Chery Tiggo 8
Why this model
What makes the Chery Tiggo 8 worth importing
Seven seats at a five-seat price
The three-row Tiggo 8 undercuts every Japanese and Korean seven-seater in its class. In markets where families are large and budgets are tight, the seat count alone closes sales.
Assembled in seven countries
Chery builds the Tiggo 8 in Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, Iran, Pakistan and Russia as well as China. Local assembly means the model already carries type approval in those markets and parts channels exist.
Petrol or plug-in hybrid on one body
The same car is available as a straightforward 1.5T petrol or a 255 kW C-DM plug-in hybrid with 90 km of electric range. One showroom, two very different buyers.
Proven in Russia and the CIS
Chery is consistently among the top-selling Chinese brands in Russia, and the Tiggo 8 is one of the reasons. Cold-weather durability is established rather than theoretical.

A dash means the manufacturer does not publish that figure for this version — we do not estimate it. Range standards differ: CLTC and NEDC read higher than WLTP for the same car, so compare like with like when quoting against a European rival.

About this model
Where the Chery Tiggo 8 sits in the market
The Tiggo 8 is Chery's mid-size family SUV and one of the highest-volume Chinese vehicles in export markets. It has run since 2017 through several revisions — Tiggo 8, 8 Pro, Pro Max and the C-DM plug-in hybrid — with engines from a 115 kW 1.5-litre turbo up to a 187 kW 2.0-litre turbo, plus a 255 kW plug-in hybrid, and five, six or seven seats.
Its strength for an importer is maturity. Chery assembles the Tiggo 8 locally in Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, Iran, Pakistan and Russia, and retails it in Australia, the UK, Spain, Mexico, the Philippines, South Africa and Thailand. That means the model already meets several major certification regimes and has established parts flow. It competes against the Honda CR-V, Nissan X-Trail and Mitsubishi Outlander on space and equipment while sitting well below them on price.
Sold in several parallel versions — Tiggo 8, Tiggo 8 Pro, Pro Max and the C-DM plug-in hybrid — with 5, 6 and 7-seat layouts. Specify which version and seat count you need, because the export line-up differs by market.
Before you order
What an importer must know about the Chery Tiggo 8
LHD is standard; right-hand-drive availability is not confirmed for every variant, so verify before quoting Australia, South Africa or Southeast Asian RHD markets — Chery does supply RHD in some of them through its own distributors. Because Chery assembles this model locally in several countries, check whether your destination is served by a Chery plant or distributor first: where it is, you are competing with the manufacturer's own channel and factory warranty follows that channel. The plug-in hybrid needs no charging infrastructure to function but delivers its economy benefit only when charged.
Market fit
Where the Chery Tiggo 8 sells
Based on documented export presence and how the vehicle suits local conditions — not a guarantee of homologation, which we confirm per market before you order.
Russia and the CIS
Chery is a top-selling Chinese brand there, with local assembly in St Petersburg and proven cold-weather service history.
Russia import process, duties and routes →Latin America
Brazilian assembly at Anápolis and Mexican retail presence mean homologation routes are established for the region.
Southeast Asia
Local assembly in Indonesia and Malaysia; large-family seven-seat demand is the core of the segment.
Middle East and Africa
South Africa and Gulf markets take Chery officially; the 2.0T engine suits high-speed highway use in hot climates.
