Chery promised to flood Russia with new products, and the Chinese kept their word. In the past nine months alone, they’ve rolled out three cars under the premium sub-brand Exeed and a four-wheel drive Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max. But when they studied them, many did not even notice how Tiggo 8 was quietly updated at the same time, although it not only changed externally, but also received other power units …
Even despite the fact that Tiggo 8 cannot be called the locomotive of the brand sale (where Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 4 are in demand), the Chinese from Chery are in no rush to take it off the battlefield. Yes, there is a more modern Tiggo 8 Pro in the lineup, which also recently got four-wheel drive. But it is certainly 300,000 rubles more expensive, and for many, especially in the current unstable situation, that is a lot of money.
And since we touched on the topic of costs, we immediately notice that today Tiggo 8 is on offer at a price of 2,479,900 rubles, subject to all kinds of special offers. In addition, there is only one package available: the top version of Prestige. You can choose only the color of the body: black, white, silver, azure blue, gray-blue. Or, as in our case, fiery red – guaranteed to attract attention in the flow.
But let’s go back to the question of the expediency of the presence of Tiggo 8 in the lineup. The Chinese clearly see the meaning in the model, otherwise they would bring a restyled version to us this year? Although there are few changes. The appearance was slightly refreshed, expanded by various options – such as a panoramic roof, electrically operated front seats and a contour suspension of the cabin – an equipment list.
But it is much more interesting that there was a castling of power sources. The two-litre turbo engine gave way to a 1.5-litre engine and the variator to a six-speed ‘dry’ robot. Of course, the car now behaves differently on the road. And how exactly, the portal “AvtoVzglyad” tells in detail in the video review, which can be viewed here.
