Which Chery SUV model has a spare tire mounted on the back?

Chery SUV with a spare tire mounted on the back is the Tiggo. Brief introduction of Tiggo: Since its launch in 2005, the Chery Tiggo has been exported to over 80 countries, earning the trust and praise of more than 400,000 users worldwide. With its outstanding quality, it has become the only official designated vehicle for multiple international events. The Tiggo has formed a family lineup including the Classic Edition, Elite Edition, and DR European Edition. While reshaping the high-end quality image of Chinese independent brands, it has also become a domestically and internationally recognized independent brand model that meets international standards. Exterior: Previously exposed spy photos were in early testing stages, while the recently spotted test vehicle is closer to the production version. Due to heavy camouflage in the spy photos, it is difficult to discern more details of the new vehicle, but an abstract X-shape can be seen on the lower part of the front fascia, with the headlights and grille designed as a single unit. The rear taillights feature an added LED strip, encircling the central reverse light bulb, successfully showcasing Chery's new design approach through the taillights. Interior: The interior is identical to the previously released TX concept car, featuring exaggerated cannon-style instrument dials and a large LCD screen in the center console, giving the cabin a clean and layered appearance. From the spy photos, the rear seating space appears to have improved compared to the Tiggo. Powertrain: The powertrain is equipped with a 2.0DVVT engine, delivering a maximum output of 138 horsepower and a peak torque of 180N·m. There are reports that a 1.4TGDI engine will be added in 2014.

I recently chatted with a friend who drives a Chery SUV, and the spare tire mounted on the back was particularly eye-catching. He mentioned it's a certain model from the Chery Tiggo 8 series, possibly called the Tiggo 8 Pro or Explorer Edition. The externally mounted spare tire design is quite common among domestic SUVs, and this arrangement on the Tiggo 8 is indeed practical—no need to dig through the trunk to access the spare, especially during emergencies like a flat tire, saving precious seconds. However, it's worth noting that not all Tiggo 8 models come with a rear-mounted spare; this depends on the specific configuration and model year, as newer versions might have simplified the design. The Tiggo 8 itself offers ample space and robust power, making it ideal for family trips, but the exposed spare tire can increase wind resistance and noise, resulting in a noticeable hum at highway speeds. It's advisable to visit a Chery dealership to see the car in person or check the official website's specifications to confirm which versions offer this feature, rather than relying solely on forum discussions that might lead to choosing the wrong model.

As someone who loves researching cars, I've test-driven several Chery SUVs, and the ones with rear-mounted spare tires are usually the Tiggo 8 series, like some older Tiggo 8 models. The advantage of an externally mounted spare tire is that it's convenient and hassle-free to access, without worrying about dirt from the undercarriage contaminating the spare. Plus, the tire size often remains standard. The Tiggo 8 is positioned as a midsize SUV, and the spare tire location keeps the trunk neat, but the downside is slightly higher fuel consumption and the need for extra anti-theft precautions. Chery updates its models quickly, and some newer versions have already removed the external spare tire, so you should check the current sales list to avoid a wasted trip to the dealership. Don't rush to place an order—first, test the spare tire's installation in person to ensure it's secure and avoid future issues.

Last month, I rented a Chery Tiggo 8 to experience driving on mountain roads. One of the models indeed had a spare tire mounted at the rear, and the design of the spare tire position gave the car a more off-road look. I really like this style—it’s super convenient for emergency tire changes, saving me from bending over to dig for tools in the trunk and avoiding dirtying my clothes. After driving it, I felt the Tiggo 8’s overall performance was quite good. Although the externally mounted spare tire adds some weight, the actual impact is minimal. Just remember to regularly check the spare tire’s pressure to ensure it’s safe and functional, avoiding any roadside surprises.

I always pay attention to driving safety details. It's quite reasonable for certain versions of Chery SUVs like the Tiggo 8 to have a rear-mounted spare tire, as it allows for quick tire changes in case of a breakdown, reducing roadside risks—especially crucial during night driving or in rain/snow conditions. The Tiggo 8's spare tire design maximizes cabin space without crowding, but it's important to take anti-theft measures such as adding a spare wheel cover or protective lock. I recommend checking the vehicle manual or consulting a local 4S store to confirm whether current models retain this feature, rather than relying solely on online images, to avoid purchasing a downgraded version that could compromise travel safety.

I remember the Chery Tiggo 8 version with the spare tire mounted on the back was quite famous. The spare tire hanging at the rear gives it a rugged and stylish look, but requires extra attention for cleaning and maintenance, such as preventing water rust from corroding the tire. A friend who drove it said this design of the Tiggo 8 helped him a lot during a suburban trip when he had a flat tire—it was solved instantly without occupying the internal storage space, killing two birds with one stone. Not every SUV comes with an external spare tire, so Chery's approach is quite practical. During a test drive, just personally check the stability of the spare tire to confirm if it meets daily needs.
