Scheduled to land on the UK market in 2026, the new model will sit above the existing 5 and 7 SUVs in the line-up.
A spokesperson for the Chinese brand confirmed the launch after a handful of UK dealers published advertisements for it online.
Model details
While specifications for the UK have yet to be confirmed, fellow right-hand-drive market Australia sees the 8 with a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine.
This engine puts out 245bhp and 284lb ft of torque.
The 8 is available in either front-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive, depending on the trim level.
Both of these variants use an eight-speed automatic gearbox while range-topping cars also get adaptive suspension.
And as with the 5 and 7 models, the 8 majors on technology.
It is fitted with a 12.3 inch digital instrument display and a matching infotainment touchscreen.
This is powered by the same Qualcomm processor that is deployed in several Volvo and Polestar models.
It also boasts a head-up display, a massaging driver’s seat, and a 14-speaker Sony sound system.
Motorists can enjoy ambient LED lighting, which runs around the dashboard and doorcards.
In various global markets, the 8 is offered with five-, six- and seven-seat interior configurations.
