About the Chery Tiggo 8

Chery is one of China’s most established vehicle manufacturers. Founded in 1997, Chery Group now operates across more than 100 countries and regions and has more than 17 million users globally. Chery Group is also behind the Omoda and Jaecoo brands, which have already established a presence in the UK.

The Tiggo 8 was introduced to UK customers in 2025 as a large seven-seat SUV. It sits above the five-seat Tiggo 7 and below the larger Tiggo 9 Super Hybrid in Chery’s current UK range.

It is positioned against established family SUVs such as the Škoda Kodiaq, Volkswagen Tayron and Peugeot 5008, offering a seven-seat layout, a high level of standard technology and a choice between petrol and plug-in-hybrid power.

For drivers who want maximum family practicality without moving into the premium SUV market, the Tiggo 8 is worth a close look.

Chery Tiggo 8 Trims – Aspire and Summit

The Tiggo 8 is available in two main UK trim levels, Aspire and Summit. Exact equipment can vary by powertrain and model year, so the specification of the individual vehicle should always be checked before ordering.

Aspire

The Aspire is the entry point to the Tiggo 8 range, but it still includes a substantial amount of standard equipment.

Standard equipment includes:

• 19-inch alloy wheels
• Dual 15.6-inch displays
• Diamond-stitched synthetic-leather seat facings
• Six-way electrically adjustable driver’s seat
• 50W wireless phone charging
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• 540-degree panoramic-view camera
• Passive entry and start
• Adaptive cruise control and a range of driver-assistance systems

Chery’s current UK material confirms the dual displays, synthetic-leather seating, wireless connectivity, powered driver’s seat, wireless charging and 540-degree camera. 

Summit

The Summit builds on the Aspire specification and adds equipment designed to improve comfort and convenience on longer family journeys.

Additional equipment includes:

• Powered panoramic sunroof
• Powered rear tailgate
• Four-way electrically adjustable front passenger seat
• Heated steering wheel
• Heated and ventilated front seats
• Heated second-row seats
• Front passenger massage function
• Head-up display
• 12-speaker Sony premium sound system

Some equipment may differ between the petrol and Super Hybrid versions, so check the exact derivative before ordering. 

The Chery Tiggo 8 Seven-Seat Space Story

Seven seats are one of the Tiggo 8’s biggest selling points. Chery describes the arrangement as a flexible 5+2 layout, with five seats across the first two rows and two additional foldable seats in the third row.

With all seven seats in use, the Tiggo 8 provides 117 litres of luggage capacity. Fold the third row and this increases to 494 litres, giving you considerably more space for shopping, luggage, a pushchair or work equipment. 

With both rear rows folded, Chery quotes up to 1,930 litres of cargo space. This gives the Tiggo 8 the flexibility to handle school runs, family holidays and larger loads without requiring a separate estate car or van. 

Petrol vs PHEV – Which Chery Tiggo 8 Is Right for You?

The Tiggo 8 is available with two powertrains. The right choice will depend on your mileage, journey pattern, charging access and monthly budget.

Chery Tiggo 8 Petrol

The petrol Tiggo 8 uses a 1.6-litre turbocharged engine producing 147PS, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Key details include:

• 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine
• 147PS maximum power
• Seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox
• Official combined fuel economy of 36.2mpg
• No charging required
• Usually the lower-priced entry point to the range

The petrol model may suit drivers who do not have reliable access to a home or workplace charger, or those who prefer the simplicity of a conventional petrol powertrain. Its 36.2mpg figure is based on WLTP laboratory testing, and real-world economy will vary. 

Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid PHEV

The Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid combines a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor and an 18.4kWh high-voltage battery.

Key details include:

• 1.5-litre turbocharged plug-in-hybrid powertrain
• 204PS combined output
• Up to 56 miles of official electric range
• 18.4kWh battery
• 40kW DC rapid-charging capability
• Approximately 20 minutes for a 30% to 80% charge under suitable conditions
• Chery claims up to 750 miles of combined driving range

The official range and charging figures are based on controlled testing. Actual results will vary according to speed, temperature, payload, driving style, traffic, use of heating or air conditioning and charging conditions. 

The PHEV is likely to suit drivers who can charge regularly and complete many of their everyday journeys within its electric range. When driven in electric mode, it produces no tailpipe emissions for that part of the journey.

