2026 Chery Tiggo 8 - Exterior and Interior Details

2026 Chery Tiggo 8 Is the Chery Tiggo 8 a good car? The Chery Tiggo is a seven-seat SUV with the option of a plug-in hybrid engine – all for the price of a European hatchback. What’s more, the interior is a match for much posher motors from the likes of Audi and Mercedes, but the driving experience isn’t as good as those cars. Yet its practicality, sheer value for money and great interior mean the Tiggo 8 is so good that not only is it worth buying, it’s driven away with the crown at the 2026 Carwow Car of the Year awards - while its superb hybrid engine means it’s nabbed the Hybrid Hero award, too. It’s a bit like buying the cheapest coffee machine on Amazon. It might not be quite as refined an experience as a big, chrome piece of kit, but does that matter when the end result is still a tasty coffee? Oh, and it costs half the price of the latest Ninja contraption. Finding alternatives to cross shop the Tiggo 8 with is actually rather tricky, because it’s so much cheaper than other seven-seat SUVs such as the Peugeot 5008 and Kia Sorento. Similarly priced five-seaters include the Kia Sportage and Citroen C5 Aircross if you don’t really need the third row, but then there’s also Chery’s own Tiggo 7 to consider. Okay so the Tiggo 8’s exterior design doesn’t quite have the gravitas of an Audi or BMW, and it’s a touch generic from the side and rear. But up front it’s smart enough, with a big imposing grille and chunky front bumper. It’s the interior that really impresses, though. The materials and solid build quality feel a match for those more premium, more expensive alternatives. You get a big infotainment display in the centre that has a crisp resolution and responds quickly, which is fortunate because the downside is that pretty much everything runs through the screen. That means there are some annoyingly clunky functions, such as switching to the climate controls from Apple CarPlay or Android Auto (both of which come as standard). How much is the Chery Tiggo 8? The Chery Tiggo 8 has a RRP range of £28,545 to £36,545. However, with Carwow you can save on average £3,000. Prices start at £30,545 if paying cash. Monthly payments start at £256. The Chery Tiggo 8’s trump card is its price. If you’re looking at the petrol model, prices start at about £28,500, or it’s £33,500 for the plug-in hybrid. In both cases it’s £3,000 extra to step up to the Summit trim, which absolutely feels worth it given the fact you get heated and ventilated seats in the front two rows, a head-up display and a Sony sound system. These are all things you wouldn’t be surprised to pay extra for on cars that cost twice the price. For context, the natural alternatives are the Kia Sorento and Peugeot 5008, which start at £43,000 and £40,000 respectively, or £47,000 and £44,000 respectively for the plug-in hybrids. The Dacia Jogger is the seven-seat outlier, starting at about £19,000, but then it’s nowhere near as posh nor tech-filled as any of the cars mentioned above.
