Since its listing in April 2018, Tiggo 8 has become the main sales force of Chery. Subsequently, models such as the Tiggo 8 PLUS and the Tiggo 8 Kunpeng e+ also delivered good answers, helping their overall sales to enter the "500,000-vehicle club", which was recognized in the field of autonomous mid-size SUVs. The Tiggo 8 PRO is about to debut, not only to further enrich the family's product matrix, but also to expand its influence among young people. Let's take a set of real pictures to see how strong the car is.
In terms of appearance, the Tiggo 8 PRO is significantly younger and more dynamic than the previous family model, catering to the aesthetic preferences of the target group. The overall appearance of the front part of the face is hard and sharp, and the new spindle medium mesh is not only considerable in size, but also embedded in the interior of the irregular black mesh filling, and the overall aura has been enhanced. The headlight groups on both sides are cleverly integrated into it, and the LED light source illumination effect does not have to worry. It also adds colored trims to areas such as the front enclosure, thus enhancing its recognizability.
The novelty of the side of the new car is relatively limited, which is basically consistent with the Tiggo 8, and the industrial texture is more prominent. The new style of aluminium wheels is eye-catching and complements the chrome trim at the details.
The Tiggo 8 PRO has a strong sense of rearization at the tail, and the through-line LED taillight group keeps up with the current trend, and the visual effect is good after opening. A total of four exhaust structures on both sides enhance the sport properties, and the rear bar shape has also been slightly changed.
Tiggo 8 PRO is quite similar to Chery OMODA 5 in interior design, and the minimalist style is very attractive. It is equipped with a 24.6-inch dual screen, and although the black frame in the middle is slightly unobtrusive, it does not affect its excellent smoothness and resolution. The car is embedded with the Lion intelligent car machine system, which not only has a rich application reserve, but also has a more accurate and smooth human-computer interaction experience. In addition, automatic air conditioning, panoramic sunroof and HUD head-up display system are all available, which is worthy of recognition in driving experience.
With a length of 4745mm and a wheelbase of 2710mm, the Tiggo 8 PRO is decent for a mid-size SUV. Its seating layout distinguishes between 5 and 7 seats, with the former having a wide space in the front and rear rows, which is more than enough for daily home transportation. The seven-seater version of the model hollows out the back of the front seat, which can give the second row of passengers more range of motion and effectively alleviate the crowding of the third row of seats. Of course, the last row is still stuck to the limitations of "small benches" and is not recommended for adults to sit.
In terms of power, the Tiggo 8 PRO distinguishes between two major types of fuel version and hybrid version, with a total of three different choices. Among them, the fuel version of the model is equipped with 1.6T and 2.0T turbocharged engines, the maximum power is 197 horsepower and 254 horsepower, respectively, the performance performance is more abundant, especially the 2.0T version of the measured zero hundred kilometers acceleration of less than 8 seconds, will be more popular with people. The addition of the Kunpeng DHT hybrid system, together with the "CHERY AWD" Chery full-scene intelligent control four-wheel drive system, helps it become one of the few "steel cannons" in this segment.
Overall, the Tiggo 8 PRO exterior design has been targeted and adjusted, which has a certain appeal to young people. The interior configuration is also a major highlight, and the atmosphere of science and technology is relatively strong. Although the size is not very prominent, the internal space utilization is not bad. With a wide range of power output options, the DHT version will become a sports model. If its starting price is controlled at about 130,000 yuan, then the sales prospect is still worth looking forward to.
