The Pro Max sits at the top of the Tiggo 8 range: a bigger 2.0-litre turbo instead of the 1.6, seven seats as standard, and all-wheel drive as an option. Don't confuse it with the 1.6T Tiggo 8 variants — those are the ones we currently have in stock in Johannesburg, and they're a good deal cheaper. If you specifically want the 2.0T Pro Max, tell Tembani and he'll give you a straight answer on sourcing and lead time. Cross-shopping? The Tiggo 9 Pinnacle sits above it and we have three of those on the floor right now.

Prices are Chery's own figures, including VAT and excluding licensing and registration — not a price we're quoting off our own floor, since we don't hold this model right now. Chery runs cashback promotions on this model periodically, so the real number may be lower. Monthly figures are estimates on a 10% deposit over 72 months at 12.5%; your actual rate depends on the bank and your credit profile.

Two things worth knowing before you commit. First, we don't hold a Pro Max on the floor right now — the Tiggo 8s we stock are 1.6T versions, different and cheaper cars. Second, the 7.6 L/100km is Chery's lab figure; real-world consumption on a 187kW seven-seater is realistically closer to 8.5, and more in Joburg traffic. We'd rather tell you that up front than have you find out at the first fill-up.
Live from our inventory — if a Tiggo 8 Pro Max lands on our floor it'll show here automatically. If it doesn't, that means exactly what it says.
A car we'd have to source is exactly where a straight answer matters most. You'll get one from Tembani himself — not a junior on a sales floor, and not a maybe. We've been trading in Johannesburg since 2019.
R669 900 for the 2WD and R731 900 for the AWD — Chery's own pricing, including VAT and excluding licensing and registration. Chery has also been running cashback promotions on this model, so message Tembani to confirm what's actually available right now before you budget.
Different engines. The Tiggo 8 Pro uses a 1.6-litre turbo; the Pro Max steps up to a 2.0-litre turbo making 187kW and 390Nm, adds the option of all-wheel drive with six drive modes, and comes with the bigger Sony audio setup. Both seat seven. The Tiggo 8s we currently stock in Johannesburg are 1.6T versions, not the 2.0T Pro Max — see the live stock list on this page for exactly what's on the floor today.
Roughly R11 944 a month on the R669 900 2WD and R13 050 on the R731 900 AWD. Estimate only, on a 10% deposit over 72 months at 12.5% — the figure you actually get depends on the bank and your credit profile. We submit to the major South African banks and come back with a real number.
Yes, seven seats as standard. Be realistic about the boot though: with all three rows up you have 117 litres, which is a couple of shopping bags. Fold the third row and it opens to 739 litres. It's a proper seven-seater for people, not for seven people plus luggage.
Chery claims 7.6 L/100km. Independent testing and owner reports generally land between 8.3 and 8.7, and Johannesburg stop-start traffic will push it higher again. Plan around roughly 9 in town rather than the brochure figure.
Not right now — the Tiggo 8s on our floor are 1.6T versions, not the 2.0T Pro Max. We deal directly in Chery stock and can source a Pro Max; message Tembani for an honest answer on lead time rather than a guess.
A 5-year / 150 000 km vehicle warranty, a 10-year / 1 000 000 km engine warranty for the first owner, a 7-year / 90 000 km service plan (longer than most of the Chery range) and 5 years of roadside assistance.
Yes — we deliver nationwide, not just around Gauteng. Tell Tembani which town you're in and he'll confirm the delivery cost and timing for your address up front, before you commit to anything. Finance, the trade-in valuation and the paperwork are all handled remotely on WhatsApp.
Message Tembani directly — he'll give you an honest answer on sourcing a Tiggo 8 Pro Max, a finance estimate, and next steps.
