Chinese concern Chery has revealed the equipment of Tiggo 8 Pro e+ for the Russian market. Before the start of sales, planned for November, the manufacturer talked about the main characteristics of the restyled model. It is noted that the car will be called Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid.
Engineers have improved its design and paid great attention to the interior. The smooth movement of the crossover is provided by a 235-horsepower hybrid power plant based on a 147-hp 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, as well as two electric motors. The Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid will squeeze out "a hundred" in just 7.5 seconds.
Russian motorists can purchase the car in the Ultimate configuration. This, among other things, includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, a media system screen of the same size, a panoramic roof with a hatch, surround-view cameras, cruise control, a video recorder.
The main advantage, according to Chery, is the PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid) system. It is claimed that this technology combines the advantages of electric cars with those available in cars with internal combustion engines (ICE).
The Tiggo 8 Pro provides 3 drive modes: electric only, gasoline only, hybrid mode. This allows for comfortable driving both in the city and on long trips, concluded the company's press service.
It was reported earlier that Chery cars are available for purchase on Ozon marketplace.
