Chery South Africa has committed to launching the flagship Tiggo 8 Pro ‘within weeks’ as a direct result of sales success with the Tiggo 4 Pro.
“The success of the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro has surprised our dealer network, which reports increasing interest and sales of all models in the range.”
“We have also welcomed five more dealers in the short few months since its introduction, which means customers can now choose from one of 42 dealers across South Africa to test drive and purchase their new Chery,” says Tony Liu, Executive Deputy General Manager of Chery South Africa.
Liu says it has received the commitment of Chery’s global head office in China for additional production of both the Tiggo 4 Pro and the new Tiggo 8 Pro, with the first Tiggo 8 Pro models already tested and homologated for the South African market.
“We are extremely excited about the new Tiggo 8 Pro. While the Tiggo 4 Pro and our 1-million kilometre mechanical warranty has done a lot to demonstrate the quality and technology available in Chery vehicles, the Tiggo 8 Pro will simply blow people away,” says Liu.
Two models of the Tiggo 8 Pro will be available at launch. Both will be fitted with Chery’s 1,6-litre TGDI petrol engine using advanced thermal management, adaptive turbo charging and direct injection to deliver 136 kW and 290 Nm of torque.
Both models will also offer features such as Around View Monitor, an 8-speaker SONY sound system, two high definition TFT displays (with a third in the flagship model) and dual-zone climate control with pharmaceutical grade N95 air filtration.
All models will further offer 7 seats as standard.
