Chery Australia Launches Tiggo 8 Pro Max: A New Contender in the Seven-Seat SUV Market

Chery Australia has made a significant entry into the competitive seven-seat SUV market with the launch of its Tiggo 8 Pro Max. Priced assertively, the Chinese brand aims to attract buyers in this bustling segment by offering a blend of luxury, performance, and advanced features at a competitive price point.

Pricing and Trim Levels

The Tiggo 8 Pro Max is available in three trim levels:

While it’s not the most affordable seven-seat SUV in Australia—that title belongs to the Mahindra XUV700, starting at $36,990 drive-away—the Tiggo 8 Pro Max still offers substantial value.

Engine and Performance

All variants of the Tiggo 8 Pro Max are powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol four-cylinder engine producing 180kW and 375Nm. This engine is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The Urban and Elite models are front-wheel drive, while the Ultimate AWD model includes all-wheel drive with Borg Warner components and additional drive modes (Snow, Mud, and Offroad) along with Normal, Sport, and Eco modes.

For comparison, the Mahindra XUV700’s 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine delivers 149kW and 380Nm, slightly less powerful but slightly more torquey than the Tiggo 8 Pro Max.

Fuel Efficiency and Emissions

The Tiggo 8 Pro Max offers reasonable fuel efficiency:

All versions comply with Euro 6 emissions standards and require 95RON premium unleaded fuel. The fuel tank capacity is 57 litres.

Features and Specifications

Chery has equipped each Tiggo 8 Pro Max model with a robust set of features to ensure a luxurious and high-performance driving experience. The blend of advanced technology, comfort, and safety features across all trims positions the Tiggo 8 Pro Max as an attractive option for families and individuals looking for a versatile and spacious SUV.
