The Chery Tiggo 8 is a series of three-row mid-size crossover SUV produced by Chery under the Tiggo product series.[5] It is positioned between the smaller Tiggo 7 and the larger Tiggo 9. A more upclass variant with an updated styling called the Chery Tiggo 8 Plus was launched in 2020, which is marketed as the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro in overseas markets. Another newer variant with an altered styling called the Tiggo 8 Pro was introduced to the Chinese market in 2022.

Tiggo 8

The production of Tiggo 8 was revealed during the 2018 Beijing Auto Show in China,[6] positioning the Tiggo 8 above the smaller Tiggo 7. Internally codenamed the T18,[7] the Tiggo 8 rides on a unibody chassis that features MacPherson struts in the front and multi-link rear suspension systems. The wheels are 18-inch size and the ground clearance metric is 200 mm (7.9 in).[8]

The engine of the Tiggo 8 is a 1.5-litre inline-four turbocharged petrol engine from the Tiggo 7 that produces 108 kW (145 hp; 147 PS) and 210 N⋅m (155 lb⋅ft; 21 kg⋅m) of torque. The engine is mated to a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) and powerers the front wheels.[8] For the 2019 model year, a 1.6-litre inline-four direct-injection turbocharged petrol engine mated with a 7-speed dual clutch transmission developing 145 kW (194 hp; 197 PS) and 290 N⋅m (214 lb⋅ft; 30 kg⋅m) is added to the product line, badged as "290T".[9] For the 2021 model year, The bigger 2.0T Kunpeng version badged as "390T" was introduced later, developing 187 kW (251 hp; 254 PS) and 390 N⋅m (288 lb⋅ft; 40 kg⋅m) of torque.

In late 2022, a new two-row five-seater model was launched alongside the existing seven-seater model. It is powered by a 1.5-litre inline-four SQRE4T15C turbocharged petrol engine rated at 115 kW (154 hp; 156 PS) and 230 N⋅m (170 lb⋅ft; 23 kg⋅m).[10]

Tiggo 8 Plus

In October 2020, the Tiggo 8 Plus was unveiled as a more upmarket version for the Chinese local market. In overseas markets, it is marketed as the Tiggo 8 Pro or Tiggo 8 Pro Max, the latter for the model powered with the "390T" powertrain.[11][12] The Tiggo 8 Plus sports redesigned front and rear ends with the "Life In Motion 3.0" design language and is 22 mm (0.9 in) longer and 1 mm (0.04 in) higher than the regular Tiggo 8.
