Inside the Chery TIGGO 8 Pro: A First-Class SUV Experience for South African Drivers



When you’re looking for a business-class inspired SUV that doesn’t just get you from A to B, but makes every journey feel premium, the Chery TIGGO 8 Pro stands tall. Starting from just R529 900 for the Executive + model, it’s an intelligent combination of luxury, technology, and practicality without the sky-high price tag.
First Impressions: Luxury You Can See
From the outside, the TIGGO 8 Pro commands a double take. Its Matrix Type LED headlights cut through the darkest Johannesburg streets with precision, while the aluminium roof rack and powered panoramic sunroof let you carry gear and soak up the sun on weekend escapes. And with proportions designed to impress, every angle tells your neighbours you mean business.
Under the Hood: Power Meets Precision
Performance isn’t just about speed, it’s about confidence, especially on South African roads. The 1.6L turbocharged engine delivers punchy performance paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, giving you smooth, responsive drives whether you’re cruising on the N1 or tackling winding routes through the Drakensberg. With 290 Nm of torque, merging, overtaking, or hauling the whole family has never felt so effortless.
Step Inside: Your Sanctuary on Wheels
Calling the interior “spacious” would be selling it short. With 7 sprawling seats crafted from soft, supple materials, the TIGGO 8 Pro invites you to sink in, relax, and leave the chaos of traffic behind.
Tech and comfort sit side by side:
- 10.25-inch infotainment screen for crisp navigation and entertainment
- 8 high-quality speakers to soundtrack your drives
- 360° All-Around Camera for stress-free parking and tight city manoeuvres
- Ambient lighting that sets the mood, whether it’s a school run or a Friday night drive
- Privacy glass for your passengers’ peace of mind
- Intelligent Voice Control: “Hello Chery” to keep your hands on the wheel
- Apple CarPlay & Android Auto for seamless smartphone integration
- Keyless entry & one-button start so you can jump in and go
Safety That Goes Above and Beyond
South African roads demand an SUV that watches your back. The TIGGO 8 Pro is loaded with up to 15 Advanced Driver Assistance System functions, from lane departure alerts to emergency braking.
The 360° HD Panoramic Imaging Camera isn’t just a gimmick, it’s your virtual co-pilot. Imagine reversing out of a busy Cape Town parking lot or navigating narrow streets in Pretoria. Every obstacle, every child crossing the street, every curb is visible in crisp HD from every angle. It’s peace of mind, wrapped in tech. Safety isn’t just about alerts, it’s about real benefits you feel daily: less stress during school drop-offs, confidence on long trips to Durban, and knowing your family is truly protected, no matter the journey.
Why South Africans Are Choosing the TIGGO 8 Pro
Because it’s a mobile sanctuary, a performance machine, and a safety fortress all in one. Whether it’s the weekly grocery run, a road trip to the Drakensberg, or simply feeling proud driving through your neighbourhood, the TIGGO 8 Pro delivers the kind of experience that turns everyday drives into something special.
