Verdict
The Tiggo 8 PHEV has a clear brief: seven seats, plug-in hybrid drive, 1,200 km total range and 90 km EV range. It is not the cheapest D-segment SUV here, costing more than the Proton X90, Jetour VT9 and Leapmotor C10. It sits below the Mazda CX-8, Chery Tiggo 9 and Omoda Jaecoo C9, so the case rests on hybrid ability and seating, not the lowest price.
