Chery has a variety of SUVs on sale, among which the Tiggo 8 series has a high popularity. A few days ago, we learned that Chery Tiggo 8 series will add a new car-Tiggo 8 PRO, which will be officially listed on May 18th. The design style of the new car has changed, the interior style is more simple, and the power provides three options: 1.6T, 2.0T and Kunpeng DHT hybrid. It is understood that it will focus on young consumers. So, is this new car worth starting with? Let’s take a look at it together.
In terms of appearance and style, the whole vehicle continues to adopt the 8 family-style design of Tiggo, but some adjustments have been made in the front face. The front face adopts an air intake grille resembling the X shape, and the internal style is dot matrix with a little gradual effect, which will have a certain visual impact from a distance. Headlights are connected with chrome-plated decorations on both sides of the logo, and fog lamp areas on both sides of the grille are recessed inward, and black decorations are added.
The body shape still retains the overall style of Tiggo 8, and chrome-plated decorative strips are added in many places of the body. With the embellishment of the waistline, the whole body looks more layered. The wheel hub is available in R18 and R19 sizes, and the latter looks more harmonious with the larger body.
At the rear of the car, the popular through taillight group design is adopted, and the light source style is solid line and dot matrix collocation design. The light source is simple, but the recognition is high. The bottom adopts a bilateral four-outlet exhaust layout, and the lower enclosure is decorated with silver, which is thicker in style.
The interior of Chery Tiggo 8 PRO adopts a simple design, and the full LCD instrument and the central control panel are integrated, both of which are 12.3 inches in size. There is a touch button under the air outlet, but whether the light display will reflect light remains to be measured later. The three-position multi-function steering wheel also adopts a flat-bottom design. There are many function buttons and knobs on both sides of the low gear handle, and the car is also equipped with ambient lights.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of the car are 4745/1860/1745mm and the wheelbase is 2710 mm. Next, let’s take a look at the spatial performance of the new car. The height of the experiencer is 178cm. When the front seat is adjusted to the minimum, there is still 1 punch and 3 fingers in the head space, which is relatively rich. Here in the back row, there is still about 1 punch in the head space, mainly because the top of the back row is hollowed out, so the head space is more abundant, and there are 2 punches left in the legs. Although this car is a medium-sized SUV, the head space performance is relatively good, but the leg space is slightly insufficient.
The new Tiggo 8 PRO fuel version is equipped with 1.6T and 2.0T turbocharged engines respectively, with a maximum power of 145kW and a maximum torque of 290n m.. The latter has a maximum power of 187kW and a maximum torque of 390 N m.. The high-profile models also provide a four-wheel drive system. The gearbox is matched with a 7-speed wet dual clutch gearbox. In addition, the new car will also provide a choice of hybrid models, which are equipped with Kunpeng DHT hybrid.
The overall design of Tiggo 8 PRO is mainly young and fashionable, and the main consumer groups it faces after listing are young people. However, although the car is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, from the overall performance, it is more inclined to a compact SUV. The competition at this level is also fierce, so the new car of Tiggo 8 PRO will undoubtedly face a lot of competitive pressure. How the follow-up performance is still to be tested by the market.
