The Chery Tiggo 8 Pro isn’t just another upmarket 7-seater SUV. Whilst it seductively whispers comfort, quality and luxury, it simultaneously shouts practicality, power and performance. The Tiggo 8 Pro offers an exceptional driving experience by seamlessly blending premium features with family-friendly functionality.
At Thorp Chery in Cape Town we are extremely proud to have this thoroughbred in our stable. Its commanding stance, bold grille, premium finishes, and other standout features, make it a compelling choice for discerning and particularly younger SUV drivers.
The Lightstone Auto report points out that SUVs are now the second most preferred vehicle among South Africans under 35. We’re delighted to offer the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro as a top contender in the booming SUV market in South Africa. Here are just some of those outstanding features that make it so!
Superb Design, Sumptuous Comfort and Interior Refinement
nside the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro interior, you’re immediately immersed in outstanding design. When we use the phrase ‘Royal Comfort’ to describe it, we’re not exaggerating!
Its seven luxury seats offer lumbar-supporting wrap-around side wings and aviation-style headrests that lend exceptional support. The driver benefits even further from a 6-way electric position adjuster for their personalised comfort.
The spacious and stylish cabin, with panoramic sunroof, creates a truly airy and welcoming environment. The symmetrical, horizontally integrated touch screens and controls are intuitively placed. The cabin’s design maximises headroom and ensures outstanding peripheral vision. The adjustable, multi-function leather steering wheel, puts a wealth of controls literally at your fingertips, including audio and cruise control.
The dual-zone automatic air conditioning system ensures a comfortable climate for all passengers as occupants in the back have their own independent air conditioning control. The pharmaceutical-grade air purification system ensures everyone inside breathes clean, healthy air. The innovative remote initiative cabin self-cleaning system (RICSCS) automatically purifies and sterilises the cabin.
And if you’re looking for a further touch of personalisation and ambience, the multi-colour LED ambient lighting allows you to choose from seven different colour themes. You can even sync the lighting with your favourite music!
Cutting-Edge Technology for Effortless Connectivity
These days we all want to stay connected while we’re on the go! The Chery Tiggo 8 Pro embraces this in style with cutting-edge, intuitive, user-friendly technology that keeps you informed, entertained, and in control throughout your trip.
The digital heart of the Tiggo 8 Pro’s cockpit lies in its impressive 12.3″ digital instrument cluster. This vibrant and customisable display presents you with crucial driving information like speed, engine revs, navigation prompts and vehicle status updates.
Complementing this is the large, high-resolution touchscreen infotainment system. It’s the central hub for all the entertainment and vehicle settings, as well as the connectivity features like seamless smartphone integration, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The voice command capability ensures you can safely access your favourite navigation apps, like Google Maps or Waze. You can stream music from services like Spotify or Apple Music, make and receive calls, and send messages using voice commands.
You can also interact with various vehicle functions using simple voice commands. This includes adjusting the climate control, changing the radio station, or navigating to a specific address. Depending on the model, the Tiggo 8 Pro also includes other tech-savvy elements like multiple USB ports for charging and data transfer, and Bluetooth connectivity. You and your passengers stay connected and entertained wherever you go.
Potent Performance and Smooth Driving Dynamics
Apart from its commanding good looks and luxury, the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro also offers an exceptional driving experience thanks to its capable powertrain and thoughtfully engineered chassis. Both Tiggo 8 Pro models are equipped with a high-performance 1.6T GDI engine paired with a smooth and efficient 7DCT transmission. This combination delivers a maximum power output of 145kW and 290Nm of torque, providing ample power for both city and open-road driving.
The Tiggo 8 Pro’s design prioritises enhanced all-round visibility, and offers higher ground clearance. The Dual Mode EPS (Electronic Power Steering) provides light and effortless steering and makes parking and manoeuvring in urban environments easier and offers greater driving confidence, control and increased fuel efficiency. Its Automatic Start/Stop system adds to its fuel economy and reduced emissions.
Comprehensive Safety Features
The Chery Tiggo 8 Pro is equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety features. The foundation of its safety is the High-Strength Body, constructed using multiple blocks of Benteler AG ultra-high strength thermo-form steel, providing exceptional rigidity and protection in the event of a collision.
Supplementing this strong body are six Guard-Ring Airbags, strategically placed for maximum protection. These include front driver and passenger airbags, front side airbags, and extended side curtain airbags that cover the entire length of the cabin.
Parking and manoeuvring are made safer and easier with its HD Reversing Camera, ensuring clear, wide-angle images. The ultrasonic radar detector accurately gauges distances to obstacles, and the 360-degree Around View Monitor provides a complete view of your vehicle’s surroundings.
Advanced driver-assistance systems include ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control), which monitors traffic conditions. It automatically adjusts both speed and spacing to maintain a safe distance. BSD (Blind Spot Detection) and LCA (Lane Change Assist) utilise microwave radar to see approaching vehicles in your blind spots.
Further safety and convenience features include EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) and Autohold. TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) provides real-time information on tyre pressure and temperature, and the Automatic Sensing Tail Door adds a practical safety element by opening automatically when your key fob comes within a metre of it. No fumbling for your keys when your hands are full!
