Exciting times are ahead for Chery fans! The international debut of the Chery Tiggo 7 Sport has car enthusiasts buzzing with anticipation. This sleek and stylish SUV, which has been making waves in China, is set to launch officially in September 2024. While it’s not slated to hit South African shores just yet, its global reveal is still something to celebrate. Let’s dive into what makes the Tiggo 7 Sport such a compelling addition to the Chery lineup.

First Impressions Matter

The Chery Tiggo 7 Sport is turning heads for all the right, albeit controversial, reasons. Sporting a bold design reminiscent of the iconic Range Rover, this new model brings a fresh look to the streets. At first glance, you’ll notice the striking mesh grille, which closely resembles the British luxury SUV. This resemblance is no coincidence, considering Chery’s joint venture partnership with Jaguar Land Rover in China. Far from being a simple copycat, the Tiggo 7 Sport pays homage to its prestigious counterpart, blending classic elegance with Chery’s unique design flair.

The SUV’s resemblance to the Range Rover doesn’t end with the grille. The narrow bumper, skid plate, and sleek daytime running lights all contribute to a look that feels both familiar and innovative. With its stylish profile, hidden door handles, and aerodynamic roof racks, the Tiggo 7 Sport balances urban sophistication with an adventurous spirit.

Enticing Interior Features

Step inside the Tiggo 7 Sport, and you’re greeted with a modern, well-crafted interior that emphasises comfort and connectivity. The spacious cabin features a floating instrument panel and a large infotainment screen, ensuring drivers have all the information they need at their fingertips. The through-type air conditioning and chunky drive selector add to the car’s high-end feel, making every journey a pleasure.

Much like its exterior, the interior of the Tiggo 7 Sport draws inspiration from Chery’s other popular models, particularly the Chery Tansuo 06, also known internationally as the JAECOO J7. This familiarity brings a sense of unity across Chery’s range, showcasing their commitment to quality and user-friendly design.

Pure Performance Powerhouse

The Chery Tiggo 7 Sport isn’t just about good looks; it’s a performance powerhouse too. While specific powertrain details are still under wraps, it’s expected that this SUV will share its engine with the Tansuo 06. This means a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, delivering an impressive 145 kW of power and 290 Nm of torque. Paired with a seven-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, the Tiggo 7 Sport promises a smooth and responsive driving experience. Whether navigating city streets or exploring winding mountain roads, this SUV is built to perform.

A Look To The Future

The Chery Tiggo 7 Sport marks another exciting chapter in Chery’s ongoing evolution. Its bold design choices and strong performance credentials position it as a serious contender in the global SUV market. This model aligns with Chery’s broader strategy of innovation and expansion, solidifying its place among the top players in the automotive industry. As Chery continues to grow its portfolio, fans worldwide can expect more groundbreaking vehicles in the near future.

The post New Chery Tiggo 7 Sport Makes A Splash appeared first on Group1 Chery.

With an affordable range of reliable and stylishly modern sports utility vehicles, like the recently introduced Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, Tiggo 4 Pro and the Tiggo 8 Pro, Chery is fast becoming a household name. The automaker recently reported its monthly sales now exceed 1000 units which indicates the brand is quickly gaining popularity in South Africa. As a result, Chery has become one of the top ten new car brands available in South Africa.

Is The Chery Tiggo A Good Car?

As with all cars, the answer depends on your requirements as each one offers something different. If you’re a single professional, a couple, or have young children, then the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro should meet your needs. For bigger families or those who just need more room, the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro offers seating for seven people plus ample storage space.

If you want something in between, the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro is the perfect option. While it doesn’t have seven seats, it has a wide range of premium features similar to the bigger Chery Tiggo 8 Pro. Not to mention a comfortable drive with sufficient head and legroom for all occupants and decent boot space.

