Chery Tiggo 8 (2025-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Phenomenal value for money	Not brilliant on ergonomics
Fantastic standard equipment	A little unpolished dynamically
Genuinely pleasant interior quality	Infotainment system could be more user-friendly

Quick Summary

The Chery Tiggo 8 is a seven-seater family SUV that delivers exceptional value for money. At just under £29,000 for the entry-level petrol model, it undercuts rivals like the Nissan X-Trail by around £8,000 and the Skoda Kodiaq by over £10,000. Despite its budget-friendly price, the Tiggo 8 boasts impressive standard equipment, including 19-inch alloy wheels, LED lighting, keyless entry and start, dual-zone climate control, adaptive cruise control, and a 540-degree surround view camera. The cabin features genuinely pleasant interior quality with 78.9% soft-touch surfaces, creating a premium feel that belies the affordable price tag.

Two powertrains are available: a turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol engine with 145bhp, and a plug-in hybrid system combining a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor for 201bhp and up to 56 miles of electric-only range. Whilst the infotainment system's touchscreen interface requires some adjustment, and the driving experience is slightly unpolished, these minor shortcomings are easily outweighed by the car's practicality, equipment levels, and seven-year, 100,000-mile warranty. The Tiggo 8 offers proper seven-seater accommodation with flexible seating arrangements, making it an outstanding proposition for budget-conscious families.

Best for: Budget-conscious families seeking a spacious seven-seater SUV with excellent standard equipment and impressive interior quality, and those wanting a plug-in hybrid option at an affordable price.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising the finest driving dynamics, those who demand premium ergonomics, or those seeking the most spacious seven-seater SUV available.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Tiggo 8 if: You're seeking a spacious seven-seater SUV with exceptional value for money, fantastic standard equipment, and impressive interior quality on a budget.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise the finest driving dynamics, demand premium ergonomics, or require the most spacious seven-seater SUV available.

Competitive Position: The Chery Tiggo 8 is a standout proposition in the seven-seater SUV market, offering phenomenal value that significantly undercuts established rivals. Whilst the Hyundai Santa Fe and Skoda Kodiaq offer more space and refinement, they command premium prices of £10,000 or more. The Nissan X-Trail is closer in price but lacks the seven-seater option. The Tiggo 8's combination of affordability, practical seven-seater accommodation, impressive standard equipment, and a generous warranty makes it an exceptional choice for budget-conscious families. Minor shortcomings in infotainment ergonomics and driving polish are easily outweighed by the outstanding value proposition.
