The arrival of Chery Tiggo 8 Pro into Nigeria’s automobile industry has brought excitement among enthusiasts setting the stage for Nigerian customers to experience a new cutting-edge technology.

Tiggo 8 Pro is known for unparalleled performance, style, sleek designs and fuel efficiency, which is critical when Nigeria is contending with high pump prices since the removal of the petrol subsidy.

The unveiling marks a significant step forward in Chery’s expansion strategy within Africa, promising to bring unmatched driving experiences to Nigerian consumers. It also shows the brand’s growing influence and the strong relationships the brand is building within the region.

According to him, Carloha is not just selling cars, but selling automobile solutions.

“We decided to go for Chery for a few reasons: it is the number one vehicle in China, and it is present in about 80 countries. Last year, over 1 million Chery was exported out of China, with about 13 million users worldwide. That is why Carloha settled for Chery and this launch marks the rebirth of Chery in Nigeria,” Adigun said.
