Enter Chery South Africa's second new offering, the Tiggo 8 Pro seven-seater, mid-sized SUV in all its glory with bells and whistles. There are two models: the Distinctive priced at R496 000 and Executive priced at R546 900. Both are powered by a 1,6-litre TGDI turbo-petrol engine driving the front wheels through a Getrag-sourced seven-speed dual clutch gearbox, with a power output of 145 kW at 5 500 r/min and 290 N.m of torque between 2000 and 4 000 r/min.
Like its more compact sibling, the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro, the Tiggo 8 has a standard features list as long as a State of the Nation address, only far more promising. Many of these features will be optional on their rival offerings, which pushes their prices even higher, easily adding R100 000 or more to the RRP. The Volkswagen Tiguan All-Space is a good example of this.
