Chery Tiggo 8 — Owner’s Guide
The Tiggo 8 is Chery’s seven-seat flagship SUV, and its badge history is busier than most: Tiggo 8, 8 Pro, 8 Pro Max and now 8 Super Hybrid, with the engine changing along the way — a 1.6 turbo in the early Pro, a 2.0 turbo in the Pro Max and current Australian cars, and a plug-in Super Hybrid from MY26. Parts, fluids and schedules follow the engine, not the badge — identify yours first.
Which Tiggo 8 do I have?
| Badge / market build | Years | Powertrain | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 瑞虎8 first generation | 2018–2020 | petrol | China-market origins |
| Tiggo 8 Pro | 2021–2023 | 1.6T (SQRF4J16) + 7DCT | Main export wave |
| Tiggo 8 Pro Max / current AU | 2023–present | 2.0T + DCT (2WD & AWD) | Australian MY25/26 range confirmed from official pages |
| Tiggo 8 (UK) | 2024–present | 1.6T (SQRF4J16F, 108 kW/275 Nm) + 7DCT | Verified from the official UK owner manual (archived): 57 L tank, 12V 70 Ah battery, 7 seats at 1,673 kg kerb. Yes — the UK car and the Australian car share a name and not an engine. |
| Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid | 2025–present (AU MY26) | plug-in hybrid | Shares its service schedule with the Tiggo 7 and 9 Super Hybrids |
Sources: Chery Australia official pages (verified 20 August 2026); Chery international records. The generation years in the table above are not printed in any document we hold, and our own model list gives different years for two of them (Tiggo 8 Pro 2020–2024; Pro Max 2022–present); we have not verified either set. The 1.6T and 2.0T are different engines with different service parts — quoting “Tiggo 8” at a parts counter is not enough.
Warranty — Australia
7 years / unlimited km for a new vehicle. If a vehicle sold through an authorised Chery Dealer is used primarily as a taxi, for ride sharing, for hire or rental, as a driving-school vehicle or for delivery/courier work, the limit is 7 years / 150,000 km, whichever occurs first. Roadside assistance and capped-price servicing are separate programs.
