Overview
The Chery Tiggo 8 Premium PHEV 4WD is Master Auto’s seven-seat plug-in hybrid SUV at PKR 11,499,000 (PKR 1.15 crore). A 1499 cc turbo PHEV with 496 HP combined, AWD, and 90 km listed EV range targets families who want hybrid flexibility without a full EV commitment.
It is shorter than the Chery Tiggo 9 but shares the DHT PHEV hardware story — think of it as the value seven-seater against Changan Oshan X7 petrol grades and Hyundai Tucson hybrids.
Exterior
At 4725 mm long with 200 mm ground clearance, the Tiggo 8 PHEV is easier to place in Pakistani urban parking than a Palisade-class SUV. LED headlamps, roof rails, 19-inch alloys, and a panoramic roof are on the Pakistan sheet.
Interior
Seven leather seats, dual-zone climate, heated front chairs, rear AC vents, and a power tailgate cover school-run duties. Boot space is 193 L with all rows erected — use the split-fold rows when you need more luggage room.
Infotainment
Chery fits a 15.6-inch central display with navigation, voice control, and wireless smartphone mirroring. A digital cluster and 12-speaker audio round out the cabin tech.
Engine / driving
The 1.5-litre turbo PHEV sends 496 HP and 735 Nm combined through a 3-DHT gearbox and 4WD. Listed pure-electric range is 90 km; combined mileage is 1200 km on the NEDC sheet with a 60 L tank. Top speed is 180 km/h. A 6.6 kW onboard charger is listed for home top-ups.
Safety
Ten airbags, ABS, stability control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, AEB, and a 540° camera are listed. ISOFIX anchors and parking sensors help family use.
Mileage
Expect about 90 km EV-only in ideal conditions; combined range is quoted at 1200 km. Real figures hinge on charge frequency, AC use, and motorway speeds.

Only Premium PHEV 4WD is priced at PKR 11,499,000.
