Chery has confirmed that the Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid will be its first model sold in the UK market.

The seven-seater plug-in hybrid (PHEV) SUV made its UK debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where it was driven up the hill-climb course by an all-female racing team.

Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid models are powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, supported by two electric motors, for a total of 204PS.

Combined range is 745 miles, with 56 miles of electric-only driving.

The Tiggo 8 can fast charge, or charge the battery via the petrol engine.

Standard equipment includes adaptive cruise control with lane centring, and a cabin filtration system.

Ventilated front seats, a 12-speaker Sony sound system, a panoramic sunroof, and ambient lighting will also be available on the Tiggo 8.

Farrell Hsu, country director at Chery UK, 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.”

First UK deliveries are expected by the end of the summer, and pricing will be announced soon.
