Discover the Chery TIGGO 8 – Carwow Car of the Year 2026
Discover the Chery TIGGO 8, awarded Car of the Year by Carwow for 2026. The Carwow Car of the Year Awards is an amazing opportunity for manufacturer brands to be recognised for their standout models.
Being awarded the Car of the Year at the Carwow awards is no mean feat, and with its smart technology and great value, it’s no surprise that the TIGGO 8 came out on top. One of the latest models from Chery, the TIGGO 8 was a new entry to the UK car market in late 2025. The TIGGO 8 was the first model introduced in the UK and proves itself to be a smart, stylish and roomy family SUV. Carwow were impressed by the price tag on the TIGGO 8, starting from just £28,545 for the petrol model, now available at Greenhous Chery. However, the competitive starting price of this model does not mean that Chery have compromised on style or premium features. From the panoramic sunroof creating a sense of openness in the cabin, to the dual 15.6-inch LCD displays and ambient lighting, the TIGGO 8 offers luxurious convenience in every sense. *
Carwow praised the level of interior features offered as standard, with the standard Aspire trim offering 4-way adjustment to the steering wheel, front and rear parking sensors, and electrically adjustable, folding and heated side mirrors. The upgraded Summit trim introduces features such as hands-free tailgate opening, heated steering wheel, and massage to the front seats, offering practical luxury.
The smart and seamless technology in the TIGGO 8 does not stop here, under the bonnet Chery have ensured drivers benefit from a powerful and premium driving experience on every journey. That is why the TIGGO 8 is offered with two powertrains, meaning you can choose from a powerful 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine or an extended range plug-in hybrid with a total driving range of up to 750 miles. **
The long warranty offered as standard was also referenced by Carwow as a reassuring and appealing feature for purchasers. The Chery warranty package offers a 7-year or 100,000 mile manufacturer warranty on any issues or defects that may arise from production. For the plug-in hybrid model, this is supplemented by an 8-year or 100,000 mile battery warranty for the 18.4kWh battery. As an addition, when you purchase a new Chery TIGGO 8 you can receive a complimentary year of roadside assistance from Chery. This roadside assistance can be renewed for 12 months at every scheduled service you have at an authorised Chery dealership, totalling up to seven years of coverage.
Chery have nailed it straight away with the TIGGO 8, a modern SUV that is the full package, truly deserving the Carwow Car of the Year 2026 title.
