Here is a standout new SUV for those on the lookout for a large, luxurious SUV with off-road credentials and decent fuel efficiency. The 2024 Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max SUV has arrived, and doesn’t it look great!
I’d be rating the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max SUV as one of the best on the market, particularly when you consider the price tag, its capabilities, its space, and its comfort levels. So, let’s first start with the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max’s price. You just can’t find a new luxury SUV like the Tiggo 8 Pro Max for what Chery are asking buyers to pay (and the Private Fleet team will work hard to ensure that you get the best possible deal).
What are the Tiggo 8 Pro Max’s capabilities? Well, this new SUV packs loads of modern features into the interior experience. All of the first- and second-row seats are comfortable and spacious. The lovely leather-like interior is sumptuous, making travelling long distances a breeze. Specially zoned climate control keeps those hot temperatures outside where they belong, or those warm toasty temperatures inside if the day outside is cold and wintery. A whole digital display combines the driver’s necessary information in their space with the world of infotainment to the left for all to see in a seamless continuation of digital wizardry. This vast digital display is clear, easy to use, and attractive in an electronic sort of way. The touchscreen is a smorgasbord of digital data that amalgamates into crisp, high-definition imagery that is definitely as attractive and as inspiring as what you’d find in an equivalent Mercedes or BMW high-end model. The flat-bottomed steering wheel looks cool and adds to the pleasant and likable Tiggo 8 interior style and elegance. The 24.6-inch LCD display is linked to surround view cameras, online platforms, passive entry and start systems, wireless device connection and charging, a ‘Hello Chery’ voice command system, and a comprehensive range of artificially intelligent and intuitive features.
Practicality is always a very real necessity when you’re looking to buy a new vehicle. If you need space, then the Tiggo 8 is a Chery for you. The Tiggo 8 Pro Max SUV offers 117 litres with the seven seats all in place and in use, 739 litres of boot space with the five-seat configuration, and then colossal space with the third and second row seats folded down flat. If you’ve got a big St Bernard or active Alsatian, then the Tiggo 8 is the perfect doggie taxi. Getting down to the beach is nice and easy, the AWD traction making short work of any difficult terrain. As for towing, this largest Chery SUV is rated to tow up to 1300 kg braked or 750 kg unbraked. The lighter towing rating might be the one feature I’d be more concerned with, but that’s because I like to tow a tandem load of firewood from time to time. A Ford Everest or Isuzu MUX can tow up to 3500 kg.
You can also rest assured that the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max is a safe SUV. Awarded a 5-star ANCAP safety rating backs this claim up, and Chery have designed this SUV with a safety-first approach, where it features an array of 10 airbags inside the cabin, and 18 driver-assistance systems all working to ensure every journey is as safe as it can be.
Under the hood of the Tiggo 8 lies a punchy performer in the guise of a 2.0-litre turbocharged ULP motor that puts out up to 180 kW and 375 Nm without blowing out on fuel efficiency. I was impressed with the effortless way that the Tiggo 8 polished off the 0–100 km/h sprint, taking around 8 seconds, which is very respectable. The engine’s power is harnessed by a smooth, advanced 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), which transmits the engine’s power nice and smoothly out to the rubber on the road (or off-road) via the smart AWD system. You have three driving modes to choose between, ensuring the best connection is obtained for the required journey, be that a cruisy holiday, a city commute, or a cross-country adventure.
Chery have quite a stable of thoroughbred SUVs for you to check out. Take a look and you’ll see the stylish Omoda 5 SUV range, which also has an EV model. The Tiggo 4 is a nice compact SUV, if that’s the way you like them. Then the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro is a decent medium-size five-seat SUV. But if you’re thinking of owning a new large and luxurious seven-seat SUV, then the Tiggo 8 Pro Max is the SUV cherry on the top, the one I’d be seriously considering the most.
