What the Tiggo 8 PHEV delivers
The Tiggo 8 CSH (Chery Super Hybrid) is Chery’s full-size family flagship in plug-in hybrid form: seven seats, high-spec cabin tech and a hybrid powertrain tuned for long total range and strong EV capability. It’s built for buyers who want daily electric commuting without giving up range for weekend trips. Key selling points for South African buyers are a substantial claimed EV radius, strong combined output for brisk performance, and competitive warranty and service cover that reduce ownership anxiety.
Price & Value proposition
Value pillars:
- EV-first daily use — ~90 km EV range covers most commutes, saving fuel and running cost if charged regularly.
- Low long-distance worry — combined battery + petrol range claimed at ~1,200 km, so long trips are practical.
- Warranty & service — Chery’s market-leading warranty structure helps reduce TCO risk (7-yr vehicle warranty + extended engine/battery protections for the first owner — check T&Cs).
- Tech & luxury for the money — large screens, premium audio, ADAS features and a seven-seat layout at a price that undercuts many rivals.
Performance & economy — numbers buyers ask about
- Power / torque: Combined system output 255 kW and 525 Nm delivers brisk acceleration and confident overtaking.
- Battery & EV range: ~18.3 kWh LFP battery giving up to ~90 km of pure electric range under ideal conditions. Real-world EV range varies with speed, load, climate and driving style.
- Charging: DC fast charge (30→80%) ~20 minutes (dealer & charger dependent); AC/home charging will be slower — overnight charging is typical at standard home sockets.
- Fuel use: If charged frequently, manufacturer figures show very low petrol consumption (example quoted ~1.3 L/100 km in charge-frequent use; if running mainly on petrol or with low SOC, expect real-world figures closer to ~5.2 L/100 km). Your typical fuel bill depends on how often you charge
Technology & comfort (feature highlights)
- Cockpit & infotainment: 15.6″ curved touchscreen, digital cluster, HUD and wireless phone integration.
- Premium audio: factory 12-speaker Sony system on higher trims.
- Practicality: full 7-seat layout (2+3+2) with flexible seating and decent cargo with seats folded.
- Comfort & refinement: panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, ventilated & powered seats (trim dependent).
- Driver aids & safety tech: ADAS suite (adaptive cruise, lane-keep, autonomous emergency braking, parking aids + surround cameras) and multi-airbag protection (confirm exact count per trim).
Ownership, warranty & after-sales
Chery’s South African ownership package is one of the Tiggo 8 PHEV’s strong selling points: extended manufacturer and engine warranties plus battery protections are offered (manufacturer/dealer T&Cs apply).
