AI generated from our expert reviews

The Chery Tiggo 8 has a third row of seats, whereas the OMODA 7 does not. Both cars feature light steering that helps make tight manoeuvres easy. If you choose their plug-in hybrid versions, the OMODA 7 PHEV provides easy slip-road acceleration, while the Chery Tiggo 8 plug-in hybrid offers sufficient acceleration so you will have no issues getting up to speed on slip roads. When you drive on a twisty road, the OMODA 7 is capable and borderline fun to drive, but twisty roads are where the Chery Tiggo 8 really disappoints.
