The size of the car is 4825/1870/1758mm with a 2830mm wheelbase. The SUV features a high shoulder line and a roofline that slopes towards the rear. The window for the third row almost looks like a triangle and this only adds to the styling.

The X8 Plus rides on 19-inch dual-five-spoke wheels as standard.
It looks like the entire front is covered by the grille. However, it is the LED lighting setup that gives out that illusion. The car features a split headlamp set up with the actual headlamps flanking the grille.
The two headlamps are connected by an LED strip. The grille features white elements that add to the overall character of the SUV. The bottom half of the front looks fancy with a nice little lower lip in the bumper.
At the rear, the bumper gets a dual-tone design with faux exhaust tips flanking the skid plate.
The interior adopts a dual 12.3-inch screen design and a four-spoke steering wheel. The colorful ambient lights create a warm interior atmosphere. The seats are covered in white leather material.
The center console comes with two cup holders and a rotary gear shifter.
In terms of safety, the Sehol X8 Plus is equipped with the HOL-Pilot level 2 driving assistance system that comes with millimeter-wave radar.
The Sehol X8 Plus is powered by a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine that pushes out 181hp and 300Nm, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch unit.
