Chery Arrizo 8 Overview: A Plug-In Hybrid Sedan With a 24.6-Inch Cockpit and 18 Driver Aids for AED 79,900

Dubai: The Chery Arrizo 8 is a family-size sedan that mixes plug-in hybrid power with a screen-heavy cabin and a long safety-tech list. It costs AED 79,900, which puts it right beside the petrol sedans many buyers already know. Its 154 hp plug-in hybrid system is the main talking point. 

Our inside-and-out tour covers the styling and cabin in detail. This overview pulls everything together: price, design, comfort, tech, safety and rivals.

Plug-In Power Without the Fuss

The Arrizo 8 pairs a 1.5-litre turbo engine with an electric motor and a Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT). That means you can drive in EV mode around town and let the engine help on longer trips. Five drive modes let you choose between everyday, economy and sporty settings.

Good to know: Chery has not shared the electric-only range or battery size in the details we have, so ask the dealer. It decides how much you will benefit from plugging in.

Boardroom Looks, Six Colour Choices: The Exterior

This is a large sedan for the money. At 4,757 mm long, it feels more upmarket than its price suggests. Dual-lens LED lights, smart dynamic turn signals and VIP welcome lights give it presence at night. It rides on 18-inch machined alloys with 235/45 R18 tyres.

Our colour guide shows how each shade changes the car's mood. For UAE summers, we suggest a lighter shade such as Khaki White or Aviation Silver.

A Cabin Built Around You

Chery calls the layout a wave-like surrounding cockpit. You get leather power seats, six-way electric adjustment, a yacht-style gear lever and an armrest that opens in opposite directions. Infinite atmosphere lights add mood at night. Automatic AC handles the heat.

• Best for comfort: Power seats and a lounge-style layout
• Best for show: Yacht-style gear lever and ambient lighting
• Still unknown: Boot capacity and rear legroom figures

Rear space matters if you carry a family, so check it in person.

Screens and Smart Features

The 24.6-inch duplex surrounding screen is the headline feature. It merges the driver display and infotainment panel into one sweeping unit. A 540° panoramic camera helps with tight parking. The Arrizo 8 is also Chery's first model with 50W wireless fast charging.

Final Verdict: Should You Buy the Arrizo 8

Yes, for sure if you want hybrid technology, a big screen, and many driver aids for under AED 80,000. Choose a petrol rival if you want the simplest ownership story. Stretch to the MG 7 only if driving thrills matter most.

Moreover, we suggest you test drive it in EV mode, sit in the back and ask for the airbag count and electric range. Then read our guide to five alternatives at AED 79,900 before you decide on the one that feels right for you.
