Chery has unveiled more details about its upcoming mid-sized SUV, the 2024 Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max, set to hit the Australian market in May.
Designed to rival popular models like the Mitsubishi Outlander and Nissan X-Trail, the Tiggo 8 Pro Max promises to offer a compelling package with three rows of seating, a powerful turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, and an extensive list of standard features.
The Tiggo 8 Pro Max will be available in three variants: two with front-wheel drive and one with all-wheel drive. While pricing is yet to be announced, Chery has provided a comprehensive breakdown of the features offered across the lineup.
Starting with the base Urban variant, buyers can expect a range of upscale features, including 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights and tail lights, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Other highlights include satellite navigation, a wireless phone charger, ambient lighting, and an air quality management system. The Urban variant also comes equipped with an 8-speaker Sony sound system, heated and ventilated front seats, and a selection of driving modes.
Moving up to the Elite trim adds additional amenities such as a power tailgate, heated exterior mirrors, a built-in dashcam, and third-row air vents with fan speed control. Illuminated door sills with Tiggo lettering and a retractable cargo blind further enhance the upscale feel of the Elite variant.
At the top of the range, the Ultimate AWD variant offers all-wheel drive capability along with a host of premium features, including 19-inch alloy wheels, a fragrance system, puddle lamps, and a panoramic sunroof. The Ultimate AWD also comes equipped with a 10-speaker Sony sound system and privacy glass.
In terms of safety, the Tiggo 8 Pro Max is expected to offer a comprehensive suite of advanced driver assistance systems, including adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, and lane-keep assist.
The vehicle will also feature a range of airbags, including front, front-side, front-centre, driver’s knee, rear-side, and side curtain airbags, along with a surround-view camera. Powering all variants of the Tiggo 8 Pro Max is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing 180kW of power and 375Nm of torque.
This engine is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, delivering a blend of performance and efficiency.
With its spacious interior, robust feature set, and powerful engine, the 2024 Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max aims to make a strong impression in the competitive mid-sized SUV segment. Backed by a comprehensive warranty and roadside assistance package, it promises to offer peace of mind to Australian buyers.
