Cherry Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 PHEV Quick Specs

Both Tiggo 7 PHEV and Tiggo 8 PHEV are equipped with the same Chery Super Hybrid (CSH) system, which features a 141hp (105kW) 1.5L turbocharged engine with 215Nm of torque, that is paired with a 201hp (150kW) electric motor that also produces 310Nm of torque. The CSH system on both models is powered by a 18.3kWh LFP battery and a 60L fuel tank.

Completing their PHEV setup is a 6.6kW AC charging module, which allows their high-voltage battery to be charged from 30% to 80% in 3 hours. Both Tiggo PHEV models also support DC charging speed of up to 40kW, which cuts down the 30% to 80% charging time to 19 minutes, and owners can also utilise them to power up external appliances via their 3.3kW Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) feature.

Despite the differences in the physical dimensions and weight, Chery claimed that both Tiggo PHEV models have a pure electric range of up to 90km and 1,200km of combined range. Both figures are based on the more lenient NEDC standard, so their estimated WLTP ranges should be around 77km and 1,020km, respectively. 

Meanwhile, it might be hard to tell them apart as their exterior lines look almost similar to each other, but physically, the Tiggo 8 PHEV is longer than the Tiggo 7 PHEV. This does not come as a surprise, since the Tiggo 7 PHEV is a 3-row 7-seater SUV, while the Tiggo 7 PHEV is a 2-row 5-seater SUV.

If you take a closer look, you would also notice the differences in terms of design in many sections of both cars includes front and rear bumpers, grille, headlights, taillights, door handles, and wheels. Here is how their physical stats fare when compared to each other:

Tiggo 7 PHEV

• Dimensions: 4,553mm (L) x 1,862mm (W) x 1,696mm (H)
• Wheelbase: 2,670mm
• Curb Weight: 1,795kg
• Boot Space: Up to 1,386L

Tiggo 8 PHEV

• Dimensions: 4,725mm (L) x 1,860mm (W) x 1,705mm (H)
• Wheelbase: 2,710mm
• Curb Weight: 1,916kg
• Boot Space: Up to 1930L

At the same time, the Tiggo 7 PHEV is also equipped with 18-inch wheels, while the Tiggo 8 PHEV comes with 19-inch wheels. Interestingly enough, the Tiggo 7 PHEV comes with a panoramic sunroof, but it is not available on the Tiggo 8 PHEV despite being a more premium model.

Inside, the Tiggo 7 PHEV carries a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and another 12.3-inch screen for the infotainment system, which are housed within the same housing. However, the Tiggo 8 PHEV has a separate 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and 15.6-inch infotainment screen.

Both models have been fitted with a Sony audio system, but the Tiggo 8 PHEV has 10 speakers while the Tiggo 7 PHEV is limited to 8 speakers. That being said, the infotainment system for both models is running on the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 processor.

When it comes to safety, 8 airbags are standard on both models. They have also been fitted with similar L2 Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS) suite that include critical features such as Integrated Cruise Control (ICC), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Lane Depature Prevention (LDP),  Front & Rear Collision Warning (FCW/RCW), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), and Door Opening Warning (DOW).

The Tiggo 7 PHEV can be obtained in Bloodstone Red with Black roof, as well as Khaki White and Phantom Grey. On the opposite side, the Tiggo 8 PHEV is available in Aurora Green, Carbon Black, and Khaki White.