However, it should not be assumed that the PHEV will automatically save money over the petrol model. The overall cost depends on the difference in monthly rental, electricity tariff, petrol price, charging frequency and number of miles driven electrically.

The Super Hybrid can still be driven when it has not been plugged in. It will operate in a similar way to a conventional hybrid, although you will lose the benefit of its full electric-only range and may not achieve its best efficiency. 

Chery Tiggo 8 PHEV Charging Guide

The Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid supports both AC home charging and DC public charging.

Home charging with a wallbox

A compatible home wallbox is normally the most convenient option for regular charging. It allows you to charge while the vehicle is parked at home and schedule charging for times when your electricity tariff may be cheaper.

A fully charged battery provides an official electric range of up to 56 miles, although the range shown by the vehicle will vary according to conditions and recent driving.

Home-charger installation may be available alongside your lease, subject to your property, electrical supply, eligibility, installation survey and quotation.

Charging from a three-pin socket

Charging from a domestic three-pin socket is possible but considerably slower than using a dedicated wallbox. It is better treated as an occasional or backup option, and the socket and electrical installation must be safe and suitable for sustained vehicle charging.

Public DC charging

The Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid supports DC charging at up to 40kW. Chery states that the battery can be charged from 30% to 80% in around 20 minutes using a suitable charger under controlled conditions. Actual charging speed will depend on the charger, battery temperature, battery charge level and other conditions. 

The Chery app can also provide battery information, charging controls, charging schedules, cabin pre-conditioning and assistance locating public chargepoints. 

For longer journeys, rapid charging can be useful where it is convenient and cost-effective. However, the Tiggo 8 can continue its journey using its petrol engine when the usable electric charge has been depleted.

The Chery Tiggo 8 Seven-Year Warranty

Every new Chery Tiggo 8 sold in the UK comes with a manufacturer warranty lasting seven years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.

The warranty covers qualifying manufacturing or material defects and is subject to Chery’s terms, exclusions and servicing requirements. Routine servicing, wear-and-tear items, tyres, accidental damage and problems caused by misuse or inadequate maintenance are not generally covered. 

The high-voltage battery fitted to the Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid has a separate warranty lasting eight years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Where a qualifying manufacturing defect causes the battery to fail, Chery’s warranty provides coverage intended to restore it to at least 70% of its original capacity. 

For a typical new-car lease lasting three or four years, the vehicle should normally remain within the manufacturer-warranty period throughout the agreement, provided it stays below the mileage limit and all warranty conditions are met.

Why Lease the Chery Tiggo 8?

The Tiggo 8 combines family space, a strong standard specification and a choice of two powertrains.

Reasons to consider it include:

• Seven seats as standard across the range
• Choice of 147PS petrol or 204PS plug-in-hybrid power
• Up to 56 miles of official electric range from the Super Hybrid
• 117 litres of luggage capacity with all seven seats in use
• 494 litres with the third row folded
• Seven-year or 100,000-mile manufacturer warranty
• Eight-year or 100,000-mile high-voltage battery warranty on the PHEV
• Dual 15.6-inch displays and extensive standard technology

The Tiggo 8 is one of two seven-seat SUVs in Chery’s current UK range, sitting below the larger Tiggo 9 Super Hybrid.

How Does the Chery Tiggo 8 Compare with Rivals?

Lease prices can change regularly, so any comparison should use deals based on the same contract length, mileage, initial rental, maintenance provision and fees.

Škoda Kodiaq

The Škoda Kodiaq is available in both five-seat and seven-seat forms, depending on the engine and specification. Its plug-in-hybrid versions are five-seat models, while a range of petrol and diesel derivatives is available with seven seats. 

The Kodiaq has a longer-established UK presence and a broader selection of derivatives, while the Tiggo 8 counters with its standard seven-seat layout, extensive equipment and longer standard manufacturer warranty.

Volkswagen Tayron

The Volkswagen Tayron is available with either five or seven seats, depending on powertrain. The plug-in-hybrid eHybrid is a five-seat model, whereas the Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid combines a plug-in-hybrid powertrain with seven seats. 

Peugeot 5008

The Peugeot 5008 has seven seats as standard and is currently available with hybrid, plug-in-hybrid and fully electric powertrains. Its PHEV provides an official electric range of up to approximately 55 miles, making it one of the Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid’s closest alternatives.

The Tiggo 8 should be compared on its complete package rather than monthly rental alone, including equipment, powertrain, warranty, initial rental, annual mileage and any compulsory fees.
