Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max 2024 review: China's new Kia Sorento rival arrives to tempt family SUV buyers |
|
The 2024 Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max is here to shake up Australia's seven-seat SUV segment. While it might sound like a flagship Apple iPhone, this newcomer is actually a segment-straddler, with the popular Kia Sorento only about 100mm longer. Either way, China's latest challenger is hoping to steal family car sales away from the establishment.
So, what does the Tiggo 8 Pro Max bring to the table? Well, as you'd expect, it's loaded to the gills with standard equipment, with the three-variant range opening with dual 12.3-inch displays, heated and ventilated front seats, and surround-view cameras – and that's just the start of it. In this expert review, CarsGuide Senior Journalist Tom White attends the Tiggo 8 Pro Max's local media launch to find out how well and its 180kW/375Nm 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine and seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission perform. Yep, there's no hybrid option here – yet. That said, there is a choice between front- and all-wheel drive, even if the latter means stumping up for the range-topping Ultimate. #Chery #Tiggo8 #Review -- Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 00:35 Pricing and features 02:05 Design 02:44 Practicality 06:53 Under the bonnet 07:20 Efficiency 07:52 Driving 13:38 Safety 14:57 Ownership 15:30 Verdict -- Read Tom's full review: https://bit.ly/4bjywOs Check out our Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max hub: https://bit.ly/3WOARML Find more SUVs: https://bit.ly/3QVs1X1 Visit our FamilyGuide: https://bit.ly/3BS40vC -- CarsGuide - Go beyond the test drive Visit our website for News, Reviews, Advice and more: https://www.carsguide.com.au Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/carsguide Like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/carsguide.australia Follow our Instagram profile: https://www.instagram.com/carsguideaus Follow our TikTok profile: https://www.tiktok.com/@carsguide.com.au Follow our X profile: https://www.x.com/CarsGuide Follow our LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/carsguide-com-au |
