The front grill would also feature seamless integrated LED headlights which are longer and slimmer then the standard Tiggo 8 hence giving it a near complete different fascia.

The Chery Tiggo 8 Pro DP-i would be powered by a 1.5T engine mated with the Chery Plug-in Hybrid system pushing 154HP. The Chery Tiggo 8 Pro DP-i electric motor would be powered by a ternary lithium battery pack and has a top speed of 180 km/h.

The Tiggo 8 Pro DP-i would measure 4722mm in length, 1860mm wide, 1747mm in height with a wheelbase of 2710mm. This PHEV would weigh a reported 1818 kg. From the outlook we are able to see that the Tiggo 8 Pro DP-i, would feature a standard panoramic sunroof with the rear sporting a well integrated rear spoiler and dual exhaust outlet bumper design.

On the safety front, it is reported from the document MIIT released that the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro DP-i would be equipped with front and rear cameras and necessary standard driver aids radars. It will also be offered in three wheel specification ranging from 17, 18 or 19 inches.
