Specific areas have been accentuated with the use of chrome details. The interior of the Tiggo 8 Pro further impresses and surprises – it is the epitome of luxury and safety. The Chery Tiggo 8 Pro price is highly competitive for an SUV with a host of impressive features like this.

Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Review
Chery’s Tiggo 8 Pro seven-seater, mid-sized SUV arrived in SA in 2022 and it is all that was promised. The top model Tiggo 8 Pro is powered by a 1,6-litre TGDI turbo-petrol engine and powers the front wheels through a seven-speed DCT dual-clutch gearbox (sourced from German firm Getrag) with a power output of 145 kW and 290 Nm. In terms of build quality and driveability – the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro checks all the boxes as the ride is surprisingly smooth and comfortable.
The cabin is impressively luxurious for such an affordable car with lots of usable space and classy finishes. There is ample room for taller drivers without impacting the room for passengers. You get a six-way electrically adjustable driver’s seat, a 10,25-inch infotainment system, dual-zone climate control, an eight-speaker Sony surround sound system, wireless charging, intelligent voice control, and ambient lighting. The interior is uncluttered and the 10,5-inch touchscreen is easy to operate.
The third row comfortably seats two adults and has its own climate control on the Executive model.
What SA Car Experts Say About The New Tiggo 8 Pro
“The Chery felt sure-footed, the driving position good, the steering firm, and we experienced very little body roll when swerving to miss a few potholes. We arrived back in Jozi suitably impressed.”
CAR
“The generous spec and build quality presented by Chery’s newcomer between about R500k and R550k almost defies belief.”
cars.co.za
“The reason I say we like a good deal is because before we get to the driving impressions, at R496 900 for the Distinctive model and with the fully specced Executive coming in at R546 900, you’re getting a lot of car for a very good price.”
