Chery, a lesser-known name in Western markets, is positioning itself as a prominent player in the automotive industry with its latest addition, the Tiggo 8 Pro Max.
Introduced as a luxury seven-seater SUV, the Tiggo 8 Pro Max offers a compact crossover design with a slightly elongated wheelbase, surpassing that of the Hyundai Tucson. Boasting dimensions of 4,720 mm (185.8 in) in length, 1,860 mm (73.2 in) in width, and 1,705 mm (67.1 in) in height, it accommodates up to seven occupants comfortably.
Despite its compact stature, the Tiggo 8 Pro Max provides modest cargo space, with 117 liters (4.1 cu-ft) behind the third row and 479 liters (16.9 cu-ft) behind the second row. Notable interior features include dual screens, ambient lighting, heated and ventilated seats, and an air purifying system, catering to discerning consumers.
Available in three trim levels in Australia, the Tiggo 8 Pro Max offers a range of amenities, from the Urban variant with 18-inch alloys to the Ultimate edition boasting 19-inch wheels and a panoramic sunroof. Advanced driver assistance systems, including autonomous emergency braking and adaptive cruise control, further enhance safety and convenience.
Under the hood, a potent 2.0-liter gasoline engine powers the Tiggo 8 Pro Max, delivering 180 kilowatts (245 ps/241 hp) of power and 375 Nm (277 lb-ft) of torque. Paired with a dual-clutch automatic transmission, the vehicle offers two-wheel drive for Urban and Elite trims and all-wheel drive for the Ultimate variant.
Scheduled for arrival in Aussie showrooms in May, the Tiggo 8 Pro Max exemplifies Chery’s commitment to delivering premium vehicles with comprehensive warranty coverage and roadside assistance, promising an elevated driving experience for consumers.