The luxurious features included in all of the top-spec Chery models make them stand out among their competitors. With voice control, a panoramic sunroof, quality headlights, comfy seats and a Sony-driver audio system, it’s hard to ignore just how much value you get at a lower price than similar SUVs on the market today.

Why You Should Buy The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro

While both the Tiggo 4 Pro and the Tiggo 8 Pro are certainly impressive, the recently launched Chery Tiggo 7 Pro appears to be the happy medium.

Not only does the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro drive incredibly well, but its suspension also provides the perfect balance between comfort and firmness for added control, even around corners. It may not be sporty but it does pack a punch and handles dirt tracks and the often-neglected tarmac roads in South Africa with ease.

The steering is light and responsive but you can also firm it up using the different built-in Drive modes. With the ECO and SPORT modes, you can channel more power when you need it most or simply cruise along to save on fuel. With a reported fuel economy rate of 6,8 L/100 km, your budget will go even further.

Interior Features And Flawless Voice Control

The seating positions are another highlight, not to mention the big sunroof that makes the cabin feel even roomier and fresh. Better yet, you can use voice commands to tilt, open, and close the sunroof. With natural language processing, you can also use voice commands to open or close the windows and climate settings. Unlike many other brands, even high-end models from big manufacturers, the Chery voice control system works flawlessly.

While features may vary depending on the variant, the top-spec executive model is packed with everything you need, including:

• cruise control
• 6 airbags
• anti-lock brakes
• brake assist
• lane-departure warning
• electric windows and mirrors
• remote central locking
• keyless start

The tech-laden driving experience is another selling point of the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro. With its large 10,25-inch touchscreen display, you have easy access to the car’s various functions and settings, including Bluetooth connectivity, and a variety of other features.

The touchscreen is easy to see and control, and the sound quality is excellent. For those who enjoy a hands-free experience, the Tiggo 7 Pro offers Bluetooth connectivity and steering wheel-mounted controls. It also includes a built-in navigation system that makes it easy to get around.

The 7-inch digital driver cluster is also a handy feature, providing all the information you need while the system provides seamless smartphone support for audio streaming apps such as Audible and YouTube Music. The main display links to a multi-camera system displaying a 360-degree view all around the vehicle.

Power, Performance And Safety

The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro is fun to drive in town or on the open road as it offers sufficient power and torque without sounding overwhelmed when putting your foot down. There is no wheel slip when pulling away from a standstill position and you can confidently accelerate to overtake even on wet roads.

Under the bonnet is a smooth, powerful but economical 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine. It delivers 108kW and 210Nm of torque to the front wheels through a responsive Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) as standard.

In Normal Drive mode, the revs stay low for a more relaxed ride, but you still have enough throttle response to take advantage of occasional gaps in highway traffic. But, when switching to Sport mode, the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro springs to life with higher revs and shorter gear ratios for additional power.

In terms of vehicle safety, the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro is right up there with the best (and most expensive). A high-strength body adds to occupant safety along with the following:

• Omnidirectional Airbag System
• 360-degree Allround View Monitor*
• Rear Park Distance Control Sensors
• Rear View Camera
• TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
• ABS & EBD & BAS (Brake Assist System)
• ESP (Electronic Stability Program)
• Hill Start Assist and Hill Decent Control
• Blind Spot Detection
• Rear Traffic Alert
• Lane Departure Warning*
• Front Collision Warning*
• Automatic Emergency Braking*

* Model-dependent features

Is The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Good Value For Money?

With car prices reaching an all-time high, you may be wondering if it’s worth buying the Chery Tigo 7 Pro. Well, considering the price you pay for a German or Japanese SUV with similar offerings, the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Executive, in particular, is a bargain at just R454,900.

The Chery is an excellent choice for anyone looking to spend R500,000 or less on a family car. Even though the brand hasn’t been around for very long, it’s also already demonstrated impressive reliability and a strong dealer network.

