The new generation of the Tiggo 8 was announced at an event in China on 27 September 2025. The similar vehicle was previously introduced in April 2025 for export markets as the Lepas L8, as the first model from the export-only Lepas marque. Its plug-in hybrid version will be marketed as the Chery Fulwin T8 in China. In China, the model is marketed as the "fifth-generation" Tiggo 8 while being positioned as a two-row, five-seater model with two different front fascia design options named the Tiger Variant and Leopard Variant.
