The wave of electrification is coming, and the sales of the traditional oil car Tiggo 8 remain high, how did it do it?

In recent years, the domestic automobile market has almost become the "world" of new energy vehicles, they have attracted the attention of many young users through high-tech and intelligence, but the high price has dissuaded some users with limited budgets, although the development to this day, new energy vehicles have also begun to fight the "price war", but the configuration of high cars, still not cheap.

In this way, there is also a glimmer of hope for traditional fuel vehicles, the Tiggo 8 is a mid-size SUV owned by Chery Automobile, in December, it sold 16,765 units, and the previous Audi Q5L volume is not far behind. Under normal circumstances, self-owned brand new energy is more popular, so how does Tiggo 8 do it as a traditional fuel vehicle?

First of all, from the point of view of the price, Tiggo 8 as a medium-sized car, the price guidance range is 97,800 yuan to 162,900 yuan, the lower starting price is easy to attract the attention of some users with limited budgets, thereby increasing the transaction rate of the vehicle, and the Tiggo 8 is now sold 18 cars covering 5-seat version and 7-seat version, which can meet the needs of users with different needs. Next, let's take the 24 Tiggo 8 as an example to see how this car performs.

The 24 Tiggo 8 retains only the 1.5T model in terms of power, with a maximum output of 115kW, and the book parameters are considerable in the same price range, which can meet the needs of daily households, according to the difference between manual and automatic, the transmission mechanism is also divided into 6MT and 6DCT. After a test drive of the Tiggo 8 2024 Glory Edition 230TCI Automatic Excellence Edition 5-seater, I think the car can give 8 points in terms of driving experience, after all, it is a pure fuel version of the model, without the assistance of the electric motor, the front will be more meaty, and the acceleration after the speed comes up there is still a feeling of pushing the back.

The steering wheel with electronic assistance, very light at low speeds, heavy at medium and high speeds, helps to enhance the driver's driving confidence, whether it is driving on a straight road or a winding road, the stability is good, the vehicle does not understand the driver's intentions when passing through large undulating sections, the gearbox does not upshift when going downhill, the engine noise is louder, and there will be a louder sound transmitted to the cockpit. In terms of chassis, the 24 Tiggo 8 is equipped with front MacPherson + rear multi-link independent suspension as standard, and the chassis tuning is stiff, which is very supportive when passing through the cornering section, but when passing through continuous speed bumps, the shock filtration is poor, and the rear personnel can feel the obvious bumpy feeling.

In terms of appearance, the 24 Tiggo 8 is still quite different from the old car, the dot matrix grille is blackened, the full headlights and the daytime running lights at the front surround are lit to enhance the aggressiveness of the front face, and Chery's logo is located in the center of the grille to show the identity of the vehicle. Due to the price, the adaptive high and low beams are not given, but the whole system is equipped with LED light sources as standard, which Tiggo 8 keeps up with the trend. The intermittent waistline and continuous rear taillights are also reflected in the car, giving it a more modern feel. The 18-inch twin five-spoke wheels have a unique shape, and although they don't adopt the contrasting style that is popular at the moment, they still have a sporty feel.

The Tiggo 8 measures 4700/1860/1746mm in length, width and height, with a wheelbase of 2710mm, which is not satisfactory for a mid-size SUV. The 7-seater version of Tiggo 8 adopts a 2+3+2 seat layout, users with a height of 180cm sit in the front row and have more than 1 fist of activity space, the seats in the second row are short, the support for the legs is insufficient, and at the same time, there is only more than 1 fist of space from the front seat, for people with strong figures, it is not very easy to sit in the third row, and the experiencer sits in the third row, and the head and legs are 3 fingers free, so the third row is only suitable for children or emergencies. With the same body size, the ride experience of the 5-seater version is much better than that of the 7-seater version. Under normal circumstances, the trunk volume of the 5-seater version can reach 889L, and the volume of the rear seats is doubled, so there is no problem for moving, while the 7-seater version can only fit a 20-inch suitcase.

Summary: One of the reasons for the high sales of Chery Tiggo 8 is its pricing, the guide price of the 24 entry version is 109,900 yuan, and there are additional discounts at the dealer (according to different regions, the discount is not the same), and the product camp of the car is relatively rich, 7-seat version, 5-seat version, manual transmission, automatic transmission and other options to users, users with different needs can find their own version here. Of course, the most important thing is that the Tiggo 8 is closer to the mainstream consumer aesthetics in the upgrade and upgrading, and the exterior and interior are constantly being updated, so it can achieve high results.
