CHERY has confirmed that its first seven-seat SUV for the UK market will go on sale with prices starting from £28,545.

Deliveries of the Tiggo 8 will begin from September 1 and the model will be offered with a choice of two electrified powertrains in two highâspecification trims - Aspire and Summit.

The pure ICE 1.6-litre Turbocharged Direct Gasoline Injection engine produces 147ps and 275 Nm of torque, enabling the Tiggo 8 in its pure petrol variant to accelerate from 0-62 mph in 9.8 seconds with a top speed of 118 mph.

Meanwhile, the Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid - the plug-in hybrid model with both self-charging and fast charging capabilities - offers a total range of 745 miles, including 56 EV-only miles, and is capable of a 0-62 mph time of just 8.5 seconds, with a top speed of 112 mph.

In this version, drivers can fast charge the 18.4kWh lithium iron phosphate battery in 20 minutes (30-80 per cent) or allow the car to self-charge on the go.

Alongside this, the Tiggo 8 also offers tax and BIK benefits, thanks in part to its CO2 emissions, which come in at 31g/km for the Super Hybrid.

The pure ICE 1.6-litre Turbocharged Direct Gasoline Injection (TDGI) engine produces 147 PS and 275 Nm of torque, enabling the Tiggo 8 in its pure petrol variant to accelerate from 0-62 mph in 9.8 seconds with a top speed of 118 mph.

The mpdel has a 5+2 seating and an effective space utilisation rate of over 66 per cent with a load capacity of 1,930 litres with the rear rows folded.

Technology includes in-built features such as a 540-degree camera set-up, ACC adaptive cruise control, and a number of ADAS functions including traffic jam assist; autonomous emergency braking; numerous collision warning and rear cross traffic functions; intelligent headlight control; and departure ahead inform.

Aspire models have heated seating, ergonomic controls, and a high-quality cabin finish. Summit elevates the experience with a panoramic sunroof, multi-colour ambient lighting, a hands-free automatic tailgate, plus an upgraded 12-speaker SONY audio system.

Both trims feature the brand's 15.6-inch Quad HD central console display, intuitive multi-function steering wheel, and interior finishes tailored for durability and modern appeal. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come as standard, alongside a 50W wireless charger with integrated air-cooling to protect devices during fast charging. Type A and Type C ports offer connectivity for passengers.

With the Summit specification, premium features are also added, such as lumbar and electrically adjustable, heated and ventilated seats, with passenger massage function in the front row, and heated outer second row seating, alongside a head-up display and illuminated sills.

Chery UK deputy country director, Farrell Hsu, said: "Chery's launch pricing positions our seven-seat SUV as a true category standout - delivering the space, specification and smart technology of a far more expensive vehicle, with the reassurance of a comprehensive warranty and trusted global engineering.

"At this price point, few rivals come close. Here, a competitive price is matched with genuine value - a brand-new car, backed by the scale, experience and reliability of Chery International, one of the world's most established automotive manufacturers.

"Chery is here to stay - and our aim is to make it a household name in the UK. With a growing national dealer network and a line-up tailored for British drivers, the brand is setting a new benchmark for what customers can expect in quality, innovation and long-term ownership confidence."

Priced from £28,545 for the 1.6-litre TDGI and from £33,545 for the Super Hybrid, both variants have a 7-year/100,000-mile warranty, with unlimited mileage in the first 3 years, and RAC Home Start cover as standard.

The Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid will have an 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty.
