the economy of car maintenance in the later stage, or if you want to get a green card, BYD Tang New Energy is a car that most people will consider. Here we compare the plug-in hybrid version of Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ year-on-year with Attitang New Energy. In order to get close to the mileage, we chose the 165,800 yuan TIGGO 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ 2022 PHEV 1.5T style e+ to compare by BYD Tang New Energy's sub-entry model, the 2021 DM-i 112KM Premium model priced at 199,800 yuan. Through comparison, it is not difficult to find that although the price of Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ is 34,000 yuan lower, in addition to the slightly shorter pure electric mileage, the overall power performance will be better. Not only is the parameter performance more eye-catching, but the technology will also be more advanced.
In the purchase of new energy models of consumers are more concerned about the fuel saving capacity of this piece, Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e + is better, according to the official NEDC 100 km comprehensive fuel consumption, it only needs 1L / 100km, BYD Tang New Energy performance is also good, the official 100 km fuel consumption of 1.2L / 100km. However, for consumers who buy medium-sized SUVs are more concerned about the space performance of this piece, Tang New Energy seems to have more advantages, its length and width performance are better than Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+, in the wheelbase is also 110mm longer, positioned as a 7-seat model it is also more suitable for the "big family" than the 5-seat Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+.
In terms of configuration, BYD Tang New Energy is also better than Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+, not only more comprehensive driving assistance functions, but also better performance in comfort configuration and intelligent technology configuration, not only has seat ventilation, mobile phone wireless charging, electric trunk and other functions, as well as NFC Bluetooth key, remote driving, transparent image and other configurations. It is indeed much higher than the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ in terms of configuration, but the cost of 34,000 yuan more for this does not seem so worthwhile.
On the whole, the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ does not make people feel very "amazing". But compared to friends, it is lower in price, the power performance is better, or more worth buying.
The high-end version is more worth buying, 14,000 expensive, and the safety and comfort are upgraded
So how should consumers choose between the two configurations currently listed in the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ The difference between the two models is 14,000 yuan, of which the low-end version of the 2022 PHEV 1.5T urban e+, the official guidance price of 151,800 yuan, the high-end version of the 2022 PHEV 1.5T style e+, the official guidance price of 165,800 yuan.
Under the difference of 14,000 yuan, the high-end version has improved in safety configuration, driving assistance functions and comfort configurations compared with the low-end version, such as the safety configuration of high-end models with more front and rear exhaust curtains and front side airbags, driving assistance, high-end models use 360-degree panoramic images, while low-end models only have reversing images. Comfort configuration, high-end models also have more seat power adjustment and heating functions than low-end models. And the number of voice control systems and USB interfaces also performed better on high-end models, and the audio was upgraded to Sony's 8-speaker sound system.
From the perspective of the whole comparison, high-end models are indeed more worthy of recommendation. Under the premise of 14,000 yuan, the safety configuration + the comfort of the seat has been greatly improved, and the value of these pieces has been "worth the fare", as for the power tailgate, 360-degree panoramic image and other functions, it can even be counted as "extra gifts".
summary:
For consumers who want to buy Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+, my purchase advice is as follows, if you want to buy a plug-in hybrid medium-sized SUV, it is still worth recommending, although it is not very eye-catching in the configuration, but there are still certain advantages in price and power performance. As for which configuration to buy, I recommend the high-end version currently on sale, compared to the low-end version, although the high-end model is 14,000 yuan more expensive, but the safety configuration and comfort configuration have been comprehensively improved. In the life of using a car, it will be more "handy" to drive and use, and it is indeed more recommended.
