Whether you’re packing beach gear for Muizenberg, heading over Chapman’s Peak, or driving out to Franschhoek for a weekend away, this SUV delivers the perfect blend of practicality and luxury. And even better, it’s backed by Thorp’s exclusive 10-year / 1 million km warranty.
Why the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Stands Out
The Chery Tiggo 8 Pro is designed with families in mind. Here’s what makes it one of the most compelling SUVs in its class:
Spacious 7-Seater SUV
Is the Tiggo 8 Pro a 7-seater? Yes! With flexible seating for up to seven passengers, it’s ideal for growing families, road trip groups, and active lifestyles. Third-row seating makes school runs or holiday outings effortless.
Comfort & Luxury, Everywhere You Look
The cabin feels refined from the moment you step inside, with:
- Ergonomic seating
- Premium leather touches
- Panoramic sunroof
- Soft ambient lighting
- Generous legroom in all rows
Perfect for breezy summer drives!
Advanced Safety Features
Long drives call for confidence. The Tiggo 8 Pro includes:
- Multiple airbags
- Lane Keep Assist
- Blind-Spot Monitoring
- Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
- Adaptive Cruise Control
Whether winding roads or busy highways, safety comes standard.
Efficient Performance for Long Trips
With turbocharged power and impressive efficiency, the Tiggo 8 Pro makes family travel smooth and cost-effective.
Family-Friendly Features for Cape Town Adventures
Cape Town summers mean heat, traffic, and plenty of luggage! The Tiggo 8 Pro handles it all with ease.
Smart Infotainment for the Whole Family
Stay connected on every drive with:
- A crisp touchscreen display
- Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
- Bluetooth and USB connectivity
- Voice control (in select models)
Perfect for road-trip playlists, navigation, and keeping kids entertained.
Cool and Comfortable All Summer
Multi-zone climate control keeps everyone happy, whether you’re cooling off after a Camps Bay beach day or warming up after an icy swim in Blouberg.
Loads of Boot Space
Heading out with beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers or overnight bags?
The Tiggo 8 Pro’s flexible boot space makes packing effortless, and folding seats allow you to prioritise people or cargo as needed.
Performance & Handling Made for Road Trips
The Tiggo 8 Pro is engineered to keep every journey smooth and enjoyable.
Responsive Turbo Power
That 1.6T TGDI engine delivers confident acceleration, even with a full car. It’s ideal for overtaking, merging into summer holiday traffic, or tackling long inclines.
Smooth, Quiet Ride Quality
The Tiggo 8 Pro offers superb quietness and stability on the road – a huge plus on long family drives.
Handles Coastal and Mountain Routes Easily
Cape Town’s terrain varies, but the Tiggo 8 Pro takes it all in stride:
- Sand and gravel near coastal access points
- Winding mountain passes
- Uneven suburban roads
Its suspension absorbs bumps with ease, keeping your passengers comfortable for hours.
How Much Is the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro in South Africa?
At Thorp Chery, the Tiggo 8 Pro Executive + 1.6T TDGi starts from just R489,900. That’s premium SUV motoring at a surprisingly accessible price point, especially with features that rival far more expensive competitors. We can also assist with vehicle financing and affordable monthly service plans.
Owner & Expert Insights
TopGear SA highlights the Tiggo 8 Pro as one of the best-value large SUVs in the country, noting that it “packs a decent punch” thanks to its 1.6-litre turbo engine that delivers responsive power and smooth acceleration.
They also emphasise the Tiggo 8 Pro’s impressive ride quality, describing how it “sits effortlessly on the highway” and absorbs rougher road surfaces with ease – perfect for long summer drives or less-than-perfect Cape Town roads!
Inside the cabin, the review praised the premium feel and thoughtful design, especially the expansive panoramic sunroof that floods the cabin with natural light. They also noted how practical the seven-seat layout is, with a flexible middle row for easier access and comfort for all passengers.
Parking is another highlight thanks to the Tiggo 8 Pro’s 360° camera system, which provides immediate feedback and visibility when manoeuvring in tight areas, a huge advantage in Cape Town’s busier holiday spots.
TopGear SA also applauds the Tiggo 8 Pro for being exceptional value for money, coming in nearly R100,000 less than premium competitors like the VW Tiguan and Kia Sportage, while offering more features as standard.
