About the Chery Tiggo 8
The Chery Tiggo 8 is a mid-size crossover that serves as a cornerstone of the brand's international growth, offering three-row versatility at a highly competitive price point. The 1.6-litre TGDI 'Kunpeng' engine is a highlight of the range, providing a significant performance boost over the entry-level 1.5-litre units while maintaining respectable efficiency. Inside, the 2025 model features a heavily digitised cockpit with dual 12.3-inch screens and a suite of Level 2 driver assistance systems. While it prioritises family comfort and equipment levels over outright driving dynamics, its refined DCT and independent rear suspension make it a competent long-distance cruiser.
