Chery completes CSH roll-out with Tiggo 8 plug-in hybrid
Chery has officially completed the roll-out of its Chery Super Hybrid (CSH) models in South Africa with the arrival of the Tiggo 8 CSH. Not the flagship The Citizen reports that joining the Tiggo 7 Pro Max and Tiggo 7 Pro, the Tiggo 8 CSH adopts the same plug-in hybrid configuration as the latter, but is restricted to a single, unbadged derivative which, surprisingly, isn't the local line-up's new flagship. Positioned between the two-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions of the Tiggo 8 Pro Max, the Tiggo 8 CSH doesn't adopt the 'Pro' suffix and as such, will be marketed as the Tiggo 8 CSH as opposed to the Hybrid-e description used at its official preview launch in China two years ago. Changes inside and out Similar to the newly facelifted Tiggo 7, which takes leave of the 'Pro' and 'Pro Max' names, the Tiggo 8 CSH differs aesthetically from the combustion models by featuring a new grille with black surrounds, a restyled front bumper, standard Auto High Beam Assist LED headlights and new 19-inch alloy wheels. Inside, the differences continue in the shape of the same centre console as sister brand Jaecoo's J7, complete with a pair of wireless smartphone chargers, a rotary drive mode selector and two cupholders. With the gear lever moving to the steering column, Chery has also redesigned the Tiggo 8 CSH's dashboard by eschewing the dual 12.3-inch displays for a freestanding instrument cluster of the same size, plus a new 15.6-inch infotainment with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The latter's inclusion has seen the central air vents move to the centre console, while the previous toggle switches and physical buttons on the steering wheel make way for touch-sensitive switchgear. Space and tech As with the rest of the Tiggo 8 range, the CSH keeps the seven-seat layout, with boot space ranging from 117-litres to 494-litres. Dropping the middle row results in space maxing out at 1 930-litres. On the specification front, the Tiggo 8 CSH, bar the items mentioned, comes equipped with the following as standard: three type-C USB ports a 12-speaker Sony sound system dual-zone climate control ambient lighting ventilated, heated, electric and massaging front seats imitation leather upholstery a panoramic sunroof an electric tailgate Head-Up Display The extensive array of safety and driver assistance systems includes: a 540-degree camera system 10 airbags front and rear parking sensors Driver Monitoring System Adaptive Cruise Control Hill Start Assist Rear Cross Traffic Alert Traffic Jam Assist Lane Departure Warning Front Collision Warning Blind Spot Monitoring Door Opening Warning Automatic Emergency Braking Plug-in hybrid punch On the power front, the Tiggo 8 CSH carries over the same powerplant as the Jaecoo J7 SHS, namely the brand's 1.5 T-GDI engine combined with an 18.3kWh battery pack powering a single electric motor. The result is a total system output of 255kW/525Nm, an electric-only range of 90km, and a combined overall distance of 1 200km. The claimed fuel consumption is 5.2L/100km. Sending the amount of twist to the front axle is a Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT). In addition, three driving modes are offered: Eco, Normal and Sport. Warranty Now available, the Tiggo 8 CSH's sticker price includes: a seven-year/200 000km warranty a seven-year/90 000km service plan a 10-year/1 000 000km engine warranty transferred to the second owner only via the first owner having made the original purchase through the Cherished pre-owned dealer network a 10-year/unlimited km battery warranty Price Tiggo 8 Pro 1.6 T-GDI Executive+ DCT – R529 900 Tiggo 8 Pro Max 2.0 T-GDI Executive DCT – R669 900 Tiggo 8 CSH – R729 900 Tiggo 8 Pro Max 2.0 T-GDI Executive AWD DCT – R731 900

Chery Tiggo 8 CSH arrives as South Africa's least expensive plug-in hybrid with seven seats
The Chery Tiggo 8 CSH can cover a claimed 90km on battery power alone. Image: Supplied Hot on the heels of the Tiggo 7 CSH, Chery has introduced a second plug-in hybrid (PHEV) in the form of the larger Tiggo 8 CSH. Priced at R729,900, the Tiggo 8 PHEV is the least expensive seven-seat plug-in hybrid for sale in South Africa, offering a unique alternative to those seeking such a package with added practicality. It slots neatly above the trio of five-seat PHEVs introduced to the market in recent times, these being Chery's Tiggo 7 CSH (from R599,900), the BYD Sealion 6 (R639,900) and Jaecoo J7 1.5T SHS (R689,900). The Tiggo 8's drivetrain pairs a 1.5-litre petrol engine with a powerful electric motor for system outputs of 255kW and 525Nm, making it slightly less powerful than its Tiggo 7 CSH sibling, which offers 265kW and 530Nm. Power goes to the front wheels via Chery's Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT) and drivers can choose between Eco, Normal and Sport modes. The newcomer is fitted with an 18.3 kWh battery that allows for a claimed all-electric range of up to 90km between recharges, while also extending the overall range to 1,200km between refuels. Chery claims a combined fuel consumption figure of 1.3 litres per 100km, when the battery is regularly charged. When the vehicle goes into battery save mode, below 30%, customers can expect a consumption figure of 5.2 l/100km, the company claims. What features does the Tiggo 8 CSH have? The new Tiggo 8 PHEV is offered in a single trim grade, which Chery calls 'Apex', and it's got absolutely everything. Standard features include a 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 12-speaker Sony sound system, Intelligent Voice Command, electric adjustment for the front seats, with a massage function for the front passenger, 54-degree surround camera, head-up display, ambient lighting, panoramic sunroof and an electric tailgate. The Tiggo 8 CSH is only available with top-tier specification. Image: Supplied The long list of driver assistance features includes Adaptive Cruise Control with Traffic Jam Assistance, Front Collision Warning, Automatic Brake System, Emergency Lane Keeping and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, among others. 'The Tiggo 8 CSH Hybrid is designed to give South African families a smarter, more efficient way to get around without compromising on space or safety,' said Verene Petersen, marketing manager at Chery SA. In terms of after-sales, the Tiggo 8 CSH is sold with a seven-year or 90,000km service plan and seven-year or 200,000km warranty. There's also a 10-year or 1 million kilometre engine warranty, which applies to the first owner but can be transferred to a second owner if the vehicle is purchased from one of Chery's 'Cherished' pre-owned dealerships..
