Chery’s seven-seater secret

20

Chery just broke a record.
The Tiggo 8 is the UK’s best-selling seven-seat SUV now. A big deal for a brand some still glance at twice.
Last month the numbers settled in. Sales won out.

Here’s why you should care.

The deal itself

Through Lease Car UK you can drive one of these for just over £244 a month.
Exactly £244.79 if you count every penny.
You hand over a hefty initial payment first. £3,285 for the first twelve months of rent essentially. The total contract runs for two years.
Five thousand miles per year.

Short contract. High risk if you overdrive.
You can tweak the terms though. Drop that initial payment down to nine months and you save roughly £400 upfront. The monthly price jumps a little bit to compensate.
Need more mileage?
Eight thousand a year costs about £12 extra monthly on the longer option or £13 if you go with the nine-month initial.
It adds up quickly.

High equipment levels usually come at a high cost. Not here.

This isn’t some stripped-down base model either.
The trim is Aspire.
It looks modest enough but open the doors and the spec list hits you like a wall of chrome. Nineteen-inch alloys. Wireless Apple CarPlay. Android Auto without the wire.
There’s a 360-degree camera for parking because SUVs are wide beasts. A wireless charging pad sits somewhere near the center console. An electric tailgate waits for your command.

The powertrain

Chery calls it the Super Hybrid System.
That sounds flashy but the engineering is straightforward. It’s a PHEV.
A 1.5-litre petrol motor works with an electric motor. An 18.3kWh battery sits between them.
The range claims are ambitious. Fifty-six miles of pure electric driving. A combined 745 miles on petrol and electric power.

The interior fits and finish feels right.
Styling is inoffensive. Slightly upmarket perhaps but safe.
Seven seats actually work. The second row lets you stretch out without elbowing strangers in the third row.

Who needs seven seats anyway? Maybe no one you know yet.
But the Tiggo 8 has one ready.

These numbers come from the Auto Express Buy A Car network.
They pull the best current UK leases and dealer offers into one view.
Terms apply obviously. Prices change. Stock vanishes.
