We’re talking about the little things, which include the day-to-day routine and errands that have either been put on hold or even forgotten in the past couple of years. Suddenly, opportunities abound and there is much to take care of.

Although they still prefer to drop the name of their suppliers (Bosch being the most notable example) and their inspirations (Audi being the most mentioned) so casually into their marketing presentations, it’s time for them to stand on their own because the proof’s in the pudding; and the pudding doesn’t get any tastier than with the Tiggo 8 Pro.
