Our verdict on the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max
For buyers after a seven-seat SUV, the Tiggo 8 Pro Max is a comprehensive package at a good price. The cabin feels almost luxurious for the money and is packed with tech, and the 2.0-litre turbo is punchy (we timed 6.95 seconds to 100km/h in the Ultimate AWD) yet fairly efficient for its size. The firmer, European-feeling ride is a highlight, but the steering is vague, the dual-clutch can be clunky at low speeds, the driver monitoring is intrusive and the third row is tight for adults. Even the entry Urban is generously equipped with heated and cooled seats; the Ultimate adds all-wheel drive, a panoramic sunroof and 10-speaker Sony audio.
