As someone who has owned this car for approx. 2 weeks. With current price ($1.98/Lt its about $95-$110 to fuel up per week. - tthats normal driving highway/urban... Its a pretty decent car so far Some extra stuff he didnt mention. Remote start from keyfob. And can open boot merely by having key in your pocket by standing behind the car. (No hands.) Auto dimming headlights, also the cameras turn on when you drive between 10-15km.... distracting but you get use to it. And helps avoid things.
For a cheapish Chinese brand, the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro genuinely looks upscale. The interior design and tech are quite impressive, and the safety and convenience features are on par with Mercedes vehicles costing four times as much. Great job, Chery!
Back in 2010 my dad had a Chery J5 (one of the ugliest sedans ever made) but it survived a head on collision with a Kudu, protected my dad, my brother in the back seat (wasnt wearing his seatbelt) and myself, all of us walked away with no injuries (including the kudu). If these new Chery SUV's have the same build quality as those old ugly sedans they cant be that bad
My mother had a single vehicle accident in the J11 (also incredibly ugly car) where she had a negative reaction to medication and veered off the road and hit a tree. She sustained no injuries despite the car being a complete write off. The ambos told my step dad they couldn't believe she survived, let alone not sustain a single injury so I must admit I feel the same way as you about the build quality of these cars.
The Tiggo 4 Pro (Which I believe Australia is receiving at some point in the future) has just become the 4th best selling passenger vehicle in South Africa. They're doing exceptionally well here especially considering they launched in mid 2021.
I recently bought the 2024 Tiggo 4 pro Elite Auto. Must say the car is solid and drivers super well. Only 2 flaws I can pick up is: 1. High fuel consumption - average 9L/100km 2. The plastics that you don't necessarily see tend to squeek a little. Prime example of this is in the trunk as well as in the dash console. However this only happens on bumpy roads & higher speed. Overall, a really good value for money car if you don't mind forking out a little more for fuel.
Ofc we want you to do that test again. I dont even wqnna go off road but u do love sewing how capable modern cars are off sealed roads. Its interesting
People seriously underestimate these Chinese cars . Yes resale might not be the best but when you can buy a top of range tiggo 8 for 48 grand drive away with every feature you can think of included with that luxurious feel against the competitors like rav 4 , Hyundai Tucson which are top of range over 60 grand drive away …..🤷♂️ these Chinese cars are now very well made and put together , so much that the ford boss calls them a real threat because of this very reason … they’re really good cars
As for the question, yes we would all love to see the SUV off road mega test again. Remember how many family's like doing the occasional camping trip down a dirt track etc. Or just due to the fact that our roads are mostly absolutely terrible 😂
In your test of the lane keeping, you should have been on a part without that groove in the road. It did not lock on because it seemed like you were driving over 1 line because the camera may have seen that as a line. Then on fuel consumption, my friends have the 1.6 turbo of this one which we get in South Africa. In the beginning, they were averaging around 10.4 l/100kms around town. After about 8000kms the fuel consumption decreased drastically, and they are now averaging 8.4 l/100kms which is excellent.
Awesome review. So jammed packed with features. Perhaps consider producing a reliability index. Or some reliability metric. Totally agree with you about dash cam. If they can do driver monitoring they should be able to do dash cam. How come you don't get into 3rd row via the passenger/curb side? That side also has the 2/3 split.
This video was worth watching just seeing you try to sit in the third row.Amazing how the economy has changed. That's the same price I paid for a Dodge journey brand new. Which surprisingly is still running today.
These Cherry cars are popular in Russia and many Taxi services use them there since western brands have been banned because of sanctions. I've seen alot of Russian taxis with over 100,000kms on the clock and the drivers reported no issues. The fact that it has a inbuilt dashcam is amazing. I don't understand why this isn't standard in all new cars already.
@@mrkring1526 100k is alot in a year of constant use. Taxi benchmark is usually what you test the cars reliability on as taxis drive non stop. Not sure why you're so angry at me stating facts lol. Who hurt you? :p
Chery have come a long way very competitive in there field And they have a huge dealer network and a big spare parts infantry so sounds like there here for the long term
Fun fact: Chery designs and produces the engines and gearboxes themselves, some of the engines are being sold to other car companies and air plane companies in Europe. Also I think they have contributed so much work to the new Range Rover Evoque and some other models...
We got the tiggo 7 pro max ultra. Looked at the Kia Sportage GT and saved the $20,000. LOVE the tiggo. Anyone else notice no ring holder on the key? Yes Chery.. fix this.
10K cheaper than the new CRV with a lot more tech. Rey disappointing fuel economy though, plus having to use 95 fuel , that would kill it for us. Crazy to put a big 2L engine in a car that light. 1.5L turbo would be much more efficient. Love the look of the interior and all the tech
Test drove one today... Punchy engine, soft ride, excellent tech and interior. Difficult to overlook at the price. And it has a full sized spare. Important in South Africa. I prefer it to the 7 as I cannot see the full instrument cluster in the 7, no matter how high I set the steering wheel and seat at lowest. Ride also more plush than the 7. Excellent value cars and the missus very happy with her Tiggo 4. The Chinese can perhaps improve on fuel consumption, the only gripe.
DROVE THIS CAR BACK TO BACK WITH THE HAVAL H6 HYBRID - THE H6 HYBRID HAD EVERY EXTRA THAT THIS HAS PLUS HUD (SPEED ON SCREEN) FOR A MUCH CHEAPER PRICE. PICKED THE H6 AFTER MY BROTHER TOLD ME ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS CHERYS OMODA 5 HAS - ONLY GET THIS IF YOU ARE DESPERATE FOR 7 SEATS
Hi Paul, thank you as always for your review. Just on a section of safety futures that annoying and you need to always switch them off. Could you please always mantion wheather you have to switch them off every time you start the car OR they keeped switched off if you did switched them off once! Very important as some manufacturesrs let you to switch them permanently.
A question about the third row seating,a vehicle full of passengers ,would it be like sardines in a can during an accident ? Definitely not for adults,even a minor collision could mess up someone's body with ease . Not sure if the Cherry name helps with market acceptance.
Yes please make another suv off road test, maybe this time do one with the more premium SUV’s GLC, XC60, X3, CX-60… while we wait for the cheaper segment in the previous video to date a little more.
I agree, do another suv comparison review, both medium and large suvs. If it's possible include a Mazda CX-60 PHEV if you get that in Australia or CX-70/ CX-80/ CX-90. I would like to see how good it is while offroading and also if it is possible to do any light offroad while in EV mode only. If you could get also more Phev from other brands that would be also nice for compare. Thanks
Not a fan of DCTs, especially for SUVs that spend their time crawling in traffic. This would have been much better if it had a 6 or 8 speed torque converter auto for me.
Please do a medium suv offroad test again first one was amazing please include hybrids and petrol and phevs AWD eg tucson and sealion and xtrail epower thank you best reviews info and podcast on you tube thank you guys and girls at car expert
Thanks Paul for the review and i was hoping that you would do this car. Your a bit late to the game on this one but maybe that was well planned. I think you were a little surprised at how good they were...

