The original wheel test drive Tiggo 8 PRO is younger, more scientific and more luxurious.
With the listing of Tiggo 8 PRO in May this year, the Tiggo 8 family has formed a rich product matrix consisting of Tiggo 8, which focuses on power, Tiggo 8 PLUS, which focuses on fuel saving, and Tiggo 8 PRO, which focuses on technology. As the sales force of Chery and the star model in the independent medium-sized SUV market, the Tiggo 8 family has attracted much attention, and four products with different positioning are very eye-catching in their respective market segments. Not long ago, the Tiggo 8 PRO was pre-sold for 6 hours, and the order broke 30,000.
From the price point of view, the positioning of Tiggo 8 PRO is higher than that of Tiggo 8 and Tiggo 8 PLUS. On the basis of the advantages of the latter two, it further enhances the strength of science and technology and is called the flagship of science and technology. Recently, Brother Gu tested the Tiggo 8 PRO in Shangri-La, experienced its intelligent technology in Tibetan customs, and felt the fierce collision between traditional culture and advanced technology.
Younger sports, more technology and more luxury.
Although the positioning of the four products in the Tiggo 8 family is clear, for consumers, I am afraid they still don’t know how to start when it comes to specific choices. Compared with Tiggo 8 and Tiggo 8 PLUS, the characteristics of Tiggo 8 PRO can be summarized as younger sports, more technology and more luxury, which are the main differences from the previous products.
The first is the design of younger sports. The Tiggo 8 PRO adopts a completely different style from other models in the family. The air intake grille is larger and more open, and the mesh structure is dot-matrix design, which is more digital than the fashion star dot-matrix design of the Tiggo 8 PLUS. Headlights on both sides are connected by a chrome-plated visual strip, which runs through the grille. The shape of the front bumper has been redesigned, which is more integrated with the front grille, and the irregular cooling vents on both sides have also brought a strong digital effect.
The side of the car body is almost the same as that of the Tiggo 8 PLUS, and the shape of the wheel hub is slightly adjusted, keeping the overall fashion and dynamic. The tail design is closer to that of Tiggo 8, both of which are through taillights, but the shape is slightly different, and the shape of the rear bumper and exhaust pipe has not changed much. In terms of size, the Tiggo 8 PRO is the longest car body in the Tiggo 8 family, reaching 4745mm, so it will look more atmospheric in visual effect, while the car width, car height and wheelbase are consistent.
If the difference in design is only to improve the recognition of various models, then the difference in intelligent technology can best reflect the upgrade value of Tiggo 8PRO. It comes standard with a new generation of lion zhiyun Lion5.0 system, built-in with a new generation of high-performance car-level AI chips, and provides functions such as face recognition, non-inductive login, full-time wakeup-free multi-mode voice interaction, etc. On the whole, it has more functions and faster response. Of course, this is not enough to prop up the name of its flagship technology, so the Tiggo 8 PRO also has a 24.6-inch curved dual screen and Chery’s first W-HUD interstellar flying head-up display function.
Finally, there is luxury. When you enter the Tiggo 8 PRO car, you can not only feel a strong sense of science and technology, but also have a sense of luxury brought by wooden decorative boards, metallic speakers, large-area leather cladding, skylight atmosphere lights, the second row of shared entertainment smart screens, SONY 10 Yang surround sound and other configurations.
Focusing on the three key words of youth, technology and luxury, Tiggo 8 PRO provides consumers with a more valuable and "super-cup" medium-sized SUV choice, which is also of great significance to the Tiggo 8 family.
Kunpeng Power is as good as ever.
In terms of power selection, Tiggo 8 PRO provides 1.6TGDI/2.0TGDI engines. The test drive model of Brother Gu is a 2.0T four-wheel drive version, with a maximum power of 254 HP and a maximum torque of 390 Nm. It is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox and equipped with a Chery full-scene intelligent four-wheel drive system. This version of the power configuration is also available on the Tiggo 8 PLUS, which is the highest specification power in the Tiggo 8 family. Whether it’s this 2.0T four-wheel drive or other Kunpeng power, Brother Gu has tried it, but he still experienced different aspects of this power in this test drive in Shangri-La.
Our test drive route has many complicated road conditions, from the north bank of Napahai to the south bank, and then from low altitude to high altitude to Baima Snow Mountain Pass. It is not uncommon to drive around the lake and mountains, bend, accumulate water and climb. When passing through the corner, the supporting performance of the Tiggo 8 PRO body is satisfactory, the roll is not big, and the body shaking of the rear passengers is small, which is acceptable for people who are prone to carsickness. On the day of the test drive, it was rainy, the road was slippery, and there were even many stagnant roads. Fortunately, the tires equipped with the Tiggo 8 PRO had good grip, and the intelligent four-wheel drive system also made us still confident when passing through the stagnant road at a high speed, and basically did not feel the slippage. Finally, the climbing section, the most eye-catching part of the 2.0T engine should be the acceleration ability in the middle and rear section, so the strong power needed for climbing can be given quickly, and the process of speed increase, turbine reaction and torque explosion is completed in one go. Of course, this is also indispensable for the four-wheel drive system.
Under these three road conditions, the performance of Tiggo 8 PRO is remarkable, which also shows that although it is a home SUV, it can also take into account some more extreme road conditions. On the whole, through this test drive, Brother Wheel found that the motivation and training of Tiggo 8 PRO actually had no obvious movement or comfortable direction, giving people a feeling that it was more in between. In the city, it is a conscientious family car, the power output is not radical, and it is even a little weak at the beginning, but when the speed comes up, you can get all the acceleration pleasure you want, and this process will still be based on comfort; Jumping out of the circle of the city, with strong power and four-wheel drive blessing, it can take on the responsibility of crossing mountains and seas.
It is understood that Tiggo 8 PRO will also launch a version equipped with Chery Kunpeng DHT hybrid system, from which we can also see the high-value positioning of Tiggo 8 PRO in the Tiggo 8 family. At present, Tiggo 8 PRO has been on the market for more than a month, and the market attention is still very high. After all, its appearance can be said to make the Tiggo 8 family look brand-new. More fashionable design and advanced technology further enhance the young and intelligent image of the family.
