Kicking off from $41,990 drive-away, the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max is a spacious SUV that ticks all the boxes when you factor in design, engineering, and (importantly) cost of ownership. It competes in one of the most contested automotive segments in the country, so I thought I'd take a road trip south to my relatives' place at Kangaroo Valley in the NSW Southern Highlands and judge this latest and greatest Chery for myself.
On the most direct route from Sydney's Northern Beaches it's a solid 2-hour 40-minute stint behind the wheel down to my accommodation But I wanted to take in a few interesting stops along the way, first of which is the delightfully quaint seaside town of Kiama and an all-time favourite of mine. Along with its rolling hills, panoramic views, and harbour-side fish shops, you'll find spectacular attractions like the lighthouse and always-on blowhole. Treat yourself to any number of interesting cafes including Flour Water Salt bakery for coffee, delicious deli sandwiches, wraps and sweet treats, all of which I was keen to incorporate into the trip south.
It wouldn't matter how many hours driving you did in the Tiggo 8 Pro Max, the level of comfort .
