I won't say much about the appearance of the real car this time. After all, it is a test car based on the old Tiggo 8. Note that in the red circle above, a big hole is dug in the straight grille, and the fast and slow charging interface is put, which shows the true identity of the new energy. Of course, if it is really mass-produced, it will not be done. Now Chery's follow-up new car starts from the front fender, in order to maintain the integrity of the front grille.
What attracts the author's attention is the hub part. Like the last exposure of the exhibition car, the wheel hub protrudes a lot and the tire size is larger, which makes the Tiggo 8 fuller. Of course, knowing that the production car is not like this, this detail change is obviously problematic.
You can see the forearm at the rear wheel, and the black battery pack is in front. Although the definition is not good, but notice that there is no exhaust pipe and muffler, which means that this is a pure electric car and has nothing to do with the plug-in hybrid version. After these basic judgments are completed, you can continue the following analysis. In short, it is certain that this is a Tiggo 8EV version.
In the signboard of the test car, it is also mentioned that it is T 18EV, which is the project number of Tiggo 8. At the same time, pay attention to the Chinese characters of "Forward-looking Technology Research Institute", which shows from another side that this car is really based on technology research and development, not to say that Tiggo 8 will launch this model. For Chery, although there used to be a test car with Ricky X 1 wheel motor version, the project ended in failure. The Tiggo 8 distributed drive test vehicle is developed based on the existing mature technology. Although it is still mainly testing, once the relevant technologies pass the test, they will be officially promoted. Therefore, the significance of this test car is still quite significant.
Quite unexpectedly, I accidentally photographed the shape of the hub motor. Look at the degree of wear of the hub motor cover. I really ran for a while. Of course, the specific technical analysis can be omitted. Professional things can be left to professional people to analyze. First of all, it must be clear that the distributed four-wheel drive system is not a four-wheel drive model, but the drive motor is placed in four wheels, so it is called distributed drive. Of course, if all four wheels are equipped with drive motors, the possibility of four-wheel drive mode is not ruled out.
As can be seen from the above figure, there is no light gap between the brake disc and the hub at the rear wheel, indicating that the rear wheel is likely to be equipped with a drive motor. Looking back, it is equivalent to the original display car, and the label is 4X? The word EV, 4X obviously stands for four wheels, which is similar to 4X4 of four-wheel drive. In addition, note that the above picture inadvertently discharges to the battery pack suspended on the chassis; In this way, it is very possible to realize four-wheel drive in mode selection mode. Of course, it is mainly the hub motor, which is the top priority of the test car. Next, it depends on when Chery will achieve mass production. Be optimistic, maybe the next generation of Tiggo 8 will be realized (not too far away, it should be seen in two years).
