On the Road Again: This New Vehicle Will Make You Want to Go on a Road Trip ASAP

By

With the new Chery Tiggo 8, who wouldn’t want to go on a long drive to who-knows-where?

Given the current traveling limitations and restrictions due to the global pandemic, it is still quite difficult to fly out of the city or the country to celebrate the holidays–or any other occasion, for that matter. However, as we slowly enter the new normal, going on safe road trips may just be the solution to finally get your travel itch scratched. Whether you live inside or outside the city, you can still travel to a lot of places by land, which is what notable personalities like Phoemela Baranda, Aubrey Miles, and Sam YG are doing from time to time.

Just like any other person, they’re also passionate about the endeavors they’re succeeding in, whether it’s about food, fashion, sports, or travel. This is why even when they’re on the road, they want their ride to have it all–hence, their love for the new Chery Tiggo 8. Phoem, Aubrey, and Sam have all gravitated towards the new vehicle from Chery, which is a midsize 7-seater SUV designed by the makers of known European vehicle brands such as Jaguar and Land Rover. It packs a lot of space, convenience, and safety features in an affordable and easy-to-drive package. 

A vehicle that packs a punch

The three celebrities who have all made their marks on the racing circuit have given multiple thumbs up all for the Tiggo 8’s turbocharged 1.5-liter DOHC VVTi engine, which generates a strong 250Nm of torque. It also has Sport and Eco modes to perfectly tailor engine response to one’s specific driving needs. The Tiggo 8 also has superb on-road performance that effortlessly exceeds expectations thanks to its stable handling and high ground clearance for the occasional forays on rough roads.

This Chery vehicle’s parking brakes are even electronically controlled, functioning like a conventional brake handle more conveniently in just a press of a button. Not only that, but its autohold feature also prevents itself from moving without your foot off the brake pedal. This is definitely a driving aide as it helps in getting you out of inclines and declines while parked.

What makes this a bit more advanced than any other vehicle is its exclusive features. According to Phoem, “The Chery Tiggo 8 is a premium 7-seater SUV that comes with a Smartwatch Key that’s definitely useful for people who always forget their keys. Apart from that, it’s like an assistant around your wrist. With just a couple of taps, it controls the locks, windows, trunk, and even the air conditioning system.” The Smartwatch Key resembles a sleek fitness band with a rubber strap and digital display, which offers a total of seven main functions that remotely control various functions of the car. Another notable feature the Tiggo 8 has that increased Phoem’s liking for it is the 10-inch Ultra High-Definition (UHD) LED Bluetooth infotainment system monitor as it helps her make use of the 360° panoramic view camera, which eases driving and parking around the jam packed city.

Aside from the Smartwatch Key that even Aubrey is a huge fan of, she also raved about the Tiggo 8’s spacious interior. As a self-proclaimed plantita, the wide trunk capacity is a huge pro since her new plants fit perfectly. Meanwhile, Sam gave high praises about the car’s interior and suspension. He said, “I personally love the luxurious interior and easy-to-use media panel! The suspension, space, stability, and style are nothing short of impressive and are perfect for a daily drive. It’s definitely a bang for your buck!”

The Chery Tiggo 8 comes with a 3-year 24/7 Roadside Assistance, 3-year PMS, 5-year General Vehicle Warranty, and 10-year or 1 million-kilometer Engine Warranty–all for free. Find out the rest of Chery Tiggo 8’s top-of-the-line features by following them on Facebook and Instagram.
