Chery Tiggo 8 PRO -Hybrid PHEV

【Most Satisfied】
1. High cost-effectiveness; as a midsize SUV with 7 seats, it is very suitable for my family.
2. Strong acceleration, decent handling, and the assisted driving works well on highways.
3. The interior is generous; not only the areas touched by hands are soft-wrapped, but in fact, most of the entire door and center console are soft-wrapped. The leather seats have good texture and are easy to maintain.
4. Large sunroof, vanity mirrors for both the driver and front passenger (my wife is very satisfied). There are small hooks in the front passenger seat and the second row, which are good details.
5. The sound insulation and audio are good for this price range, in my opinion.

【Least Satisfied】
1. The infotainment system is not easy to use. Many people on forums and online have reported infotainment system crashes and black screens. Although I only encountered it once in recent months, it was quite annoying, and I worry that I will eventually encounter it more often later.
2. The braking experience is really poor when moving at low speeds. If you step lightly, there is no response; if you step hard, it stops abruptly.
3. I can understand not enjoying better and more preferential policies since I ordered the car in February. However, I picked up the car on March 8th, and the agreed trade-in subsidy was supposed to be given to me in about two months, but it still hasn't been implemented in June. The抱枕 (baozhen, throw pillows) and car vacuum cleaner that were said to be赠送 (zengsong, given as gifts) in the contract have also been out of stock and not provided. The small gifts aren't worth much money, so there's no need to be so slow; the experience is poor.

It seems okay so far. Let me summarize the pros and cons. People who like it will naturally like it, while those who don't will infinitely magnify the shortcomings.

Pros:
1. The power is acceptable.
2. Spacious interior.
3. Good interior materials.
4. The chassis is on the comfortable side, suitable for home use like mine.
5. The overall smoothness is good, though there are some minor flaws which I'll mention later.
6. Having driven nearly 1000km, the fuel consumption performance is currently good. However, I charge frequently, so I haven't really tested the fuel consumption when the battery is low. Therefore, if you have a home charging pile, buying this car is completely fine. For those who have trouble charging, I don't have first-hand data and can't comment.

Cons:
1. The problem of steering wheel deviation. I went to the 4S shop three times for this issue, but the first two times were because the after-sales technology was not up to par and the four-wheel alignment equipment was broken. Now it feels okay.
2. When stopping and then slowly starting in urban traffic jams, there is a slight vibration, which feels like the motor starting but shifting gears through the transmission. The vibration is very slight and doesn't affect daily driving; only someone as sensitive as me can feel it a bit. I'm not sure if other electric cars have this situation.
3. There is still the sound of the motor driving, but this is unavoidable when buying an electric car. It might not even count as a缺点, since all electric cars have it. I just hope Chery's engineers can optimize it further.
4. The issue of deletions in the Champion Edition. Although deletions are inevitable with such a large price reduction, I still think some necessary configurations should be provided in the mid-range model, such as the passenger electric seat, full-car ambient lighting (the mid-range only has it in the front), and built-in dashcam. I don't care about the others.

Overall, I'm satisfied. Except for the steering wheel deviation problem, the other缺点 don't really count as problems, especially considering the price has been reduced so much! If you like Chery, I think Chery has technology, and this car is quite recommended!

My Tiggo 5 has driven 220,000 kilometers and never left me stranded on the road. Although it has some minor issues, it is still relatively stable, so I decided to buy another Chery car. I paid close attention to new energy vehicles as soon as they were launched. There were no test-drive vehicles in the store, and my mom booked it during the National Day holiday. I am still quite satisfied so far.

Energy consumption performance: I have driven more than 3,000 kilometers so far and haven't charged much. The power is sufficient, and the fuel consumption is much better than my previous Tiggo 5. I often drive on the highway recently, and the fuel consumption is between 5 and 6.

Driving experience: The overall feel of the chassis is good, but it is on the stiff side, which I can still accept. The engine noise is quite obvious when started! There is a slight jitter when the speed changes between 60 and 70. When the vehicle is in level 2 kinetic energy recovery, the braking is not very linear; it suddenly becomes softer in the middle and needs to be adjusted to slowly.

Exterior design: This depends on everyone's preference. I chose the space gray with brown interior, which I think is耐看! Voice control: The voice command sensitivity is good, good review! The in-car connectivity is stable, much better than my colleague's Passat, thumbs up?! Charging: A home charger has been installed, and it can be fully charged in basically more than 2 hours! The key point to complain about is the tires: the tire width is only 235. In standard mode, if you press the accelerator a bit harder when starting, it basically starts to scratch the tires in place. On rainy days, even in eco mode, pressing a bit harder will cause slipping! The tires are not good enough!
