Meet with Phoenix Tigo 8 Pro car executives; Expert review, driving experience, facilities, price

Online Economy – Roozbeh Rad; Modiran Khodro Company, which announced the launch of this product last year, is now gradually unveiling its new family long chassis, and in this regard, has provided prototype Phoenix Tigo 8 Pro to journalists and experts to test and Check them out. Based on this, the online economy car team has also closely studied the Phoenix Tigo 8 Pro.

Design review of Tigo 8 Pro

Chery first unveiled the largest member of the Tigo family in 2018, with a face design much like the MVM X55. This design style did not look very attractive and sporty at the time, so Chery designers took the pen and gave the Tigo 8 a more luxurious and aggressive look. Thus, a new product called Tigo 8 Plus or Pro was created, the shape of the front and rear areas of which was completely different from the regular Tigo 8 and, of course, more pleasant.

In the front view, a large windshield with a so-called diamond or galactic design is used, and the elongated shape of the lights, along with neon lights and integrated turn signals inside the lamp bowl, gives the Phoenix Tigo 8 a much better image than before.

The rear view is also more beautiful than the regular Tigo 8 model and has a lot of adaptation to the face shape. The chrome stripe on the side windows also creates a luxurious and ceremonial mood for the body style of this car.

Upon entering the cabin, you will notice that the dashboard design, like the current routine of many Chinese cars, takes on a futuristic, almost minimalist and modern form, and there are certainly few who object to the dashboard design of this car. In the meantime, the special design of the gear lever and center console is very interesting.

Two large 12.3-inch screens are seamlessly integrated on top of the dashboard, one of which acts as the back panel of the amp and the other acts as the car’s main touch screen. The material used in the dashboard and faceplates is considered relatively desirable, and touching them will not make you feel bad. Regarding the spaciousness of the cabin, it should be said that the second row seats are almost spacious and most adults do not experience much limitation in this area. Of course, the third row seats here are not very spacious and suitable for adult occupants.

When the third-row seats are folded down, the trunk offers a large capacity, provides a very spacious space for users’ accessories, and can well meet the travel needs of a family of five or six.

Technical specifications of Phoenix Tigo 8 Pro

Tigo 8 Pro is sold in global markets with 1.5-liter, 2-liter and 1.6-liter turbocharged engines. But the car management company has decided to use only the 1.6-liter model. At first you might think that 1.6 liters will not provide enough power and torque for a relatively large chassis with these dimensions. But it is good to know that Chery engineers have succeeded in using the turbocharged suction system to increase the maximum output power of this relatively compact engine to about 197 hp and to extract 290 Nm of torque from its heart.

The Phoenix Tigo 8 Pro is a single-differential long-wheelbase chassis powered by a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox to the front wheels. Therefore, one can not expect the desired Aphrodite performance or the level of two-differential models of Hyundai Santa Fe from this relatively luxurious long chassis. However, there are definitely fewer customers to go to difficult Aphrodite routes with such a car.

The official acceleration of the Chery Tigo 8 equipped with a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine is equivalent to 8.9 seconds, which in practice shows a relatively good agility and can drive almost agile as a relatively large chassis for family customers. Provided by Iranians.

In addition, we estimate that the maximum speed of Chery Tigo 8 Pro will reach around 180 km / h and its average fuel consumption in the city and on the road will be around 7.5 liters per 100 km on average.

Amenities and safety of Tigo 8 Pro

It is not yet clear exactly how much equipment Tigo 8 will be offered in Iran, but nevertheless, the most important features that car managers have included in the tested Tigo 8 include the following:

Types of blind spot warning radars, rear-end collision warning radar, shift lane radar, detour radar, front-rear parking sensors, dual automatic air conditioning, panoramic sunroof, 12.3-inch dual digital displays, 360-degree camera, rear and side camera, Keyless entry and start, leather seat covers, front seats with power and memory settings, navigation, electric folding side mirrors, electric tailgate, intelligent cruise control, front seat heater, six airbags Traction control system and stability control Start control systems Uphill movement, downhill speed control system, automatic emergency braking and …

Driving experience with Phoenix Tigo 8 Pro for car managers

From the moment you enter the cabin of the Phoenix Tigo 8 and sit behind the wheel, you will probably be somewhat surprised at the beginning by the relative beauty and luxury of the cabin of this car. Especially if you have ridden the older Chinese models before, you will definitely be a little surprised by the progress of this Chery product compared to its previous models.

The design of the dashboard is quite desirable in terms of ergonomics and the availability of controllers, which are mostly touch, and the driver can easily control all the devices he needs. The graphics and resolution of the screens on the dashboard are also good, and even in the sun, it displays the information with sufficient clarity.

As mentioned in the technical section, the Phoenix Tigo 8 is a relatively agile car, and you can experience the right acceleration and agility in the very first moments of driving. The turbo lag is almost negligible and the engine reacts very quickly to pressure on the accelerator pedal. The steering function is quite smooth, but it may not convey the reactions from the road surface to your hands well, and it will create a bit of a sense of artificiality in the minds of some more professional drivers. But in general, the steering of the car is good, and the driver can hold the steering wheel of this relatively large Chinese car in his hands with the help of a sieve.

The suspension system, due to the long chassis of this car, feels a bit sporty as expected to control the transverse movements of the room as much as possible and to maintain the stability of the car, especially in passing curved paths to a certain extent. The brakes are so strong that they do not empty the driver’s heart while driving at normal speeds and stop this big car from moving in time.

Of course, the presence of an emergency braking system and the presence of advanced radars make the possibility of the car crashing into obstacles to a minimum. In addition, with features such as radar and lane-departure assist, as well as intelligent cruise control, automatic braking and other modern technologies, you can experience the basic level of driving with Tigo 8 Pro car managers, which is unique for Iranian customers. It will be new and interesting.

Conclusion

Phoenix Tigo 8 Pro is one of the most suitable long chassis that car managers could offer to the domestic market at the present time and greatly excite customers. But the noteworthy point is the final price of this product, which is not very clear to us at the moment, and it is said that the price of Tigo 8 Pro will probably be officially more than one billion and 300 million tomans. With this account, it is expected that in the open market, its price will reach more than one billion and 400 or one billion and 500 million tomans. Of course, increasing supply by rival automakers and also stabilizing the country’s economic conditions can affect the market atmosphere and even bring the price of Tigo 8 to less than the factory price, but we have to wait and see what the fate of Phoenix Tigo 8 in the country’s market. Will figure.
