In recent years, independent brands, like mobile phone products, like to use Pro and PLUS and other ways to name. After the launch of the Chery Tiggo 8, there is the Tiggo 8 PLUS, and recently, more information about a new model of the Tiggo 8 Pro was exposed, and it is believed that it will be launched within the year.

1. New cars are positioned higher
2. The configuration has been adjusted
3. Provide 7-seat layout and four-wheel drive system
This time the Tiggo 8 Pro and the previous PLUS are derivatives of the Tiggo 8, positioned as medium-sized SUVs, the body size is basically the same, but the price range of the main attack is different. The Tiggo 8 Pro has body dimensions of 4745/1860/1745mm and wheelbase of 2710mm.
In terms of appearance, since all three cars have the same architecture, the lines on the side of the body of the Tiggo 8 Pro are completely consistent with the Tiggo 8 and PLUS, except that the front and rear of the car are completely different shapes, and provide red decorations to embellish.

In contrast, the front face of the Tiggo 8 Pro uses a new headlight and bumper shape, as well as a large blackened mid-mesh, and the taillights are through-line design. The overall feeling is more high-end and domineering.
Although there is no new car news in the interior, the change of the interior shape is more difficult than the appearance, so it is expected that the interior design of the Tiggo 8 Pro will be roughly the same as the Tiggo 8 PLUS, and the main difference is made in the configuration.
The Tiggo 8 Pro can be equipped with a front camera, microwave radar, skylight, and front radar, seven of which are not available in the Tiggo 8 PLUS.
Exterior trims are available with door handles without shiny strips, side door trims, body-to-color rear spoilers, front bumper up and down trims, front fog lamp trims, and wheels of different shapes. In addition, the new car is equipped with a car event data recording system.
In terms of power, the Tiggo 8 Pro will be equipped with two engines, 1.5T and 2.0T, with a maximum power of 197Ps and 254Ps respectively, and the transmission system is expected to match the 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
The 2.0T model offers a four-wheel drive system, which is the same as the Tiggo 8 PLUS, while the Tiggo 8 has only two-wheel drive in its entire range.
The 1.5T engine previously installed on the Tiggo 8 and PLUS only has a power of 156Ps, and this time the 1.5T engine power of the Tiggo 8 Pro is the same as the former's 1.6T engine.
From the above changes, it can be seen that the positioning of the Tiggo 8 Pro may be higher than the first two. Reference Tiggo 8 is priced at 9.58-168888 thousand, and Tiggo 8 PLUS is priced at 124,900-169,900, so the starting price of the Tiggo 8 Pro is expected to start at 130,000.
Medium-sized SUVs in the range of 120,000-180,000 have mainstream choices such as BYD Tang, Changan UNI-K, and Geely Haoyue.
165,800
Compared with the Tiggo 8 Pro, BYD Tang also provides a 7-seat layout, more space, with a 6AT gearbox, but the power of the 2.0T is not as high as the Tiggo 8 Pro, and only one configuration and front drive are optional.
14.59-18.49 million
New energy: 17.69-19.29 million
The exterior and interior design of Changan UNI-K is a major highlight, and the whole series is equipped with a power combination of 2.0T+8AT as standard, and the price of the plug-in Blue Whale iDD hybrid is not high.
10.36-14.26 million yuan
Geely Haoyue's price is the cheapest, the space is also large, there are 5 and 7 seat layouts, the whole series provides 1.8T and front drive, the low match is 6AT high match is 7DCT, and the fuel consumption performance of the dual clutch will be better.
If you count the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ plug-in hybrid version, then in the range of 100,000-200,000 medium-sizeD SUVs, the Tiggo 8 series accounts for 4 models, and other brands in the same level do not have so many derivative models.
This strategy of "having more children and fighting" was first proposed by Chery, and the advantage is that it can fully penetrate the market segment, but it will also be difficult for consumers to distinguish between product differences and the inner volume of their own models. I believe that Chery is already relatively rich in the experience of coordinating this contradiction.
