London, 6 August 2025 – CHERY has officially confirmed UK pricing and specifications for its first seven-seat SUV to reach British shores, the CHERY TIGGO 8. With first deliveries set to commence from 1 September, this all-new model marks a bold entry into the competitive D-segment SUV market, combining versatility, innovation, and value in a package engineered specifically for the UK.
Starting at £28,545 OTR for the petrol-powered 1.6-litre TDGI Aspire, and £33,545 OTR for the advanced Super Hybrid, the CHERY TIGGO 8 brings a compelling proposition to family buyers. Featuring two powertrain options and two high-specification trims – Aspire and Summit – the TIGGO 8 is CHERY’s strongest UK offering to date and is poised to redefine what buyers expect from a seven-seater SUV.
Modern Powertrain Choices with Efficiency at the Core
The CHERY TIGGO 8 is available in two highly efficient variants. The 1.6-litre Turbocharged Direct Gasoline Injection (TDGI) engine delivers 147 PS and 275 Nm of torque, achieving a 0-62 mph time of 9.8 seconds and a top speed of 118 mph. Designed for daily usability and longer hauls alike, it’s a compelling pure-petrol option for those seeking dependable performance.
For those leaning toward electrification, the Super Hybrid offers exceptional flexibility. With a total WLTP range of 745 miles, including 56 miles of EV-only driving, and rapid charging capabilities (30–80% in just 20 minutes), it marries range with convenience. Its impressive 31 g/km CO₂ emissions open the door to favourable tax benefits and low running costs – making it an intelligent choice for both private owners and company car drivers.
Technology Meets Everyday Practicality
Inside, the TIGGO 8’s design has been shaped around the needs of modern families. The 5+2 seating layout and over 66% space utilisation rate ensure adaptability without compromise. With all rear rows folded flat, the SUV offers a class-leading 1,930 litres of boot space – enough for everything from weekend getaways to hardware store runs.
At the heart of the driver-focused interior is a crisp 15.6-inch Quad HD infotainment screen, featuring Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and a 50W wireless charger with integrated cooling. The system is designed for intuitive use, and paired with a multi-function steering wheel, keeps controls within easy reach.
The TIGGO 8 also boasts a suite of ADAS features designed to elevate safety and confidence on every drive. These include 540-degree camera technology, Adaptive Cruise Control, Traffic Jam Assist, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Collision Warning Systems, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Intelligent Headlight Control, and Departure Ahead Inform.

A Confident Step Forward for CHERY in the UK
Backed by Chery International’s European R&D centre, the TIGGO 8 has been fine-tuned for UK roads and driving conditions. According to Farrell Hsu, Deputy Country Director of CHERY UK, the new SUV represents the brand’s commitment to long-term investment in the UK:
“CHERY’s launch pricing positions our seven-seat SUV as a true category standout – delivering the space, specification and smart technology of a far more expensive vehicle, with the reassurance of a comprehensive warranty and trusted global engineering.”
“At this price point, few rivals come close. Here, a competitive price is matched with genuine value – a brand-new car, backed by the scale, experience and reliability of Chery International, one of the world’s most established automotive manufacturers.”
Peace of Mind, Built In
Every CHERY TIGGO 8 comes with a 7-year/100,000-mile manufacturer warranty (unlimited mileage in the first three years), while the Super Hybrid variant receives an additional 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty. RAC Home Start cover is also included as standard.
With pre-orders now open via cherycar.co.uk, and the UK-wide dealer network preparing for first deliveries from 1 September, the CHERY TIGGO 8 marks the beginning of a new era for value-conscious British families – offering them a smarter, better-equipped, and more future-ready SUV than ever before.
