The order books are open for CHERY’s first seven-seat SUV for the UK with prices starting from £28,545 and first deliveries expected from the beginning of September.

It’s called the TIGGO 8 and will be offered with a choice of two electrified powertrains, two high‑specification trims – Aspire and Summit – and a diverse colour palette.

The pure ICE 1.6-litre Turbocharged Direct Gasoline Injection (TDGI) engine produces 147PS and 275Nm of torque, enabling the CHERY TIGGO 8 in its pure petrol variant to accelerate from 0-62 mph in 9.8 seconds with a top speed of 118mph.

Meanwhile, the CHERY TIGGO 8 Super Hybrid – the plug-in hybrid model with both self-charging and fast charging capabilities – offers a total WLTP range of 745 miles, including 56 EV-only miles, and is capable of a 0-62mph time of 8.5 seconds, with a top speed of 112mph. In this version, drivers can fast charge the 18.4kWh battery in 20 minutes (30-80 per cent) or allow the car to self-charge on the go. Alongside this, the CHERY TIGGO 8 also offers favourable tax and BIK benefits, thanks in part to its CO₂ emissions, which come in at just 31g/km for the Super Hybrid. Both powertrains are produced by parent company and namesake, Chery International.

The CHERY TIGGO 8’s broad appeal is rooted in its intelligent cabin layout, designed to meet the needs of modern family life and professional use. With 5+2 seating and clever use of space, it easily adapts to daily life, long trips, or outdoor adventures. Load capacity expands to a vast 1,930 litres with the rear rows folded – big enough for prams, bikes, or even to create a comfortable resting space on longer journeys.

Technology takes centre stage in the CHERY TIGGO 8, delivering a connected and intuitive driving experience. This includes a 540-degree camera set-up, ACC Adaptive Cruise Control, and a number of ADAS functions including Traffic Jam Assist, Autonomous Emergency Braking, numerous Collision Warning and Rear Cross Traffic functions, Intelligent Headlight Control, and Departure Ahead Information.

The interior of Aspire models offer premium essentials, with comfortable heated seating, ergonomic controls, and a stylish, high-quality cabin finish. Summit elevates the experience with a panoramic sunroof for an airy cabin environment, multi-colour ambient lighting, a hands-free automatic tailgate, plus an upgraded 12-speaker SONY audio system that transforms every journey into a sensory experience.

Both trims feature the brand’s signature 15.6-inch Quad HD central console display, intuitive multi-function steering wheel, and interior finishes tailored for durability and appeal. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come as standard, alongside a 50W wireless charger with integrated air-cooling to protect devices overheating during fast charging. Type A and Type C ports offer connectivity for all passengers, too.

With the Summit specification, premium features are also added, such as lumbar and electrically adjustable, heated and ventilated seats, with passenger massage function in the front row, and heated outer second row seating, alongside a head-up display and illuminated sills.

Priced from £28,545 for the 1.6-litre TDGI and from £33,545 for the Super Hybrid, both variants have a seven-year, 100,000-mile warranty with unlimited mileage in the first 3 years, and RAC Home Start cover as standard. The CHERY TIGGO 8 Super Hybrid will have an eight-year, 100,000-mile battery warranty, too.
