The first cars of the new brand Tenet, created on the basis of Chery Tiggo 8 Plus, have been spotted at one of the Moscow dealers. The cars with taped-over nameplates, but with Tenet logos on the radiator grille and steering wheel, are expected to be offered under the T8 index.
The crossovers differ from the Chery models previously presented in Russia and are expected to be assembled at the former Volkswagen plant in Kaluga. The dimensions of the model are 4715×1860×1745 mm, the wheelbase is 2710 mm. The car will be available in five- and seven-seater versions, with 18 or 19 inch wheels.
In China, the Chery Tiggo 8 Plus is offered with 1.6 and 2.0 liter turbocharged engines, combined with a seven-speed robotic transmission (7DCT) or an eight-speed automatic (8AT). Russian specifications and prices have not yet been announced.
The Tenet brand, according to open data, also plans to launch models similar to Tiggo 4, Tiggo 7L and Tiggo 9 on the Russian market. The official premiere of the T8 is expected in the near future.
