First of all, the patent figure clearly mentions the low-cost high-gloss injection grating. Pay attention to the word "low cost". Similar grille outline, there are old Tiggo 5x and current Tiggo 8. By careful comparison, it can be found that the lower part of the chrome-plated bar can be seamlessly docked with Tiggo 8. In fact, except for the chrome-plated "Kouga", the grille is replaced by a diamond-shaped hollow shape, and the position of the front license plate frame is the same, and everything else is almost the same. The only big change is the profile of the auxiliary air inlet. The design of crouching tiger's teeth was completely abandoned, and it was changed to ordinary louver type. At the same time, the chrome-plated decorative strip connected with the fog lamp frame will be cancelled. It seems that the modification of this low-cost scheme focuses on some decorative parts.
Pay attention to one detail at the same time. There is no reserved port for millimeter-wave radar with ACC adaptive cruise control at the auxiliary grille, which indicates that the ADAS level may be adjusted accordingly. Of course, this is only the original patent application drawing, not the real thing, and maybe the high version will be kept.
▲? Tiggo 8 is now available.
At present, it is only a patent application drawing, and it is not easy to draw a conclusion whether it will be formally adopted. At least there is no sign of any change in the catalog application diagram, even on the test car of the actual road test. However, from one side, Chery still has some ideas on the storage of new and old Tiggo 8. The new model goes on the market, and the old model also wants to keep it, and at the same time, it wants to be refurbished in a fancy way, so replacing the air intake grille is indeed a faster modification plan.
As for the * * * storage of the current Tiggo 8 and the new Tiggo 8Plus version, it is certain (of course, from the configuration level, the positioning of the Plus version is obviously higher than that of the current Tiggo 8), but if the * * * storage is only improved in terms of power, it will obviously make consumers lose interest (there is no way to look at their faces), so some corresponding adjustments to the appearance will lead to a low-price adjustment plan. Presumably, everyone still remembers that the Haval H6, which was just declared last month, is also the precipitation of new and old products. The strategies of the old models are exactly the same, and they are all seamlessly connected to modify the inner frame of the air intake grille. It can be seen that everyone's ideas are actually similar. At the same time, when the new model goes on the market, the old model will enhance its competitiveness through grille modification, at least it will enhance its visual competitiveness, and the price paid is almost negligible.
