2022 Chery Tiggo 8 Test Drive and Review - South Africa

The new Chery Tiggo 8 Pro is one of the most anticipated launches of the year. Following the success of the smaller Tiggo 4 Pro, Chery South Africa decided to bring the launch date of the 7-seat Tiggo 8 Pro forward. In this video I review the flagship Tiggo 8 Pro Executive.
Powered by a 1.6L turbopetrol engine and loaded with luxury features, the attractively-styled Tiggo 8 Pro appeals strongly on paper, but only a real-world test can determine whether it is another value-for-money smash-hit, or too good to be true!

I recently test drove this vehicle, and I will testify, I am really impressed and really consider buying it... km engine warranty... I m coming for it....

[thxyslxshthxm]

Thank you for this review Mr. Oosthuizen. I've been looking for an in-depth review because since hearing about this car, I have been considering it quite a bit.

[khalidballim]

I'm glad you compared to a Sorento and similar class, rather than most other journos who compares it to the ravs/etc

[terrenced]

Had an adult sit on 3rd row. Had to marginally compromise 2nd row and driver seating position to make it work. (Very small compromise) so third row does work for adult if all can compromise. As opposed to a 5 seater this 7 seater can work.

I don't know how to start, but I would love to be in a family of Tiggo 8 Pro owners, where we have online platform to share our experiences, tips and tricks...

I never loved a car this much...

[discipleofchristjesus]

The colour is so beautiful and was waw the monthly installment of R6500 whilst im praying R6000 per month for Toyota etios rent to buy as I was low on score soon as i rise like Phoenix will consider it so nice and lovely review

[SammyMachethe]

Mr. Oosthuizen, how do you find the rear mirror and the brakes? When I test drove, I wasn't really thrown out, but I hear quite a few People wary about it...

[SammyMachethe]

Great review I must say. Does it have heated seats? I forgot to check when I went to check it out and for a test drive. Also I can't find this on most or any review. I would love this as I am planning to get this before the winter hits.

Busy buying the cheaper version as the tan colour does not work for me and much less windnoise without the sunroof

Your review came at just the right time. I drove this car today and while it's absolutely gorgeous, the pull-away is a pain in the ass. Nothing nothing nothing and then wheel screech! Also had the car become completely unresponsive for about 15seconds at a traffic light. Also noticed that you have to drive it quite hard to get going which makes me worry about the real world consumption. Real talk, how did you find the drive of this vehicle compared to say a Haval H6 (which I'm on the flippen 6 month long waiting list for)? I can get a purple Chery next week, but I'm in 2 minds about it. Help me out please :)

I was initially interested in the Tiggo 7 Pro but when I saw it in person it seemed even narrower than this. That's the only thing that I'm unsure about.

[malfan]

Regarding the SUV's front-wheel drive system, I'm curious about its performance on slippery surfaces such as a sloping dirt road in the countryside or very steep and slippery roads in Cape Town. Can you provide insights into how well it handles these challenging conditions, and if there are any specific features or technologies that enhance its traction and stability in such scenarios?

[maharaslam]

Very good review. Nd beautiful car I'm Pakistani

[Tubeson]

Does the Sony Sound include a Subwoofer?

[abdulraoof]

Can you show the colours available in this SUV?

[wandankulu]

Hey guys anyone knows if there's all black interior for 8 pro executive?

[gohyuheng]

Hello, how is the soundproofing of this car?

[kosiekoos]

I only take car advice from men with beards.🤜🏽😁

I am grateful for your review but your delivery skills need a lot of work or otherwise tighter editing. Perhaps you could benefit from a script? I couldn't make it through the whole vid, you're just so needlessly long-winded that even YOU seemed bored by the whole thing. How can I be excited if you look bored to death?

I promise I'm not trying to be unfair or a dick about all of this btw, I'm a huge believer that us South Africans need to be more present on online platforms and I want you to succeed. If you can polish up your presentation and tighten up your editing then you'll easily get more subs.

PS Juliet McGuire gets it right - if you can apply her style of fast paced, entertaining delivery and editing to your format I think you'd have a winning combo.
