September: Chery Tiggo 7 Pro pricing announced

A sharp $39,990 drive-away price ushers Chery’s second model into Australian dealers.

Chery has announced the pricing and features of its Tiggo 7 Pro medium SUV. There are three variants (Urban, Elite, and Ultimate) on offer with national drive-away prices spanning $39,990 to $45,990.

The Tiggo is an older model than the Omoda 5 launched in March this year. Chery’s Tiggo 7 Pro has been on sale in China, South Africa and other markets since 2021, and arrives in Australia ahead of an all-electric Omoda 5 due in 2024.

Power and fuel consumption

Under the Tiggo 7 Pro’s bonnet is a 1.6-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine that is Euro-6 compliant and produces 137kW and 275Nm.

Much like the Omoda 5, local listed outputs for our car are lower than Chinese-market cars (145kW and 290Nm) because "the Australian standard is different to the Chinese standard when it comes to measuring equipment."

The Tiggo's four-cylinder engine is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic that sends power to the front or all four wheels, depending on trim.

In front-drive form, the Euro VI compliant engine returns 7.0L/100km in the ADR combined consumption cycle. The thirstier all-wheel drive (that offsets compromised range with a 6L larger 57L fuel tank) is rated at 7.8L/100km.

The Tiggo 7 Pro requires premium 95 RON or higher unleaded petrol.

Space

Size-wise, the five-seat Tiggo 7 Pro is close to a Volkswagen Tiguan and sits at the smaller end of the medium SUV spectrum. It measures 4513mm long, 1862mm wide, 1696mm tall and rides on a 2670mm wheelbase while packing a healthy 626L cargo space.

“The Tiggo 7 Pro is an effortlessly impressive vehicle that combines style, space, and safety to deliver a medium SUV that will prove the perfect fit for Australian families,” said Chery Australia managing director Andy Zhang.

Inside is plenty of technology, as you’d expect from a Chinese newcomer. Chery’s excellent voice assist features, as does a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay connectivity, and LED headlights.

Chery Tiggo 7 Pro safety

The Tiggo 7 Pro has eight airbags and 18 driver assistance technologies, including AEB, lane-trace assist, driver-attention monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and more.

The new Chery SUV was awarded a 5-star ANCAP safety rating in December, achieving the following scores:

• Adult Occupant Protection: 88%
• Child Occupant Protection: 87%
• Vulnerable Road User Protection: 72%
• Safety Assist: 86%

This five-star ANCAP safety rating applies to all variants of the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro sold in Australia.

Warranty and running costs

Chery wants to offer peace of mind for customers and is adamant it has the dealer and local support needed to deal with warranty claims and accident repairs rapidly, carrying nearly $12 million worth of spare parts for Tiggo and Omoda models.

The Tiggo 7 Pro is covered by a seven-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty, seven years of capped-price servicing and buyers get seven years of roadside assistance thrown in with the purchase.

Full service pricing for seven years has not been confirmed, but the first five trips to a Chery dealer will cost $280 per visit – just $20 each more than a Toyota RAV4.

Chery Tiggo 7 Pro pricing and availability

The Tiggo 7 Pro is available to pre-order now (as of September), with deliveries commencing later this year.

The first 500 buyers will receive three years of complimentary servicing with their Tiggo 7 purchase.

Next to an entry-level non-turbo Hyundai Tucson ($35,150), Mazda CX-5 Maxx ($36,110) Toyota RAV4 GX ($39,760 all before on-road costs), and the Honda ZR-V VTi X ($40,200 drive-away), the Tiggo 7 offers more spec-sheet substance for similar or less money though the proof will be in how it drives.

Chery Tiggo 7 Pro variants

Even the most basic Tiggo 7 Pro Urban has heated seats, a panoramic sunroof and a brand-name sound system at $39,990 drive-away.

Moving up to the mid-spec Elite mostly adds convenience and style features.

The flagship Ultimate scores bigger wheels and an AWD system for enhanced capability.
