Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Pakistan 2026 — Price & Complete Review

Available from Rs. 7,199,000 and assembled locally by Nishat Group (the same conglomerate behind Hyundai in Pakistan), it offers a 1.6L turbocharged 7-seater with ADAS features, a large infotainment system, and the backing of Pakistan’s most established automotive local partner.
This review examines all aspects of the Tiggo 8 Pro — from specifications to real-world performance — and compares it directly with its main competitors: the DFSK Glory 580 and Jetour X70 Plus.

Features Review — What Stands Out
Exterior
The Tiggo 8 Pro’s exterior is aggressive and distinctive. The multi-blade LED DRLs and follow-me-home headlight function are premium touches. 18-inch alloy wheels are standard — a class-appropriate size for a 7-seater. The panoramic sunroof with anti-trap sensors adds to the premium feel and is well-suited to Pakistani consumers who prioritize this feature.
Interior
The dual-screen cockpit (10.25″ central + 12.3″ instrument) creates a tech-forward impression. Physical gear shifter (electronic) and dedicated AC controls make daily use intuitive. The Chery-branded 8″ AC screen for rear passengers is unusual but useful. Wireless charging pad, leather seating, and quality interior plastics all punch above the price point.
ADAS Suite
The Tiggo 8 Pro’s ADAS system includes adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking (AEB), lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic alert. Voice recognition commands through the infotainment — in English and Urdu for the Pakistani market — are available.
Smart Entry
Keyless entry and push-button start are standard. The smart entry allows unlocking without removing the key from your pocket — a practical feature for family use.
7-Seater Review
The Tiggo 8 Pro’s 2,820mm wheelbase (one of the longest in its class) gives the 2+3+2 layout genuine usability. The 3rd row is accessed via sliding 2nd row seats. Adults can use the 3rd row for 1–2 hour journeys comfortably. Children have ample space. 3rd row headroom is reasonable at 185mm ground clearance + tall body.
Boot space with 3rd row up is limited (practical luggage for the 5th–7th seat passengers is basically zero). With 3rd row folded: generous cargo area for a family SUV.

Analysis:
- Vs DFSK Glory 580: The Tiggo 8 Pro costs Rs. 3.15M+ more but delivers a significantly better engine (197hp vs 145hp), better fuel efficiency, superior technology, and a much more refined interior. The Glory 580’s only advantage is price — for families that need 7 seats but have a Rs. 4–5M budget, it remains the only option.
- Vs Jetour X70 Plus: Very close competition. The Jetour costs Rs. 1.1M more (Rs. 8.3M vs 7.2M) but is a CBU import (no local assembly). The Tiggo 8 Pro has slightly more power (197hp vs 185hp), local assembly advantage for parts/warranty, and dual-screen interior. The Jetour offers a cashback promotion (Rs. 200,000) that narrows the gap. Either is an excellent choice — the Tiggo 8 Pro’s local assembly is the deciding advantage for most buyers.
Known Issues and Considerations
- DCT low-speed hesitation: Same issue as other Chinese DCT cars. Nishat Group has pushed TCU updates.
- Early model electrical glitches: 2022–2023 Tiggo 8 Pro units had some electrical niggles. Nishat’s quality control has improved since then.
- Parts availability: As a locally assembled Nishat Group product, parts availability mirrors Hyundai Pakistan’s network — above average for a Chinese brand.
- 1.6T oil consumption: Some global reports of minor oil consumption in 1.6T engine. Check oil level monthly for first 20,000km.
