The CHERY TIGGO 8 is making its debut in the UK, and it’s set to shake up the seven-seat SUV market. With prices starting from £28,545, this model blends practicality, high-tech features, and attractive styling in a package designed for modern family life.
Designed for UK Roads
Developed with input from Chery International’s European R&D centre, the CHERY TIGGO 8 has been fine-tuned to handle Britain’s demanding roads. It offers two trim levels – Aspire and Summit – each loaded with premium features. Customers can choose between a petrol-powered 1.6-litre TDGI engine or the Super Hybrid plug-in variant.
Power and Performance
The 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine delivers 147 PS and 275 Nm of torque, accelerating from 0-62 mph in 9.8 seconds with a 118 mph top speed. The Super Hybrid combines petrol and electric power for 745 miles of WLTP range, including 56 miles on electric only. It reaches 62 mph in 8.5 seconds and emits just 31 g/km CO₂. Fast charging from 30-80% takes only 20 minutes, making it ideal for busy lifestyles.
Spacious and Flexible Interior
Inside, the CHERY TIGGO 8 provides 5+2 seating and over 66% space utilisation efficiency. Folding the rear seats expands cargo capacity to an impressive 1,930 litres. This makes it perfect for everything from family holidays to transporting sports equipment.
Technology and Comfort
Every CHERY TIGGO 8 comes with a 15.6-inch Quad HD touchscreen, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, wireless phone charging, and advanced driver assistance systems. The Aspire trim offers heated comfort seats, dual-zone climate control, and an eight-speaker SONY audio system. Summit models raise the bar with a panoramic sunroof, head-up display, heated and ventilated seats, and a 12-speaker SONY system for an immersive audio experience.
Safety and Assistance
Safety features include a 540-degree camera, Adaptive Cruise Control, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Traffic Jam Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. These technologies help reduce stress on long journeys and provide extra reassurance in busy urban environments.
Strong Value and Warranty
Both versions come with a 7-year/100,000-mile warranty, plus an 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty for the Super Hybrid. With a growing dealer network and attractive pricing, CHERY is positioning the TIGGO 8 as a serious contender in the UK SUV market.
Summary
The CHERY TIGGO 8 offers British buyers a rare combination of space, technology, performance, and value. Whether chosen in petrol or hybrid form, it delivers a premium experience at an accessible price.
