The Tiggo 8 is a seven-seat SUV that will be powered by a 2.0 litre four-cylinder TGDi turbocharged petrol engine for our market. Offering 254 hp and 390 Nm in the way of output, the mill will be paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The company has stated that a PHEV version will be introduced in Malaysia next year.
As for the Omoda 5, Malaysia will be the first right-hand drive market for the B-segment SUV. In China, the model is available with a 194 hp/290 Nm 1.6 litre turbo petrol with seven-speed DCT and AWD as well as a 154 hp/230 Nm 2WD 1.5 litre turbo petrol paired with a CVT, which was what was seen on the preview example last year.
