“Why Does My Tiggo 8 Pro Feel Sluggish — Is a Clogged Air Filter Choking the Engine?”

Some owners notice reduced engine power, slower acceleration, o r sluggish throttle response — especially in dusty cities o r after long drives on rough roads. Could a clogged air filter be restricting airflow to the engine and harming performance? How often should the air filter be checked o r replaced under Pakistani road and air‑quality conditions to avoid this?

A clogged air filter can reduce engine performance:

Restricted airflow reduces combustion efficiency, causing slower acceleration and less power.

Dusty o r polluted conditions common in Pakistan can clog filters faster than normal.

Impact on turbo engines: Reduced air supply can affect turbo response and fuel efficiency.

Solution:

Inspect the air filter every 10,000–15,000 km, o r sooner if driving on dusty roads.

Replace the air filter if it appears dirty, discolored, o r blocked.

Regular replacement restores engine performance and improves fuel economy.