It offers a spacious 475-litre boot, good ground clearance, and loads of safety and convenience features you would pay a premium for with other brands. The engine noise is also minimal and you get a great brake pedal feel with light steering which makes it easy to manoeuvre and park.

The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro comes with a five-year or 150,000km mechanical warranty while first owners also get a 10-year or 1,000,000km warranty for the engine which is unheard of. The car also comes standard with a five-year or 60,000km service plan while service intervals are recommended every 15,000km.

Final Verdict On The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro

In summary, the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro is a great car for those looking for a balance between size, luxury features and price. With its excellent build quality, modern design and comprehensive safety features, the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro ticks all the right boxes.

From the driver’s seat, you get a sense of security, quality and comfort while displaying no creaks, shakes or unfamiliar noises. With a robust design, powerful engine, responsive transmission and a long list of features, you will struggle to find a family SUV that offers better value for money than the Tiggo 7 Pro.

The post Why The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Offers Great Value For Money appeared first on Group1 Chery.

Chery has formally entered the South African market with the brilliant Chery Tiggo SUVs and they have been selling like hot cakes. Yet, each of the three cars – the Tiggo 4 Pro, 7 Pro and 8 Pro are clearly different cars aimed at different buyers. We spoke to a few buyers to find out why they chose the particular Tiggo they bought.

This is just a quick sample of buyers, and for each of these cars, there were buyers who bought them for different reasons. For example, we feature a mother of three, a homemaker with a part-time job, who bought the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro, but there were young professionals who wanted a sharp-looking, full-features compact SUV and even a couple of retirees among those we interviewed.

Chery Tiggo 4 Pro

Lindi is a homemaker with three children in primary school and the school and sports runs take up the major part of her day. She also has a part-time job making and selling pottery to retail outlets in her area.

Her primary reason for buying the Tiggo 4 Pro was safety. “I am constantly driving from here to there with my kids and their friends, and I want them to be safe. I like the idea that my Tiggo is made from super safe steel that can deal with any accident, and the fact that it has all these airbags and anti-skid brakes and so on.”

She also likes the CVT which means she can just drive and not worry about changing gears, as well as the car’s compact size which makes it easy to park. The Tiggo 4’s surprisingly large boot also allows her to pack her bulky pottery for deliveries to her customers.

Chery Tiggo 7 Pro

Shane is a young IT professional, single, likes to party and hang out with friends. He chose the Tiggo 7 because it is ‘such a hot looking car’ and his friends prefer to go in his car when they go out.

The Tiggo 7 is also a very professional-looking car – client look at your ride when you visit and the 7 certainly impresses them.

Shane bought the Executive trim Tiggo 7, because he loves the powered panoramic sunroof, a massive 1.13m2 one-touch on-off view of the sky. Because he works with technology, he also loves the multiple screens, 360-degree camera, voice command system, infotainment system, handsfree Bluetooth, 6-speakers sound system and wireless charging.

Chery Tiggo 8 Pro

Vusi is an entrepreneur and CEO of a small but growing company, a family man who loves going on getaways.

The Tiggo 8 Pro looks big and smart enough to compete with even the fanciest of the top-end SUVs on the market, yet it was in a price bracket that suited Vusi’s budget admirably.

The seven seats and huge boot allow him to take his wife, kids and a couple of their friends, as well as all the luggage they need, to weekend getaways in comfort, style and perfect safety. The impressive infotainment also takes the ‘are we there yet?’ out of even the longest trips.

Which Chery Tiggo one suits you and what you do best?

Following the tremendous success of the Tiggo 4 and the Tiggo 8, Chery Motors seems to have hit the spot with the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro. It’s not often you hear of car brands bouncing back the way Chery has and it’s nothing short of a revelation. The flagship Tiggo 8 Pro took everyone’s breath away and now, the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro is showing off its appeal with modern styling, loads of features and ample space at an unbelievable price.

