On June 17, Chery released the rendering images of its Tiggo 8L SUV, positioned as an “all-scenario family mid-size SUV” and the flagship model of the Tiggo 8 series with a “5+2” seat layout. It recently was granted a sales license by the Chinese regulator and is expected to launch in August to September timeframe.

Earlier on April 26, the Tiggo 8 series reached its 500,000th vehicle milestone with the Tiggo 8 Plus Kunpeng e+ rolling off the production line, making the series the fastest Chinese mid-size SUV and 7-seater SUV to reach this milestone, according to Chery. In 2023, the series sold 127,018 vehicles, a slight year-on-year increase of 5.4%. Furthermore, the entire Chery Tiggo family was the best-selling Chinese gasoline-powered SUV with a sales volume of 940,000 units.

In the front, the Chery Tiggo 8L has a larger grille with a dot matrix design, decorated with chrome trim around the edges. From the side, the Chery Tiggo 8L adopts hidden door handles, densely spoked rims, black wheel eyebrows, and a sunroof. The D-pillar position has a clear corner design.

In the rear, the horizontal through-type taillight is coupled with the “CHERY” English logo and dual-sided exhaust layout, further highlighting the sportiness of the vehicle. Power will come from a 2.0T turbocharged engine code-named SQRF4J20, with a maximum power of 187 kW (251 hp) and a peak torque of 390 Nm. The Chery Tiggo 8L will also provide two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive options, with a fuel consumption of 7.8L/100km and 8.5L/100km, respectively.
