Verdict
The RM20,000 gap matters. The Chery Tiggo 8 costs RM159,800 and brings seven seats, an 18.3-kWh plug-in-hybrid battery, 90 km of EV range and 40-kW DC charging, so it suits families able to charge regularly. Its 193-litre boot is small with all three rows in use. At RM139,800, the five-seat GWM Haval H6 has a far more useful 560-litre boot, a longer 2,738-mm wheelbase and a claimed 7.7-second 0-100 km/h time. Choose by seating and charging access, not badge size.
