This new, accessibly priced Chery Tiggo 8 might make waves in the market.

Chery Malaysia has officially expanded its flagship SUV lineup with the introduction of a new, highly attainable seven-seater variant. Launched on January 16, 2026, the all-new Chery Tiggo 8 joins the family as a value-driven sibling to the Tiggo 8 Pro and Tiggo 8 PHEV, designed to make premium mobility more accessible to Malaysian families.

Performance and Efficiency

The new Tiggo 8 is powered by a 1.6-litre Turbocharged Gasoline Direct Injection (TGDi) engine paired with a smooth 7-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT).

A one-touch power tailgate adds further convenience for effortless loading.

The cabin is designed for a premium experience, featuring:
