Is This Cheap Seven-Seat SUV Any Good? (Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max 2024 Review)

Detailed review and test of the 2024 Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max three-row SUV including price, warranty, interior, driving and more.

The Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max is a seven-seat family SUV that arrives at a sharper price point than a Mitsubishi Outlander, Honda CR-V or Nissan X-Trail, but is this Chinese crossover actually worth considering?

While it does have a few flaws - such as awkward access to the third row, and a clunky dual-clutch automatic at low speed - the Tiggo 8 Pro Max is a remarkably decent vehicle to sit in and to drive - at least on first impressions.

These cars are very popular in Iran and anyone who owns them absolutely loves them. The quality is really good and they don’t have any major issues. There is no much difference these days quality wise between Chinese and Korean cars. Hard to believe but is the truth.

One SUV ive been waiting for. For a long long time

The worst thing about the Japanese and other established brands is if one remember the old days, they rip you off by making you paying more for options, such as power windows, aircond, folding mirrors, 360view camera, etc, better looking grille, and you basically getting half a car if you don't pick the higher model!.at least Chinese brands are more generous and give you most of the things you really need!

My dad bought me a 2024 BMW 320i LCI. It has no leather seats, no power tailgate, no sunroof, no reverse camera, and the list goes on.
Would you advise me to exchange it for a Tiggo 8 Pro Max? The price is similar.

Not long after a year of launching the Omoda, Chery with the Tiggos will soon outsell Honda in Australia. Honda has been here for 60 years 😂

The face lift (which was actually kind of a heavy one) was announced 2 weeks ago in china

[Nkosie]

Those who have owned it for a while does the fuel consumption improve?

[TheHersonCastillo]

The Big Three automakers in the U.S. would be shaking at their knees 😅🤣

I have 1.6l, 2WD version. Its really nice.
The only drawback is 51l fuel tank which gives me a range anxiety.

Chery now a days is like Hyundai back in the 1990s. Desperately washing away the poor quality stereotype while trying to survive. They are an established brand in China, but is getting out competed in Domestic market. They are doing surprisingly well worldwide though. From producing copycat Hyundai Getz to this, it’s quite a journey.

DROVE THIS CAR BACK TO BACK WITH THE HAVAL H6 HYBRID - THE H6 HYBRID HAD EVERY EXTRA THAT THIS HAS PLUS HUD (SPEED ON SCREEN) FOR A MUCH CHEAPER PRICE. PICKED THE H6 AFTER MY BROTHER TOLD ME ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS CHERYS OMODA 5 HAS - ONLY GET THIS IF YOU ARE DESPERATE FOR 7 SEATS

Hybrid coming to South Africa mid 2024

Nothing screams Chinese more than the 17 badges on the back, all completely different sizes and in different fonts 😂. Saw one in traffic yesterday and the badges look ridiculous.

[aa]

Is this a repackaged Haval H6. Looks identical especially the rear.

[joeljacobmathew]

Dual cluth . Clunky. I wouldnt ever touch this coming from a ford focus dual clutch transmission. Issues from day 1.

[rahul]

I did a test drive and i am not bashimg hyundai youotas and even chery. I still dont understand why makers wanna make and name these cars as 7 seaters in which an adult literally feels claustrophobic.
I went in mt friends CX 8 whoch is mazda and after 2 min i leterally had to beg him to ipen the boot. I actually jumped out from the rear as i couldnt wait for him to get our kids out and I go out normal way lol
best i have seen is kia carnival and am waiting to check on Santa Fe. Rest all cars are truly crap in my opinion for calling them 7 seater

[soundknight]

It’s a remarkably Nissan looking shopping bag of a car.

[mtano]

Dont compare this car to Mitsubishi Outlander or Honda CRV or Toyota.... No point. Try to compare apple to apple that make sense👍🏻

[Terror-ilnm]

Just like your phone this car will only last 3 years 😂

[bananabear]

Chinese cars are like copycats of a bunch of established brands with large display panels. I would rather buy a car with less bells and whistles but works flawlessly during its lifespan, with a little bit of personality.
