Chery has handed the Tiggo 7 a timely update, with the Chinese automaker's South African arm revealing local pricing and specifications for the revised lineup.
In June, Chery launched the Tiggo 7 CSH (Chery Super Hybrid), along with the Tiggo Cross HEV (hybrid electric vehicle), in South Africa. Now, following the introduction of the former, new-energy Tiggo 7, the Chinese company has introduced the revised petrol-powered Tiggo 7 to the South African market.

The Chery Tiggo 7 is priced from R429 900, which includes a five-year/60 000km service plan and a five-year/150 000km warranty. A 10-year/one million km engine warranty is included for the first owner.

Chery Tiggo 7 1.6T Prestige DCT — R499 900
Chery Tiggo 7 1.6T Legacy DCT — R549 900
The revised Tiggo 7 lineup is available with the choice of two four-cylinder turbocharged petrol powertrains: a 1.5l unit producing 108kW and 210N.m, and a 1.6l endowed with 147kW and 290N.m of torque. The former is coupled with a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox, while the more powerful engine drives the front wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Chery claims a fuel consumption of 6.9l/100km for the 1.5l and 7.2l/100km for the 1.6l. Both models are equipped with a 51l fuel tank, which allows for an average driving range of 739km and 708km when matching the former and latter figures.

The 1.5l model is exclusively available in Prime trim grade, while the 1.6l derivative can be had in Prestige and Legacy level of specification. As standard, all models are equipped with such nice-to-haves as 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment, replete with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto; 12.3-inch digital instrumentation; dual-zone climate control; and a reverse-view camera.
Prime spec rolls on 18-inch alloy wheels, while Prestige and Legacy gain 19-inch items. Prestige further upgrades to a 540-degree camera array, six-way electrically adjustable driver's seat, and multi-coloured ambient lighting. Both the Prime and Prestige ship with a six-speaker sound system. On top of these items, Legacy grade gains heated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, an eight-speaker Sony audio system, and an electrically operated tailgate. Tyre pressure monitoring is also included across the range.
On the safety front, four airbags are included with the Prime package, while Prestige and Legacy gain eight. Isofix child-seat anchorages are also present. Noteworthy, the Tiggo 7 received the full complement of five stars at an ANCAP safety test.
Chery claims a boot capacity of 565l, which expands to 1 396l when folding down the rear 60:40-split backrest.
'The Tiggo 7 has always been one of our most successful models globally, and with this mid-cycle refresh, we've raised the bar even further,' said Verene Petersen, National Brand and Marketing Manager for Chery South Africa. 'From its bold new design to the enhanced technology and safety features, the refreshed Tiggo 7 offers South Africans even more value and peace of mind.'
