Chery's cumulative sales reached 640,000 vehicles last year, an increase of 46.3% year-on-year, and the reason for the strong rebound is more because of the success of the Tiggo 8 series in the market. The entire series received 160,000 sales last year, which is undoubtedly the number one in the house. For such a cash cow, Chery naturally wants to dig the depth of the product line, so after the Tiggo 8 PLUS, the Tiggo 8 Pro is also in the state of the arrow on the string, and it is expected to be officially listed in the near future.
First of all, looking at the shape of the new car, because it is the same platform and the same product line, there will naturally not be much difference in design. The front face is still Chery's family design language, the large size grille is filled with multiple dot matrix decorations, and the two side headlights integrate "L" type daytime running lights, with the light strips on the left and right sides of the grille, after lighting, it can maintain a fairly good recognition during the day and night. In addition to this, to highlight the youthful atmosphere, the lower enclosure is decorated with a silver trim.
The side lines are basically exactly the same as the Tiggo 8PLUS, and it takes a stable and mature route. In terms of size, the Tiggo 8Pro is 4745*1860*1745mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2710mm, which is positioned as a medium-sized SUV.
The rear of the car is still designed with through-line taillights, and the internal light group has been readjusted to better show the sense of refinement. But then again, doesn't this taillight style feel a bit similar to the Haval H6? And the placement of the word "CHERY" below is also the same as that of the Great Wall, which inevitably makes people feel a bit redundant. After all, the appearance of Tiggo 8 and Tiggo 8PLUS are good, and there is no need to learn from others.
The interior uses the latest design language of the family, the center console has become more concise, the physical buttons in the car have been eliminated, and even the functional areas under the air conditioner are in the form of touch. I can't tell if such a radical design is good or not, but it does take the sense of technology in the whole cabin to the next level. At the same time, the official announcement is that the double screen in front of the screen size reaches 24.6 inches, and the car machine system will also usher in an upgrade. In addition, the addition of a new three-frame steering wheel and electronic gear handle undoubtedly makes the interior of the Tiggo 8Pro more in line with the current consumer aesthetic.
In terms of power, from the declaration information, it can be known that Chery Tiggo 8Pro will be equipped with 1.6T and 2.0T engines, with a maximum horsepower of 197 and 254 horses respectively, and the transmission system will adopt a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and provide four-wheel drive models. If this car can be recognized by the market after it is listed, it is not excluded that it will be equipped with Kunpeng DHT hybrid in the future.
summary
In the past, Cherykong had a skill but could not be displayed, in the final analysis, it was because the product design lagged behind the times, too many straight male aesthetics and engineers thinking in it, the first impression score was deducted a lot, the appearance of the interior can not be satisfactory under the premise, and how many people will go to the store to understand it deeply? This problem has been preventing Chery from rising from the second-tier camp to the first-tier camp. But fortunately, starting from the Tiggo 8 series, Chery began to realize this problem, and began to work hard in this regard, and sales began to rise visibly. Not only that, Chery also decentralized this set of designs, driving the sales of Tiggo 7 and Arrizo series to rise. Now that the Tiggo 8 Pro is ready to go, we will see if it can help the brand sales to another level.
