Remember to subscribe and let's engage on anything related to cars. When we say "growth" we mean your presence. 😀 This is the second video on the Chery Tiggo 8 pro, a detailed walkaround and features video is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZDbqWWngqt3qLs

[@londamavundla1400]

YES, this is it bro. Thank you for doing justice to the car. It is definitely worth 2 videos. 👌🏾 I believe you are the first 🇿🇦 reviewer to do a thorough review here on KZbin.

[@sebuwam]

It was gonna be too long based on how I planned it. I had to split it. Thanks a lot for the feedback overall. Helps one to grow✌🏾

[@ZakPooe]

Who thought the Haval H6 would get competition so soon? 😅 Chery has come in guns blazing and with this kind of competition, the buyer always wins. The Chinese car manufacturers have grown in the last decade or so, and if all were to go global, Europeans would be on their knees. Awesome review as always bro, this is great 👍🏼👏👏👏

[@sebuwam]

I did not see it coming so soon as well. 🤔😅 but its good for consumers as now there is choice. I don't remember if I was discussing with you when I said watch out for China. Its already shaking the world and with EVs they are already flexing their muscles. Thanks a lot Zee. Let's keep at it🙏🏽🤜🏾

[@ZakPooe]

@@sebuwam Yea man we talked about it recently. I can't wait to see their EVs shake things even more

[@ThaboMashiloane]

I am sold on this car. The H6 still looks great and at a couple of grands cheaper for top spec its very close. The 2.0t and the 4x4 also makes you take a 2nd look at it. For me personally though, this Tiggo 8 Pro has advantages I could not ignore. Doing my few annual trips on the N1 to the Cape with family seems more appealing with the 8. The layout of the interior just does it for me. That remote start is a good bragging rights feature too. 😜😜 You win some, you loose some but for what Im winning when getting the Tiggo 8Pro Im happy to loose out on that little from the H6. 👍👍👍

[@sebuwam]

What I like though is that you are taking an informed decision Thabo and thats why we have these engagements. I would not blame you for taking either car honestly. They are both great!🤜🏾🙏🏽

[@m2ngwa89]

The AWD only comes in handy in wet weather and gravel for grip. Other than that, our dry weather doesn't really benefit it. I drive a AWD Tiguan.

[@ThaboMashiloane]

@@m2ngwa89 True. But I also like trips to our nature reserves so 4x4 can be handy there.

[@thabodennis]

Thanx man, this is indeed the best review ever... I was complaining when I opened the video and i saw how long it was... but bro,, its worth it... its the best, after this I dont need to hear anyone, I heard everything I needed... Thank you

[@wardes7585]

Love your content man. Please don't change your format! Your way of doing your videos is unique and special to you and I for one love it! I really love the nerd/geek silence part where you go over every single feature in silence. It's then really cool to hear your thoughts in a separate video 😊 Ps. This car is stunning. I'd definitely consider one!

[@sebuwam]

Man thats so positive and encouraging. I appreciate the time taken to write this. It really means a lot. As for the car, the design game is just so stunning👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

[@demtumza]

The way cars are looking so good nowadays, I wonder how will designers improve these looks in the future. Anyway big thanks for the video, and good luck🙏🙏🙏

Great job brother. Very informative. I was glued to my seat, I could not even finish making my tea, I was completely enthralled. Next time, please go and show us how the seats at the back feel when an adult seats on them. That's basically why people buy 7 seats. How comfortable are the seats, how big is the boot when all the seats are up versus when they are down. I hope you will show us all those things in future. But other than that, excellent review. High quality. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@thabokhalo9497]

Great review, I watched it so many times before I got me Executive😂😂 I figured out the hazards is the rear pre- collision, if it senses the rear vehicle is approaching to fast and getting to close. Enjoying the car while owning an A7. Bang for buck.

[@sebuwam]

Thanks a lot Thabo. 😀 There is indeed value for money here . I hope you have many happy kilometres ahead.👌🏾🙏🏽

[@lifewithkeabetswe]

Hi Thabo. I hope you’re enjoying this beast! May I ask, what’s the Fuel range on a full tank? Also how is the consumption per KM? Is it efficient so far?

[@thabokhalo9497]

Hi Keabetswe, I'm getting plus minus 500KM with 41 liters fill up, that's about R920 at the moment. I do mostly short trips with occasional highway driving, it will probably improve after the 1st service, I'm on 2000km at the moment. I'm pretty happy with it for the size of car. I worked it out to be 8.2L per 100.

Hello, everyone. I am the Chinese owner of tiggio8. The sales volume of tiggio 8 in our country is very good, because it is more fuel-efficient and more powerful than Haval H6, so your choice is not wrong.

[@sebuwam]

Hi, thanks a lot. Here in South Africa🇿🇦, the power figures are lower than the H6, we only have the 2.0L H6

[@charles123996]

Ya, that's very impressive indeed. It reminds me of 2016 Volvo xc60. Obviously the modern touch screen is better.

[@sebuwam]

Very Impressive indeed. Its a serious improvement considering that we would not think of Volvo and Chery in the same sentence just last year👏🏾

[@alexhadebe4079]

Is a beautiful car God Jesus Christ willingly will own it soon amen.

[@o_lin3202]

What do reckon about reliability though? It looks amazing now for sure but would you be comfortable putting down that much cash with a brand that isn’t known for reliability? Of course, we mustn’t hate on them for nothing but it’s a big decision still, you know?? Long-term view is a bit more intimidating with Chery/Haval?

[@sebuwam]

Well, I think they are trying as much as they can to lure people in with extended warranties. I am no longer worried about Haval as they have proven themselves over the last teo years. Chery still has some ground to cover here in SA but honestly, I don't see these cars falling apart anytime soon. The only challenge is the tech, software slow downs and general deteriorarions in techy staff. This goes for all brands though! Otherwise I am gaining confidence with every passing day!🤔✌🏾

[@o_lin3202]

@@sebuwam true! Good thoughts all round. Super interesting products. This is what we need in the market! Super exciting stuff.

This adaptive cruise control is so scary, it's the not being in control and trusting the car to sort of drive itself that is scary

[@khutsontsoane7222]

The car is great but my biggest concern is fuel consumption. In today's world where global warming is a concern I would say cars with more fuel consumption are not friendly to the environment. The more the consumption the more the emmisions. It is cheap to buy but expensive to run. Anything more than 7.5L/100KM in a real world is a no for me. I would like to see how the coming Tiggo 7 is on fuel consumption.

[@sebuwam]

I agree with you, also on fuel, it is a concern actually and I am hoping that Chery can address that with time. I am waiting for them to lauch it so that I can shoot it with the necessary information🙂

[@lebekorasikhanya7665]

Hahahaha then you are not ready to drive any SUV. Its fuel consumption is ridiculous. Had full tank on Friday and by Monday it was empty, it did not even drive more than 300km
