Compare the Chery Tiggo 8 vs Ford Explorer
AI generated from our expert reviews
The longer Chery Tiggo 8 has a third row of seats, whereas the Ford Explorer does not. In town, the Chery is not very comfortable as it wallows and fidgets over bumps and dips, while the Ford's suspension is stiff and never really settles over potholes and speed humps. Out on the motorway, the Explorer's cabin remains hushed at speed and its suspension settles down nicely as you go faster. By contrast, the Tiggo 8 does not settle down on the motorway and has quite a lot of wind and road noise in the cabin. On country roads, the Explorer displays very little body roll as you push on through corners, whereas the Chery leans an awful lot around bends.
