Chery has released the first images of the interior
of their new flagship Chery Tiggo 8 SUV. The place looks very clean with a
digital instrument panel and nice materials, but the main touch screen seems
almost Volkswagen-small, especially compared to what BYD is doing.
The instrument panel looks star ship, with a large
central dial flanked by two smaller ones. The steering wheel is remarkable
button-free. Chery hasn’t disclosed how large the screen is, but this really
seems no better than 8 inches.
We also have some new images of the Chery Tiggo 8 on
the road, showing its big black beak. The Tiggo 8 seats seven. Power comes from
a 1.5 turbo with 147 hp and 210 Nm, mated to a six-speed manual or a six-speed
DCT. The engine is rather old and used in many other Chery’s. The 147 horses
seem barely enough to propel a car as big as the Tiggo 8 to a decent speed.
