What we know about Chery coming to Kitchener

Rollout plan: Chery's Canadian entry is expected to begin in late 2026 to early 2027, prioritising high-EV-adoption metros first. Kitchener sits within a first-wave province and should see availability shortly after the launch metros. Ontario is part of the first-wave launch region, which shapes when the Tiggo 8 Pro EV is likely to be orderable locally.

Certification & import status: Before any sale, the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro EV must meet Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS). New Chinese-made EVs have also faced a 100% import surtax, which directly affects launch timing and pricing. For the current state of play, read our 2026 Chinese EV tariff guide.
