AI generated from our expert reviews

The Chery Tiggo 8 is longer than the Skoda Elroq and comes with a third row of seats, whereas the Elroq does not. You will find that both can carry three people in the back fine for shorter journeys, and both have light steering that makes parking and tight manoeuvres easy. Out on the road, their manners diverge. On winding country roads, the Tiggo 8 leans an awful lot around bends, whereas the Elroq has remarkably little body lean. Motorway driving highlights another clear difference: the Tiggo 8 is noisy and does not settle down, whereas the Elroq keeps fatigue at bay with a distinct lack of wind noise.
