A superb SUV: Spec-checking the Chery Tiggo 8

A superb SUV: Spec-checking the Chery Tiggo 8

The Tiggo 8 — the largest in Chery's line of Tiggo crossovers and SUVs — aims to stay true to what an "SUV" stands for. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How much is the Chery Tiggo 8?

    Across its two variants, the Tiggo 8 retails from P1.28 to P1.34 million.
  • How does the Tiggo 8's Chery Smartwatch Key work?

    Among other functions, the Smartwatch can lock and unlock the Tiggo 8's doors, or start the car's engine.
  • For sporty performance, the Tiggo 8 is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter gasoline engine that generates 145hp and 210Nm of torque. A Sport driving mode promises to extract the most power from the engine. A six-speed dual-clutch transmission is paired to the motor. 

    In the utility side of things, the Tiggo 8's configurable second- and third-row seats can fit anywhere from 892 liters to 1,930 liters worth of cargo. When the seats are folded upright for passengers, the occupants can use the Tiggo 8's useful features such as touchscreen controls for the air-conditioning system, 10-inch infotainment touchscreen, and multiple USB ports.

    Another nifty gadget is the Chery Smartwatch Key that can be connected with the Tiggo 8. With the Smartwatch Key, the wearer can control the different functions of the vehicle remotely.

    These involve audible/vibrate alarms, incoming call reminders, remote trunk opening, closing and opening of windows, remote engine start/stop and unlocking and locking the vehicle. The Smartwatch also acts like a fitness band that functions for heart rate monitoring aside from other fitness tracker functions.

    And lastly, the Tiggo 8 is indeed a vehicle that moves with ability, as it promises to take seven over even rougher terrain with a 210-millimeter ground clearance and 18-inch wheels. The driver will appreciate the 360-degree super-definition rearview camera when parking, while when traveling, passengers will get a view of the sky with the panoramic sunroof.

    Along with other Chery models, the Tiggo 8 also comes with a free full preventive maintenance service (PMS) for three years, a five-year general warranty, and industry-leading 10-year/one million-km engine warranty.

    And even though we have many things covered, this midsize SUV still offers many more. Check out the spec sheet for the Tiggo 8 variants, the Lux and Lux EX, below.
