Jianghuai Automobile is also an established automobile manufacturer. Its predecessor was Hefei Jianghuai Automobile Factory, which was founded in 1964. In the early days, it started with the production of various types of trucks and buses. Later, it entered the passenger car market and launched many cars, SUVs and MPV models. Among them, Ruifeng series commercial vehicles have won the title of "MPV of the Year" for many years, and few consumers have recognized it so far. However, in the car and SUV market, JAC's response was flat. However, at this year's Beijing Auto Show, a car named? Si Hao X8' s new car has attracted many people's attention. In May this year, audi ag invested 654.38 billion euros in JAC's parent company, Jiang Qi Holdings, and jointly founded a brand-new brand, the Si Hao X8, which is the first model under this new brand.
In fact, as early as this year's Chengdu Auto Show, this car had already appeared, but it was also called jiayue X8 at that time, and Sihao X8 was its latest name. The reason why this car is compared with the Tiggo 8 is because the prices of the two cars are very close. The official guide price of Sihao X8 is 8.88- 135800 yuan, and the starting price is exactly the same as that of Tiggo 8. Moreover, its positioning is also a medium-sized SUV, with 5-,6-and 7-seat versions for consumers to choose from. It can be said that the launch of the X8 is the most important.
First of all, from the appearance, the design of SiHao X8 is absolutely radical. The front face adopts a large air intake grille and a straight waterfall net, and the interior is concave and convex, which has a strong three-dimensional effect. Looks like Maserati. The upper part of the split headlight group is long and narrow, and the daytime running lights and turn signals are integrated inside, which looks murderous. The internal structure of the lower part of the integrated optical cavity is also exquisite. Several high-profile models also provide LED light sources, and automatic headlights and headlights are turned off with delay. If viewed from the front, the front of the car looks like a shark with its jaws open, which has great visual impact.
Sihao X8 has a length, width and height of 48151870/1758 mm and a wheelbase of 2830 mm Although they are all medium-sized SUVs, Sihao X8 is much larger than Tiggo 8 (the length, width and height of Tiggo 8 are 4700/1860/66 respectively). Therefore, from the side, Sihao X8' s figure is particularly stocky, with a straight waistline extending from the front fender to the taillights. The black plastic decorative plates on the wheel arches and side skirts enhance the overall hard-core effect, and the Y-shaped two-color five-spoke rim is also very dynamic. At the rear of the car, the Sihao X8 adopts a very popular through taillight design, which is very three-dimensional, surrounded by a large area of black at the bottom and chrome-plated exhaust ports on both sides. However, these two exhaust ports are only for decoration, and the real exhaust pipe is hidden under the car.
When I got on the bus, objectively speaking, this set of interior of Sihao X8 is not very innovative, with simple and fashionable style as the mainstay, and the design is quite satisfactory. In addition, its configuration is not very rich. One-button start, keyless entry, leather steering wheel, full LCD instrument panel and automatic air conditioning are all relatively basic functions at present, which are only available in mid-range and above models. Safe and comfortable configurations such as front and rear head airbags, parallel line assistance, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, active braking, front and rear radars, electric induction trunk, seat heating, etc. only exist in two high-profile models. To be honest, I personally think this car is not very competitive in configuration.
In terms of space, like Tiggo 8, Sihao X8 offers three layouts of 5/6/7 seats. Thanks to the wheelbase of 2830mm, its ride performance is still satisfactory. The second row of seats can be adjusted back and forth, and the third row is not particularly cramped. And the seat is wider, but the padding is harder. In terms of power, the Sihao X8 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 184 horsepower and a maximum torque of 300 Nm. The parameters are still very good, matching the 6-speed manual or 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The compact and exquisite electronic shift lever has a good grip. The chassis part adopts front McPherson independent suspension and rear torsion beam dependent suspension, which is not as real as Tiggo 8.
Summary: Backed by the public, Jianghuai is now full of confidence and officially opens the "Sihao brand era". In the future, jiayue A5, jiayue X4, jiayue X7 and other models will also be transferred to the Sihao brand. However, as far as this Sihao X8 is concerned, except for its huge size and radical appearance, there are no outstanding highlights in other aspects, and it is still at a disadvantage compared with the Tiggo 8. In addition, Chery's brand influence is definitely far beyond. (Image quoted from car home)
