Chinese SUV Fight! Haval H6 vs new Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max (in-depth comparison)

Күн бұрын

Just 10 years ago, when a number of Chinese brands entered the South African market and then hastily retreated, it seemed that the established brands were safe from Chinese competition.
Fast forward ten years and the situation has changed dramatically. Haval is a top 5 brand in SA and Chery leapt into the top 10 within 1 year of trading.
The two SUVs featured here represent the flagship variants of their respective brands (the Haval H6 hybrid notwithstanding) and yet both are available at a price point below R700 000 (as of October 2023) which in today's market represents excellent value, especially with the level of tech and comfort features fitted as standard equipment.
We hope you enjoy and find this review useful and we'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.

Hello, I own the Tiggo 8 Pro Max.. it does have heated and cooling seats. Both driver and passenger. Wonder why the vehicle driven in this video doesn't have that option.

@SDav21 9 ай бұрын

I think it's in the menus on the touch screen and doesn't have dedicated buttons which is why he may have missed it. It's standard. Also, congrats on the Chery. It is truly the best SUV out there in my opinion. Period. For the money, it feels so high quality. It has better interior quality than cars double its price from Mercedes like the GLB and new GLC. It's crazy! I absolutely love the Tiggo 8. What a car. If people aren't looking at it, they really are doing themselves a disservice. I think if someone needs an SUV, the Chery Tiggo 8 is the only one to get.

My vote goes to the 2024 Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max. Reasons; has 184KW Battery Power output,Panaromic sunroof ,7passenger seats,voice activation etc. However it comes short of heated&cooling seats and more ground clearance for me. Anyways CONGRATS to it❤. It won the Challenge and has answered all questions from this assessment😊😊😊😊

Agreed. As ciro said. Back then it was about the badge and all we saw was German perceived as the pinnacle of luxury and here our roads are flooded with Chinese now in this segment. Haval needs to just work on their after sales service as many complaints has come from a few branches of late here in CPT. I simply love the chery in that dark purple color and YES it's just a tad bit more refined than the Haval. Overall loved this toe to toe battle!!

@christiaanbezuidenhout6984 9 ай бұрын

Having the spare wheel under the car is actually better. If you're traveling with a boot packed to the brim, you don't need to take out all your belongings next to the road to get to the spare wheel... And I have to agree, it's only R70k more, but it's like having a car that;s R200k more.

Amazing review. As others have said, Jacob is a great addition to the team! If you ever need to add coloured individual to the team I am available 😂 I was seriously impressed when I first laid eyes on the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro in 2021. I don't think I could ever bring myself to buy one though. I can't even afford eggs these days, but I would absolutely love to drive one some day. Especially the 2.0 Pro Max with it's 180 kW. It's ridiculous in the best way possible! Haval also seems great and I have generally only heard positive things about them, apart from the fuel consumption of course. Chery remains the winner for me.

@@legrangedylandlgyou’ll be very surprised how fast the Pro Max is. It struggles to put its power down off the line, but after 60km/h I promise you it is very quick. I wouldn’t be surprised if it beat a polo GTI from 100-160. I have driven many Pro Max’s so this is from personal experience.