Seems like a very good car. The shortcomings for me are, 1 No Spare 2 DSG 3 Economy 4 All that crap on tailgate hopefully easy to remove. I'd all but chery, tiggo and awd.
now do the same for geely mojaro and the geely coolray. geely being a direct chinese competitor for chery, and a lot of people (myself included) think that geely is better than chery, so we want to see a direct comparison, get the car on those bumpy roads and tell us your impression how it feel, how the cabine sounds over those bumps, how it feels through the video.

Great job, Chery!
I think it looks very upscale in the other colours but white not so much
its so ugly
@@audionut9974 Kia sportage ……..now thats ugly
Pointless, they have no resale and and nobody wants a used PRC vehicle
In South Africa, Chery offers the Tiggo 8 pro with 2.0 tgdi engine and the 1.6 tgdi from the 7 pro max

these cars does not have the same quality; it is far better than those old ones, so they really cannot be that bad.

Except for the fuel consumption, drinks fuel like a super Cars, but differently worth the price
chery has been improved a lot, since they started testing all the new vechicles in australia first before selling it, things like lane centering etc
Yes, please do another off road comparison, seeing how these things perform is awesone!

I think there is a slight correction with the boot space with 2nd and 3rd row seats down. total 2100 l of space instead of 700 plus you quoted.
You should test all awd and 4x4 suvs off road it would make the videos more interesting
Awesome video as always. You and Tom Baker from chasing cars are my 2 favourite car reviewers! I'd vote for a collab :D

Wonderful car with good performance and facilities at good priçe
We got the tiggo 7 pro max ultra. Looked at the Kia Sportage GT and saved the $20,000.
LOVE the tiggo.
Anyone else notice no ring holder on the key? Yes Chery.. fix this.
Not enough badges on the back. Once the entire back is nothing but badges then it'll be worth it. I call it the Bang For Badges™ metric.
Looks really nice inside, great quality. Outside looks like an old Audi 👌. Would consider buying but scared to own a Cherry long term
Interior/ Exterior design are nice!
Wish you would include a 100km sine wave test. IM in qld and not gunna be doing 130km. Maybe the cars fine at 100 though.
10K cheaper than the new CRV with a lot more tech. Rey disappointing fuel economy though, plus having to use 95 fuel , that would kill it for us. Crazy to put a big 2L engine in a car that light. 1.5L turbo would be much more efficient. Love the look of the interior and all the tech
man buy the chery hybrid one.and the true fuel economy of 8pro is 9L/km in china

I used to like the H6 until this came along, it's better in almost every way
Do those 4 exhaust pipes come on song on heavy accelaration..?
Did you feel the purpose of those 4 exhaust outlets especially during heavy footed driving...?
Do another mid size suv test and a 7 seat suv test. Test the cx8, cx9, Sorrento, Santa Fe, Tiggo 8 etc.
