[Aika Car Test Drive Original]
On December 18, 1999, the first Chery storm rolled off the production line, and it was from then on that Chery Automobile entered people's field of vision. In the following 22 years of hard work, Chery Group put forward the "big single product strategy" and made great strides all the way, ushering in the threshold of cumulative sales of 10 million vehicles. Among them, the Tiggo 8 family is indispensable, since the "debut" in 2018, whether it is Tiggo 8, Tiggo 8 PLUS, Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+, have played a role in sales. Now, the brand has launched a Tiggo 8 PRO model that focuses on youth and technology, which can be seen as another promotion of Chery Automobile's flagship product in intelligent technology. So how strong is the new car, let's find out through the article.
Summary: The birth of the Tiggo 8 PRO is to attract consumers aged around 30. So we can see that it adopts a completely new design language and draws quite a lot of elements from science fiction movies, which has the radical appearance that it currently presents.
Appearance: The age reduction effect is remarkable
Having seen the appearance of youthful sports, let's move our eyes to the cabin. I have to admit that the new smart cockpit provides no less surprise than the appearance, especially the 24.6-inch curved double screen, which can bring a strong visual impact.
Summary: Chery Tiggo 8 PRO's LION5.0 Lion Zhiyun System has delivered a satisfactory answer at the intelligent level. Rich features and a variety of interactive modes make it easy to use.
Interior: Pull out the high-tech level
Theoretically, the Chery Tiggo 8 PRO is not very large in the category of medium-sized SUVs, but it adopts a 2+3+2 seat layout, which can't help but make people look forward to its spatial performance. Especially the third row of seats, whether it is just a decoration or a great use, let's look down together.
Summary: The first two rows of the vehicle are more prominent, but the third row can only be regarded as decent, and from the experience point of view, it seems to be more suitable for emergency use. However, in terms of storage, the Tiggo 8 PRO is strong and almost maximizes the use of space.
Space: Well integrated
The tail tag of the test drive model is 390T, which shows that it uses the Kunpeng power that Chery Automobile is proud of. In fact, the power system is not unfamiliar to everyone, after all, it has long been installed on the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng version of the model.
◆ 0-100km/h acceleration test
Summary: The Tiggo 8 PRO's "desire to perform" in terms of power output is still very strong, and it will react positively as soon as it catches the signal from the accelerator pedal. As for the acceleration performance of 0-100km/h, if it replaces a tire with stronger grip, I believe the performance can be further improved.
Dynamic: Dynamic response
◆ 100-0km/h brake test
◆ Winding pile test
Editor's comments: In the past two years, the momentum of Chinese brands climbing upwards is particularly obvious, and many car companies have launched medium-sized SUVs with good comprehensive strength. The arrival of the Tiggo 8 PRO can be seen as a high-level product in science and technology and intelligence of Chery Automobile at this stage. In my opinion, the young design language, the 24.6-inch curved double screen and the blessing of the 2.0T power and intelligent four-wheel drive system will become the point where this new car attracts young consumers. If its price range after listing is consistent with the previous exposure of 120,000-150,000 yuan, then there is still a strong competitiveness.
Dynamic: Poor steering response
