The headlight groups on both sides are integrated with the front grille and connected by a chrome-plated decorative strip to form a through design. The front sides of the new car are also surrounded by polygonal heat dissipation openings, and the interior is equipped with horizontal LED daytime running lights.

　　On the side of the car body, the new car adopts the standard SUV body structure. The front and rear fenders protrude slightly from the car body, and the whole side lines are relatively flat. Together with the chrome-plated decorative strips under the car door and the large-size rims with dense spokes, it shows the fashionable and dynamic side of the car. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4745/1860/1745mm and the wheelbase is 2710mm respectively.

　　On the tail side, the new car is equipped with a roof spoiler, and the taillights adopt a through design, and the array shape of the internal light group is highly recognizable after lighting. In addition, the new car also adopts the exhaust design of four outlets on both sides, and surrounds the rear diffuser decorative panel in the middle after cooperation, so as to further enhance the dynamic effect of the vehicle.

　　In the interior part, the design style of the overall center console of the new car refers to the previous design idea of Chery OMODA 5, and the double screen design with a size of 24.6 inches is particularly eye-catching. The new car is also equipped with the W-HUD head-up display function developed by Chery, which can display the speed, dynamic ADAS, navigation, telephone and other forms, and can also make the user’s line of sight more focused, which is conducive to safe driving. In addition, the Tiggo 8 PRO is also equipped with SONY luxury 10-speaker surround sound, as well as a full-fledged atmosphere light group.

　　In terms of space, as a seven-seat model, the performance of the interior space of the Tiggo 8 PRO car is acceptable, and the design of hollowing out the back of the front seat gives more room for the second row of legs, which better ensures the seating space of the third row of passengers, and the performance of storage space is more conventional.

　　In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a pure fuel vehicle with a 1.6TGDI/2.0TGDI engine and the latest Chery Kunpeng DHT hybrid system. Among them, the 1.6T turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 197 HP and a maximum torque of 290 Nm. The maximum power of the 2.0T engine is 254 HP and the maximum torque is 390 Nm. Both power versions are matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox and a four-wheel drive system is available.

　　In the future, the new car will also be equipped with Chery Kunpeng DHT hybrid system, which will provide "3 engines, 3 gears, 9 modes and 11 speeds" with "CHERY AWD" Chery all-scene intelligent control four-wheel drive system, so that the new car has six all-scene road modes including economy, ordinary, sports, camping, skiing and cross-country.

★　Test drive review

　　Previously, we have tested the 2.0T model version (the test-drive version, and the test drive experience does not represent the final production version). The engine parameters of this model are 254 HP and 390 Nm, which are in line with the 2.0T high-power engine of the first-tier manufacturers, but there are still some gaps in the actual experience. Mainly reflected in the power output process is not linear enough, and the low torsion performance below 2000rpm is weak. In addition, the stroke of the accelerator pedal is relatively long, and there is still a little empty position in the initial stage, which leads to the need for more accurate control of the ankle when following the car at low speed, otherwise the power will suddenly break out after the speed exceeds 2000rpm, and it is easy to go forward.

　　But if you are the kind of driving style that you must rush out first, then the performance of this engine will definitely satisfy you, skip the initial fatigue and go straight to the power sweet zone, and this momentum can continue until 5000rpm. Even if the cruise state suddenly accelerates, it can be done in one go, don’t believe you look at the test results.

　　For dual-clutch gearboxes, the attitude of China brand is mostly to keep comfort and abandon shift speed, and Tiggo 8 PRO is no exception. According to the standard of a family car, its performance is qualified, and the selection of gears and the switching between gears during stop-and-go can be smooth and natural, without any obvious frustration and hesitation. It’s just that in the face of sudden high power request, the speed of downshifting is not fast, and it’s not decisive enough. It can’t be lowered to the right gear at once, and sometimes it needs to be replenished.

　　The chassis does not adequately filter small bumps, and it is also sensitive to the feedback of road information, and there will be redundant jumping when passing through potholes and speed bumps. But if you insist, it doesn’t count. After all, there is no strong impact transmitted to the car. The long-stroke suspension is not well restrained when facing the roll, and the response of the car body is also lagging behind. Generally speaking, it is comfort and movement, and both sides are not in place, giving people a very general sense of texture and advanced feeling.

　　In general, the driving texture of the Tiggo 8 PRO is not as young as it looks, coupled with the high sitting posture and fuzzy steering wheel directivity, it still has a strong sense of "middle age". According to the data released by the manufacturers, the proportion of owners of Tiggo 8 over 36 years old is 56%, and that of Tiggo 8 PLUS is 40%. The main car buyers of Tiggo 8 PRO in the future will definitely be middle-aged, so this driving experience is in line with their car demand.

★ Model history

Tiggo 8 Kunpeng Edition

Tiggo 8 PLUS』

Tiggo 8 PRO』

　　The Tiggo 8 PRO is the third model of the Tiggo 8 family. At present, it is consistent with the two brothers in the series in terms of three major parts and body size, but it has changed its appearance, interior and configuration. Compared with Tiggo 8, which focuses on economy and practicality, Tiggo 8 PLUS focuses on luxury, while Tiggo 8 PRO focuses on youth and technology. It is aimed at the post-90 s family, which not only inherits the advantages of the large space of Tiggo 8 series to meet household needs, but also meets the needs of intelligent networking and young design after 90 s.

★ competitors

"Changan CS75 PLUS』"

　　As an SUV with a wheelbase of 2710mm and a price range of 150,000, Tiggo 8 PRO will continue to compete with its old rivals such as Changan CS75 PLUS, Haval H6 and Bo Yue X. While the Tiggo 8 family is constantly updating, competing products are also constantly innovating. For example, at the end of February this year, the new CS75Pulse, a powerful competitor in this market, ushered in the market. In terms of paper strength, Tiggo 8 PRO has a good technology and automatic driving assistance configuration compared with competing products. At the same time, Tiggo 8 PRO will launch a hybrid model in the future, and it has taken a leading step in power selection compared with competing products. I hope its appearance will contribute to the sales of Tiggo 8 family.

★ Edit comments

　　At present, there are more and more young consumers in the domestic SUV market, and manufacturers have begun to further upgrade and optimize the younger models. Tiggo 8 PRO is a model born in this background, which evaluates the fashionable and dynamic design and rich configuration to attract young consumers. With different product style positioning, Chery has also made a good market segmentation of the Tiggo 8 series models to meet the car purchase needs of more people.

　　Looking at the sales volume of the Tiggo 8 family, by 2021, the annual sales volume of the Tiggo 8 family reached 166,000, and the global sales volume of the Tiggo 8 family reached 27,250 in January and February this year, up 12.1% year-on-year. In addition, in less than four years, the Tiggo 8 family has entered the country and marched overseas. At present, the global cumulative sales in dozens of countries around the world such as Russia, Egypt and Brazil have exceeded 480,000. It can be seen that the product strength of the Tiggo 8 family is still trustworthy. I believe that after the launch of the Tiggo 8 PRO model, it will bring better sales performance and product reputation to the Tiggo 8 family. (Text/car home graduated)
