Chery Automobile has always been a more controversial company among its own brands, and its sales performance has always been tepid. Compared with other mainstream domestic brands, there is a certain gap; on the other hand, In terms of technical performance, it is well-known domestically and even abroad as the "technical flow" of domestically-made cars.
In May of this year, after the launch of the new Tiggo 8, the sales volume rose all the way, and the sales volume exceeded 10,000 in just three months. It has officially entered the "Golden Nine and Silver Ten" in the domestic automobile market. "After that, compared with some domestic auto companies that have been affected by the market, Chery's sales have not only increased steadily, but Tiggo 8 has been the main sales model, and has delivered very beautiful results.
Chery Automobile is actually the first echelon of domestically-made autonomous vehicles. Whether in the past or Hyundai, the Chery brand has always been in the minds of domestic consumers. Good impression, but because Chery is devoted to developing various independent technologies and lacks in marketing. Therefore, it has been surpassed by other brands such as Geely, Great Wall, BYD and other brands in the field of independent cars. In addition, as the brand premium capabilities of independent cars continue to increase, the flagship models of each brand have begun to continuously follow the sales and popularity of the brand. More high-end models, the Great Wall P8 is priced at 280,000, and BYD’s Tang is as high as 360,000. In contrast, Chery’s models do not seem to have changed much in this regard.
With the latest debut of Chery Tiggo 8, with its excellent appearance, hard-core mechanical configuration, high-energy dynamic turn signal, touch-type keyless entry body design, double Some configurations such as the real exhaust throat and through-type LED smoked black taillights are still very attractive to some consumers on the market who are fond of domestic models.
The most critical point about Chery Tiggo 8 is that its price is not too high, and it is relatively approachable. The entry price of 120,000 can be bought by domestic manufacturers. Self-produced, it can be called the first-class third-generation ActEco 1.6TGDI engine. The brand-new 1.6TGDI engine has been changed from the past. Tiggo 8 only has 1.5T engine options, which is called a "maverick pull cart" problem by consumers.
One of the hot spots that domestic consumers pay attention to the brand-new engine of Tiggo 8 is that it has very beautiful book data, 197 horsepower, 290 Nm, compared with this data The 2.0T engines of some joint venture brands are not inferior. In addition, Chery provides a 6DCT gearbox in the transmission system, so the performance of the power performance is very abundant.
Chery adopts a platform modular production method on this third-generation ActEco series engine, and applies aluminum alloy cylinder blocks and the latest iHEC (intelligent effect) combustion system to the engine for faster response The technology of turbocharging, direct fuel injection, and rapid heating cooling system can make it out of the country VI, and the performance is still very powerful.
After Chery launched this new model and engine, many people think that the new Chery third-generation ActEco 1.6TGDI engine has a maximum torque of 2200 rpm. After that, the vehicle will have a strong sense of frustration in the low-speed area. For the daily use of the car, it is necessary to keep a huge turbo lag. The car experience will be a bit unsuitable for commuting in the city. This is definitely a bit inevitable.
In fact, in a certain sense, Chery Tiggo 8 is a landmark model of Chery Automobile, whether in appearance, interior, The mechanical configuration and chassis suspension are very careful. This model can represent a powerful and low-key model of Chery's own brand.
For Chery Tiggo 8, many owners may think that the suspension is hard, but this is obviously a compromise made by Chery Tiggo 8 in order to adapt to this new 1.6T engine and 6DCT gearbox during the production process. In fact, manufacturers can make the gearbox very soft and comfortable, but this will cause the driving experience and handling of the car to be greatly weakened, and there will be a feeling of powerlessness after the end, steering support and ESP performance.
In fact, Chery launched this Tiggo 8 to a large extent to give domestic consumers an additional choice. After all, at a price of over 100,000, you can buy a car like this A good family SUV is already very good for many ordinary consumers. This is also the reason why Chery's Tiggo 8 can easily hand over 10,000 sales transcripts after it is launched on the market.
