What’s it like to drive? 

Reviewer's opinion

"Careful throttle management will yield quite an astounding drive as the powerplant really wakes up when you change the drive mode into its Sport setting. It is quite spritely in and around town but the obvious results will be seen at the fuel pumps."

- Lawrence Minnie, AutoTrader

What is the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro like inside?

The seats are all covered with leather that is not as plush as you may find in a higher-value vehicle but is still very comfortable and there is a surprising amount of leg, shoulder and headroom. The full-length sunroof lets in plenty of light when open giving the interior a spacious airy feeling. - Lawrence Minnie, AutoTrader

Style

To start, the MAX has all the features of the Tiggo 8 Pro Executive. This includes Adaptive Cruise Control, multi-colour Ambient Lighting, Chery Voice Control, a large panoramic sunroof, a 12.3-inch digital instrumentation panel, a 10.25-inch floating infotainment touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and an additional 8-inch touch screen for the dual zone climate control and other vehicle features.- Chery SA
