Hot on the heels of the launch of the new Chery Tiggo 4 Pro, the Chinese firm has announced that the 7-seater Tiggo 8 Pro will be arriving on local soil much sooner than originally planned.

Chery made its return to South Africa late in 2021 with the launch of Tiggo 4 Pro compact family car and with 42 dealers ready to serve customers, business is looking up for the Chinese firm.

Now, Chery has announced that following increased customer and dealer demand, the firm has expedited the launch of the forthcoming flagship Tiggo 8 Pro which was expected to arrive in Q2 of 2022 but will now likely make landfall in Q1.

“The success of the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro has surprised our dealer network, who reports increasing interest and sales of all models in the range. We have also welcomed five more dealers in the short few months since its introduction, which means that customers can now choose from one of 42 dealers across South Africa to test drive and purchase their new Chery,” says Tony Liu, Executive Deputy General Manager of Chery South Africa.

Chery Tiggo 8 Pro – Main Features

Chery will offer 2 derivatives for the Tiggo 8 Pro and both will be powered by a 1.6-litre turbopetrol engine with 136 kW and 290 Nm of torque.

Apart from offering 7-seat capability, the Tiggo 8 Pro will also be equipped with features such as a Surround View Monitor, 8-speaker Sony sound system, up to 3 high-definition TFT displays, climate control air conditioning and a pharmaceutical-grade N95 air filtration system.

Further specification and pricing details will be confirmed closer to launch.
