Verdict
The Tiggo 8 PHEV brings seven seats, 340 hp and a claimed 90 km EV range to the D-segment SUV class. At RM159,800, it costs more than the Proton X90, Jetour VT9 and Leapmotor C10, but remains below the Mazda CX-8, Tiggo 9 and Omoda Jaecoo C9. Its appeal rests on the plug-in-hybrid drivetrain and claimed 1,200 km total range.
