Chery Tiggo 8 Pro range grows with more affordable option
A Chinese manufacturer has quietly introduced a new entry-level variant, priced from below R500 000, to our market.
Chery has expanded its local Tiggo 8 Pro model line-up with the introduction of a new entry-level derivative, the Tiggo 8 Pro LS.
The Tiggo 8 Pro LS is powered by the Chinese automaker’s 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine developing 145kW and 290Nm of torque – the latter available in a broad 1 750-4 000r/min swathe of the rev band. Power is delivered to the front wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Chery claims the Tiggo 8 Pro LS completes the 0-100km/h sprint in 8.9 seconds, before topping out at 190km/h. The Tiggo 8 Pro LS returns a claimed 7.2L/100km; translating to a driving range of 708km from a full, 51L tank of fuel.
The interior features dual 12.3-inch displays (for instrumentation and infotainment, respectively), a wireless smartphone charging tray, dual-zone climate control, heated and ventilated electrically adjustable front seats, and synthetic leather upholstery. A 540-degree surround-view camera system and rear park distance sensors are also included. Safety items include six airbags and several advanced driver assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. The Tiggo 8 Pro LS rides on a set of 18-inch alloy wheels.
