Chery reveals price and specification for TIGGO 8 Super Hybrid

Chery Motor has revealed that the TIGGO 8 Super Hybrid model will be priced from $51,990 plus on-road costs (Ultimate model), representing outstanding value in the New Zealand market.

Super Hybrid efficiency and performance

Marking a significant step forward in the brand’s new energy journey, the CSH combines the benefits of an EV and a hybrid without any of the drawbacks.  The system provides silent, swift acceleration in full-electric mode, while the hybrid-petrol mode delivers long-range efficiency and quick refuelling.

Revolutionary Hybrid system

Designed for smarter, more efficient driving, it seamlessly balances power and sustainability – reducing your carbon footprint without compromising on performance.

Under the skin is a fifth-generation 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, which produces 105kW/215Nm, while the single electric motor has 150kW and 310Nm of torque.

They send power to the front wheels via a single-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT).

This Stepless Electric Hybrid System offers four driving modes—pure electric, series, parallel, and energy recovery.

Allowing drivers to enjoy pure electric operation at low speeds (ideal for city commutes) and efficient fuel performance at high speeds (above 80 km/h), delivering the best of both worlds: powerful performance and minimal energy consumption.

Traveling up to 95km (NEDC) without charging, the Lithium Iron Phosphate battery has a capacity of

18.3kWh and can be charged from 30-80% at up to 40kW on a DC fast charger in only 20 minutes. Above 30% charge, the SHS can run as a pure EV up to speeds of 120km/h.

In hybrid mode, the two units work in unison to deliver a total driving range of 1,200km.

Premium features without the premium price tag

Inside, the TIGGO 8 offers a premium cabin with an impressive array of technology.

The Ultimate come standard with synthetic leather seats, 10 speaker sound system, 10.25″ LCD driver instrument cluster, 15.6″ LCD infotainment touchscreen and the brand’s intelligent voice command system Hello Chery.

There’s also a driver Head Up Display (HUD), heated and ventilated seats and a panoramic sunroof.

Safety and warranty security

The TIGGO 8 CSH has a comprehensive list of active and passive safety features, including front, front side & centre, rear side and side curtain airbags.

Moreover, this SUV is also equipped with a long list of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) which include adaptive cruise control (ACC), autonomous emergency braking (AEB) and lane keeping assistance (LKA).

The TIGGO 8 will continue to be back by Chery’s comprehensive 7-year/unlimited kilometre warranty.

This also includes up to 7 years of roadside assistance.
