youAs the importer had anticipated last year, the launch of the Chery Tiggo 8 PRO was finally completed, the new flagship of the Chinese company, which stands out for having 7 seats and an important technological display on par with any western brand.
In addition to a successful design, it incorporates numerous driving assistance systems and a modern turbo engine, with a dual-clutch automatic transmission. Already available in the network of more than 20 Chery dealers across the country, these are its main features:
The new:
It is the flagship among the brand’s SUVs, with capacity for 7 passengers (2+3+2 configuration). Its appearance looks modern, combining elegance and sportiness. In the front sector, the hexagonal grill stands out with a graphite-colored frame and chrome edges -very much in the singleframe style- along with the headlights with LED projectors. Below, the air intakes of the bumper end up giving the SUV a rather aggressive image. In profile, it has straight and marked lines along with a beltline that rises towards the C-pillar. It has 18” alloy wheels with a two-tone finish and, as in all Sport Utility, black plastic protections in the wheel arches and underbody , as well as roof bars in an aluminum-like tone. At the rear, the thin and elongated headlights, the spoiler on the tailgate and the bumper, topped by a double exhaust outlet and an aluminum-coloured appliqué, also draw attention.
Undoubtedly, where the Tiggo 8 makes a big leap is inside: it stands out for its technological content and its design, with a dashboard made up of two huge screens linked together that fulfill the functions of the instrumentation (configurable by the driver) and the media system. Below are the air vents and the climate control controls, also operable through a touch display.
