Beyond BRICS, the Tiggo 8 family has been no stranger to high-profile appearances. In the past, these vehicles have served prestigious roles, from welcoming the President of Brazil to being the official car of Qatar Airways.

Behind the glossy exterior, the Tiggo 8 Pro Max houses a formidable 2.0 Turbo GDI engine, a proprietary development of Chery.

The BRICS collaboration, inaugurated in 2006, embodies the collective ambitions of the member countries. This cooperation, transcending various sectors, has been instrumental in driving global economic growth, fostering reforms in the global governance system, and ensuring stability.

Chery's association with this summit aligns with its ethos. For 26 years since its inception, the automaker has been unwavering in its dedication to independent research and development.

Their strategic focus areas encompass a spectrum of technical arenas, ranging from power R&D, platform evolution to advancements in intelligent driving. Complementing this is their agile pursuit of novel energy sources and intelligent solutions.

Dominating the export of passenger vehicles from China, the brand has retained its top spot for an astounding 20 consecutive years.

A glance at their sales statistics is equally telling. Their global sales tally has crossed the 12 million mark, with an overseas user base exceeding 2.8 million.

And in just the first seven months of this year, Chery reported sales of 891,895 units, marking a robust year-on-year growth of 47 percent.

A significant cornerstone of Chery's success story is its formidable R&D infrastructure.

The company has judiciously set up six research and development centers spanning key global locations — Wuhu, Shanghai, North America, South America, Europe and Central Asia.

These centers underscore Chery's capability to design and produce vehicles that resonate with global audiences, rivaling multinational car conglomerates in their prowess.

Their accomplishments not only reflect their drive to achieve excellence but also affirm their position as a prominent player in the global automotive arena.
