We take a closer look at what to expect, as this could become the standard in automotive engineering. In this review, we will review the data and metrics behind the locally assembled Chery Tiggo 8 PHEV plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, presented here for your previewing pleasure.
The Future of Pakistan’s Car Industry, the Chery Tiggo 8 PHEV
With sales of SUVs and HEVs trending upward overseas, an increasing number of automakers are introducing new models to meet market demand. “In the convergence point between progress, power, and conservation is where the Chery Tiggo 8 PHEV lies. It’s got a turbocharged engine and a two-motor hybrid system, as well as infotainment features hardly found in the standard Pakistani market.
Here is a closer look at this trend-setting car’s key specifications and features.
1. Sizing and Fit: Perfect for Comfort, Look, and Feel
Chery Tiggo 8 PHEV Appearance: Conspicuous Exterior Create a Strong Presence. It is 4,725mm long, 1,860mm wide, and 1,705mm tall, providing ample space for passengers to travel comfortably. The spacious wheelbase of 2,710mm ensures you have a comfortable ride anywhere you take it; on your city roads and wide highways, between the vast beauties of Pakistan- landscapes, off-road, or rough terrains! Route her across the countryside and along the banks, too.
Part of what gives the car its road presence is its size, which you can love or hate, but it does look both swanky and overbearing on the roads.
2. Camping Chair – Perfect for the Family
Not something you can say of many compact SUVs around, especially the ones we have here in Pakistan; however, the Chery Tiggo 8 PHEV has seating for 7. That makes it a good choice for larger families, road trips, and people who need extra space to sit. On short-pull or long journeys across those cities and counties in the beautiful country, passengers are provided with thigh support and plenty headway in both rows.
Its spacious interior is what makes it one of the best options for families looking for a new car in Pakistan, with its super practical and comfortable features making you feel like they should cost more.
- Engine and Performance: Power Meets Efficiency
Powering the Chery Tiggo 8 PHEV is a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine that works in duo with an 18.3 kWh battery and a dual-motor system. This installation has been tuned to deliver good power and performance – 496 hp, combined with a peak torque of 735 Nm. This is a huge milestone in the history of hybrid cars in Pakistan, where petrol cars have long ruled the market.
The Tiggo 8 PHEV is amazing to drive. Capable of accelerating from zero to 100 km/h in a remarkable 6.8 seconds, it holds its own against some high-performance sedans and SUVs on the highway, impressing among all new cars in Pakistan.
But that’s not all: the car is also a hybrid that uses the engine to optimize both power and fuel economy, making a lot of sense for those who seek performance and an environmentally friendly ride.
4. Electricity-Based and Fuel Efficiency for Pakistan: A green way!
But one of the Chery Tiggo 8 PHEV’s greatest highlights is also its EV mode. With up to 77 km of range, this EV isn’t great for long journeys, but it’s ideal for city driving, making it a favorite for short commutes. Once the electric side of things runs out, it’ll switch seamlessly to petrol mode, which apparently gives it a combined range of 1,020km, at which point you can drive all the way across Pakistan.
With the rising cost of fuel in Pakistan, a hybrid SUV like the Chery Tiggo 8 is very fuel-efficient and easy on your pocket. Finally, the car is a hybrid, and with a 60-liter fuel tank, you can plan on a long time/distance between fillings, if you live in city traffic or are doing coast-to-coast, for example.
5. Infotainment and Interior Features:
Chery hasn’t skimped on the new in-car entertainment and comfort technologies for the Tiggo 8 PHEV. The star of the show is a 15.6-inch 2.5K touchscreen in the car, part of the infotainment system. The mobile center screen, which keeps you connected even while behind the wheel, envelops you with Sony 12-speaker sound.
Just step inside the Tiggo 8 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle PHEV. This cabin has been designed with luxury and comfort in mind, from the noise-insulated interior to the dramatic sunroof to the ambient lighting, heads-up display, and next-level technology. Whether you want to crank up the tunes with your favorite playlist or search through the car’s groundbreaking technological features for new songs while out and about, there is no denying that every drive is a spa resort day when you don’t even have to do the driving – thanks, Tiggo 8 PHEV!
The front seats, though, are something else: power-adjustable (as you would hope from a luxury car) and heated and cooled, so everyone is comfortable. The car comes with dual-zone climate control as standard, so no one in the second row, or indeed anyone sitting behind them, will be too hot or too cold.
6. Safety: A Leader in Safety
Chery is really responsible, and we are so strongly committed to the safety of our vehicles. The Chery Tiggo 8 PHEV offers a complete suite of intelligent safety features. Ten airbags are also included to keep you and your passengers safe in a crash.

Equipped with adaptive LED matrix headlamps, the Tiggo 8 PHEV delivers a neat, comfortable night-time lighting experience. The dynamic rear indicators and full-width rear LED light bar are designed not only for visibility but also to give the car a more modern, progressive appearance.
7. Convenience in Charging: Ready for the Future
In charging, the Tiggo 8 PHEV offers a very convenient charging option. Its battery can be refilled to 80 per cent of its full capacity via 40 kW DC Hyper charging in just 20 minutes – great for those who are always on the move! When using a standard supply (AC) to charge at home, the 6.6 kW battery can be fully charged in about 3 hours. And its Vehicle-to-Load (V2L)- supported, meaning you can draw power from the car’s battery to power external devices. Perhaps you’re camping, having a picnic, or need emergency power. However, its convenience is such that, in any case, the Tiggo 8 PHEV is on the list of the best new cars coming to Pakistan without a doubt.
