Spied: 7-seater Chery Tiggo 8 Pro spotted, China finally gets Pro models

• Chery to add 7-seater Tiggo 8 Pro in China
• Rival to the Geely Haoyue (soon-to-be Proton X90?)
• AWD to be offered as well

Chery will soon add yet another variant to its already-extensive Tiggo 8 line-up in the form of the new Chery Tiggo 8 Pro. 

Spyshots of the new Tiggo 8 Pro surfaced on Chinese social media platforms, giving everyone a good look at the new flagship Chery SUV.

Up front, the new Tiggo 8 Pro gets a new angular front grille with red trims all round. There’s also a new pair of LED headlights with chrome trim that extends inwards.

The side profile and rear have also been redesigned. The LED tail lights are now a one-piece design, while the design of the tailgate is also new. Chery has also thrown out the dual muffler design on the 8 Plus, replacing it with quad units on the new 8 Pro.

What’s more, Chery has also given its Tiggo 8 Pro a completely new dashboard. The usual binnacle that houses the instrument cluster gets thrown out in favour of an ultrawide display, which houses both the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system.
