Practicality is supported by a power-operated tailgate and luggage capacity ranging from 117litres with all seats in use to 739litres with the third row folded.
Exterior:
The Tiggo 8 Pro LS adopts a sportier front-end design and new full-width LED tail lamps. Automatic LED headlights, daytime running lights and fog lights form part of the upgraded lighting package, while heated exterior mirrors add convenience in adverse weather. Buyers can choose from three exterior colours: New Khaki White, New Carbon Black and Tech Gray.
Engine:
Power comes from a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 137kW and 275Nm of torque. Drive is channelled to the front wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Fuel consumption is rated at 7.2L/100km on the WLTP cycle, supported by a 51-litre fuel tank for both daily commuting and longer journeys.
