Chery UK made history today as the first model confirmed for the UK market, the Chery Tiggo 8, made its UK dynamic debut at Goodwood Festival of Speed. Showcased just days after confirming its market introduction, Chery UK took to the famed Hill in the seven-seater Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid.
Shown today in the UK for the first time, the Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid is a spacious, hybrid-powered SUV that combines striking design with smart technology and everyday practicality. With Chery International-derived brands already making waves in the UK, through OMODA and JAECOO, the arrival of the Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid signals the group’s next chapter.
Driven by a pure female team, the Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid is capable of 745 miles, including 56 EV-only miles, is self-charging and equipped with fast charging, too. Tackling the Hill and 27-degree heat, the hybrid powertrain and ventilated front seats proved the perfect companion for today’s dynamic debut.
Participating in the Festival’s First Glance category, the Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid will complete daily runs on the world-famous hill climb throughout the event. The model will also be on static display in the First Glance paddock, giving guests a closer look at its high-spec interior, premium finishes and advanced infotainment features.
Chery UK Country Director, Farrell Hsu, said: “Goodwood is one of the most prestigious stages in the automotive world – so there’s no better place to reveal Chery’s most versatile and refined hybrid SUV to a UK audience. The Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid is a perfect expression of what Chery stands for: smart technology, generous space and electrified efficiency without compromise. It’s designed to make people happy, knowing they’ve made the smart choice for their next SUV.”
At the heart of the Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid is Chery’s latest-generation Super Hybrid powertrain – a sophisticated dual-motor full hybrid setup mated to a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine. It delivers a combined system output of 204 PS and 365 Nm of torque, while offering electric-only driving at urban speeds and impressively low fuel consumption over longer distances.
Inside, the Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid combines comfort and flexibility across three rows of seating (5+2). The digital cockpit features a full-width dual-screen layout with voice control, a Sony 12-speaker system, wireless smartphone integration, ambient lighting and a panoramic sunroof. A suite of driver assistance systems comes as standard, including adaptive cruise control, cabin filtration system and lane centring.
UK pricing and specifications for the Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid will be announced in the coming weeks, with first customer deliveries expected at the end of summer. For UK buyers, the Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid offers the reassurance of a brand with proven international credibility, alongside a comprehensive 7-year/100,000-mile warranty, whichever comes first.
Chery – the largest exporter of vehicles from China for the past 22 years – has a proven track record of success across global territories. The UK go-to-market strategy features UK-optimised Chery models and combines traditional franchise dealerships with a strong emphasis on warranty and aftermarket care. Many of these dealerships already represent OMODA&JAECOO in the UK.
