The Chery Tiggo 8, a midsize 7-seater crossover that packs a lot of toys in its unibody chassis, but for a price that doesn't require an arm and a leg. Poised to challenge other rivals in its Philippines, with the size and the price that this car commands. It's a prime candidate for Caco to review on this episode of Behind The Wheel.
