I was slapped! It is no longer said that buying domestic cars in 2023 is the "wrong kind".

Words such as "poor power, high fuel consumption" and "low hedge ratio" are many people's comments on domestic cars. Even in 2023, some people still say, "Why buy a domestic car when the same money can buy a joint venture car?" Are you willing to be wronged? "Domestic cars seem to bear a kind of' original sin'. In fact, like many people, I have shown distrust of domestic cars before.

In my opinion, the development of domestic cars is relatively late. Compared with some overseas brands, the development time is decades less. This gap is unlikely to be caught up. After all, we are developing and others are developing. Most importantly, there are hundreds of patents for thousands of automobile parts, and most of these patents are in the hands of overseas brands and capital. To develop domestic cars, it is necessary to pay patent fees and be controlled by others, or to bypass patents and develop independently.

Finally, apart from the core technology, the overall assembly technology and manufacturing technology of domestic automobile brands seem to be inferior to those of overseas brands. For a simple example, after the same engine and gearbox are assembled on a domestic car, the power performance may still be different from that of a joint venture car. All in all, I always think that domestic cars will not overtake in the field of traditional fuel vehicles except the new track of new energy.

However, with the in-depth understanding of domestic car brands and the driving experience of domestic cars, my ideas have changed a lot and even subverted my point of view. The strength of independent brands such as Hongqi, Great Wall, Changan and Chery has been continuously improved, and they all have their own housekeeping skills. Chery automobile, in particular, impressed me deeply. The export sales volume of Chery passenger cars ranks first among independent brands in China. When we questioned Chery, people already had a reputation overseas.

The confidence of vehicle lifetime warranty comes from strong comprehensive technical strength.

By chance, I heard that Chery Tiggo 8 PRO can enjoy the lifetime warranty and quality service of the whole vehicle, so I thought, what kind of domestic car can have such confidence? I decided to personally experience and drive this car Chery Tiggo 8 PRO. It was this experience that completely subverted my cognition. I think my previous evaluation of domestic cars was really "sitting in the well and watching the sky" and I was slapped by myself.

The first time I saw this car, I was attracted by its appearance. After understanding, this car is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, which adopts the "time-space matrix" design, highlighting a sense of the future. The front face has a large lattice grid, which is sharp and impactful. The dimensions of length, width and height are 4745, 1860 and 1745mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 27 10mm, which is 12mm longer than Volkswagen Tiguan L. The body lines are smooth and tough, and the gas field is full. It is hard for me to imagine that this is just a model with a guide price of 126900- 174900 yuan. I think its sense of advanced is not lost to the 300,000-class joint venture model.

Entering the car, I was instantly impressed by the luxurious atmosphere. Intelligent cockpit equipped with Lion 5.0 AI technology, with cosmic nebula immersed around the screen, 24.6-inch integrated LCD dual screen, which is a true curved screen with a curvature of 3000R, leading the industry; It has an industry-leading AI emotional super interactive system, equipped with Xiaoqi Intelligent Car Butler 5.0, and realizes the evolution of full-dimensional AI artificial intelligence of the whole vehicle; There is also the Galaxy Surrounding Atmosphere Light Group pioneered by Chery, which is the most scientific and technological atmosphere light group at the same level, including the center speaker atmosphere light, the super canopy atmosphere light and the stepless color-changing temperament atmosphere light. When I was driving this car, the feeling of sitting in it was almost the same as sitting in a 500 thousand Mercedes.

There is plenty of room in the car. In addition to the 5-seat model, there are 7-seat models to choose from. Even in the 7-seat version, adults can easily sit in the third row. The second and third rows can be flat, just like a big bed. The co-pilot has exclusive access to the Queen's car. On the basis of "exclusive close-fitting luxury leather seat" and "freely adjustable aviation head pillow", it is equipped with seamless electric leg rest+pneumatic back massage+convenient foot rest to protect the waist, neck and knees, and enjoy SPA-level massage anytime and anywhere. I like this function very much. I don't have to buy a massage chair for this car.

What impressed me the most was the power and technology configuration of Tiggo 8 PRO. My demand for power and technology configuration is relatively high, and the Tiggo 8 PRO can meet my needs to a great extent. This car is equipped with ten engines of "China Heart"-Kunpeng Power 1.6TGDI engine and Kunpeng Power 2.0TGDI engine, of which the maximum horsepower of 1.6T engine is 197, while the BMW X3 low-power 2.0T engine I was driving before was only/KLOC.

Kunpeng 2.0T engine is more powerful, with a maximum horsepower of 254 horsepower, which gives drivers great confidence in both acceleration and high-speed power reserve. Compared with joint venture models such as Volkswagen Tiguan L and Toyota Highlander at the same level, this car is absolutely ahead in power.

In addition, Tiggo 8 PRO has L2.5 intelligent driving assistance, covering full-speed ACC adaptive cruise system, ICA integrated cruise assistance, TJA traffic congestion assistance, LDW lane departure warning system, RCTA traffic blind spot warning after reversing, etc. 15 function experience is not lost to mainstream intelligent electric vehicles such as BYD and Tesla. It is also equipped with the Chery AWD full-scene intelligent four-wheel drive system jointly developed by Chery Automobile and ZF, which can realize the free switching of six driving modes of economy, ordinary, sports, snow, mud and off-road, and easily cope with various difficult road conditions.

After the Chery Tiggo 8 PRO experience, I felt very ashamed, because my previous understanding of domestic cars was too one-sided. Taking the champion family of Chery Tiggo 8 as an example, it won the sales champion of China brand medium-sized SUV and 7-seat SUV in 2020/202 12022, and successively won the 3 1 champion and12 product honor, which won the love of over 600,000 users at home and abroad. Chery has demonstrated its hard power to the whole world, and I am still questioning domestic cars, which is really wrong. Whether it is power, fuel saving, space, or scientific and technological intelligence, Tiggo 8PRO is the leading level in the industry, and its cost performance far exceeds that of joint venture models of the same level. Coupled with Chery's excellent service, how can it not be loved by people? I admit I was slapped! It is no longer said that buying domestic cars in 2023 is the "wrong kind".
