Written before the test drive: the car is really good, and the shooting is really difficult, because the color used in this test drive is called "interstellar flagship green", as to why the color is related to the stars, we will talk about it later, but this color is really advanced. Give a little sunlight is brilliant, where the light is good, you see it is green, where it is darker, where there is less light, you see it is black. This sense of layering, high-grade, and freshness is not found in the same class of cars, and it is also rare on models that are much more expensive than it.
As an important product series of Chery Automobile, the Tiggo 8 family has been recognized by the market since its listing in 2018, with its strong strength, and has won the double sales champion of Chinese brand mid-size SUVs and 7-seatER SUVs in 2020 and 2021, with cumulative sales of more than 480,000 vehicles worldwide, and has achieved good results in dozens of countries around the world such as Egypt, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Chile, and Brazil, which is also in line with Chery Automobile's original intention of "creating a best-selling global home SUV".
From the perspective of product positioning, Tiggo 8 focuses on Gujia pragmatic, Tiggo 8 Kunpeng edition focuses on aggressive and decent, Tiggo 8PLUS focuses on stability and luxury, and Tiggo 8 PRO focuses on young fashion, with obvious positioning distinctions and market segments.
This time, the model we test drove is Chery Automobile's Tiggo 8 PRO, which is more youthful in shape and richer in intelligent configurations for the post-90s families who pursue a new life of science and technology.
Fashionable appearance strong recognition
The appearance of the Tiggo 8 PRO is not a small change compared to the Tiggo 8 and Tiggo 8 PLUS, using Chery's new family design elements. First of all, the front face of the large area of the net looks full of momentum, the interior of the use of black matrix type intake grille, officially called "space armor matrix grille", on both sides of the grille is not like most of the models on the market using chrome decoration, but the use of two LED lights to bring embellishment, especially the entire "energy particle LED technology headlights", effectively enhance the sense of science and technology of the vehicle.
If you ignore the dot-matrix grille in the middle and let the edges on both sides of the grille combine, you can get an "X" shape, and friends who like science fiction movies should be able to see some elements of interstellar movies from it, which is very futuristic.
From the side of the car, the front of the car is angular, and the double waistline design and the silver chrome trim below give the side a sporty posture in stability.
The rear of the new car adopts the now popular through-type taillights, which echo the horizontal interstellar orbit taillights and the headlights, and the recognition is very good after lighting up at night, which not only effectively improves the lateral viewing angle effect of the rear, but also makes the entire tail blend in, giving people a more comfortable visual experience.
In addition, the new car also adopts three different exhaust methods according to the different models, while chedegang test drives this 2.0T model with bilateral four-out exhaust, and the 1.6T model uses bilateral two-out exhaust.
New interior design More abundant configuration
In the interior part, Tiggo 8 PRO has also carried out a new design, using THE LION 5.0 AI technology smart cockpit, which creates a very good sense of technology and conforms to the aesthetics of contemporary young people.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing in the car is the 24.6-inch integrated LCD curved double screen, the curvature reaches 3000R, and the resolution of this dual screen is very clear, and the internal integration of 360 ° panoramic image, AutoNavi map, sing bar, iQiyi, weather, Huawei Hicar, CarPlay, roadside assistance and other rich APP, in the use of the process is also very smooth.
In addition, the new car is also equipped with Chery's first W-HUD interstellar flight head-up display, so that the driver can see the driving status, ADAS signal, entertainment, navigation and other required vehicle information without turning his head, effectively improving driving safety.
In terms of intelligent driving assistance, Tiggo 8 PRO is equipped with L2.5 intelligent driving assistance system, including 15 driving assistance functions such as door blind zone collision warning, lane keeping, full-speed ACC adaptive cruise, lane change assist, automatic emergency braking system, traffic congestion assist system, speed limit sign detection and active reminder, lane departure warning, etc., so that drivers can easily face various road conditions.
In addition to these intelligent configurations, the Tiggo 8PRO is also equipped with a number of practical configurations, such as voice control, face recognition, gesture recognition, driver status recognition interaction, panoramic sunroof, front keyless entry, one-click start, leather steering wheel, electric trunk, remote start, second row shared entertainment smart screen, SONY audio, Queen's car and other rich configurations.
Among them, the Queen's car is the first for Chery Automobile, providing freely adjustable headrests, electric leg rests, back pneumatic massage, and convenient foot rest functions, which can enjoy such a configuration at this price, which shows that the strength of Tiggo 8PRO has crossed the level.
It is worth mentioning that the Tiggo 8 PRO has a length, width and height of 4745/1860/1745mm and a wheelbase of 2710mm, which has more space advantages than its class because it is a 7-seater model. From the spatial performance of the second row, it can be seen that both comfort and space are very good, and the seats are wide and supportive.
Occasionally, when there are many people, the third row can also be used urgently, a short meal, participate in an activity, 5 people to 7 people, there is no need to drive two cars or hit two cars, both to save money and reduce emissions, which is a must for short-distance travel. It may not be used several times a year, but when it is needed, it has, which is the bottom line.
When the third row is not used, it can be reclined, and the second and third row seats can be reclined 100% flat, which gives you more space in the trunk. Specifically, the whole car offers 12 flexible and variable combinations of space, and as many as 40 storage spaces, which are rare in the same class.
Powerful and comfortable chassis
In terms of power, the Tiggo 8 PRO is equipped with Chery's self-developed "Kunpeng Power" 2.0TGDI engine, with a maximum power of 187kW and a peak torque of 390N·m, matching a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. This combination of power allows the vehicle to have a good power performance, especially when overtaking at high speeds, the power reserve is very sufficient.
In the chassis adjustment, Tiggo 8 PRO is more home-oriented, in some bumpy sections can have a good filter, give you a comfortable feeling, and the new car's wind noise, tire noise control is very good, in the vehicle low speed driving almost can not hear the noise outside the car, after the speed of more than 80 kilometers per hour, the wind noise will gradually increase, in the same level of products in the upstream level.
Tiggo 8 PRO is also equipped with Chery's all-scenario intelligent control four-wheel drive system, with high ground clearance and excellent chassis tuning, the general bad road is like walking on the ground for it.