Revival Of The Chery Brand In South Africa

It’s quite normal for the wider motoring community to be apprehensive about brands that haven’t performed all that well in the past. Citroen is one example as they pulled out of South Africa in 2016 only to make a tremendously successful comeback in 2019.

Proton follows a similar story as the company announced in 2015 that it would stop all vehicle sales in South Africa, stating that the market was deteriorating. However, in 2022, Proton is back in the driving seat with the Combined Motor Holdings (CMH) Group as the local distributor.

Chery is an even bigger success story in the making with the latest Tiggo family of cars looking the part in more ways than one. The company first arrived in South Africa in 2008, introducing the QQ3 and Tiggo 3. Since Chery was an unknown entity at the time, local buyers were apprehensive to spend money on a brand they didn’t know.

While styling may be objective and hardly a deciding factor, the biggest concerns were unproven mechanics and reliability. As such, Chery spent time and money gathering and analysing data, monitored buyer trends and identified the positives of launching in South Africa.

What The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Offers Today

Looking at the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, it’s a far cry from any Chery car of just 10 years ago. Today, this modern and stylish SUV can stand tall on any showroom floor, offering incredible value for money. If competitors are not concerned yet, they should be as the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro delivers on all fronts. There are also seven body colours to choose from.

While the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro looks similar to its bigger Tiggo 8 sibling, there are a few differentiating factors. Overall, the Tiggo 7 SUV looks more muscular and perhaps a little sportier from the front. It has smooth design lines and lovely finishes, inside and out. From 18-inch wheels and a roof-mounted spoiler to dual exhaust surrounds, heated and electrically foldable mirrors with integrated LED indicators, the Tiggo 7 SUV is in the big leagues now.

All the lights are LEDs and switch on automatically while it also has intelligent wide-angle fog lights and light-bar-type LED daytime running lights. Some of the most striking elements are the hexagonal grille with three-dimensional diamond-shaped brightwork and the elongated front lights which run from the grille to the start of the sharply creased shoulder line.

Inside The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro

What you get on the inside is as impressive as the exterior which resembles much of the same in other Tiggo models. The leather-like dash is uncluttered, featuring three digital screens with soft-touch surfaces that add a sense of elegance and luxury that would appeal to just about anyone.

The digital instrument cluster is another attractive feature with a large 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system complete with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A third touch screen for the climate control functions sits a little lower down on the console that offers surgical-level N95 air filtering. It also powers the cooling system of the cooled central cubbyhole.

Adding further impetus to the already stylish interior is the short gear-lever and gloss black. Drivers and passengers will love the amount of storage space throughout the cabin, especially in the front. Below the centre console, you will find a handy storage compartment with a wireless charging tray to keep things neat and tidy.

In terms of space, there is ample rear legroom with a sufficient luggage compartment offering storage of 475-litres which expands to 1500 litres when you fold down the seats. From sporting gear and camping accessories to beach toys and groceries, the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro SUV can do it all!

Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Engine Specs And Performance

The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro is available in two versions, the R409,900** Distinctive and the R444,900** Executive models. Both get a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol, four-cylinder engine producing 108kW and 210Nm of torque delivering enough power for most applications in urban centres or the open road.

The Tiggo 7 SUV also has a CVT transmission with nine pre-programmed “gears” which are smooth and well-suited to the Tiggo 7’s nature. As you’d expect from a slightly smaller engine, there is some turbo-lag when pulling away but out on the road, the Tiggo 7 is a pleasure to drive and eager to cruise. The good structural design and suspension also make it a comfortable ride over various road surfaces.

Today, many people are looking for an affordable, reliable and economical car and the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro delivers in spades. It has a respectable fuel economy of 6.8-litres/100km which is good for its size and low overall maintenance costs.

Is The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Safe?

With occupant safety being a primary concern among automakers, all Chery Tiggo 7 Pro models come with a long list of safety and convenience features. For the price of a Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, you wouldn’t believe all the added extras which include the following:

• ISOFIX child seat anchors
