Chery updates Tiggo 7 range with revised pricing and powertrain options
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. 2025 Chery Tiggo 7 price in South Africa 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 1.5T Prime DCT — R429 900 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. 2025 Chery Tiggo 7 specs 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.

Facelifted Chery Tiggo 7 debuts in South Africa - but is it still too close to the Cross?
The facelifted Chery Tiggo 7 is now on sale in South Africa. Image: Supplied While the smaller Chery Tiggo 4 Pro sets the sales charts alight in South Africa with its sharp pricing, two slightly larger models are fighting for a smaller share of the pie just above that. One of these is the Chery Tiggo 7, which has just received a comprehensive facelift and range realignment to shift it a notch or two more upmarket, presumably so it clashes less with the recently introduced Chery Tiggo Cross. The upgraded Chery Tiggo 7, which now rolls off the tongue a little easier thanks to the 'Pro' being dropped from the end of its name, hits the market in three new specification flavours. The Tiggo 7 is only slightly longer than the Tiggo Cross. Image: Supplied Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading The 1.5T Prime kicks things off at R429,900, with the 1.6T Prestige taking the middle ground at R499,900 and the 1.6T Legacy laying on all the trimmings for R549,900. The pre-facelift Tiggo 7 Pro, for what it's worth, cost between R389,900 and R609,900. The Chery Tiggo Cross, which is actually the new Tiggo 4 in most overseas markets, retails from R399,900 to R449,900. But it's not much smaller than the Tiggo 7, being just 2mm shorter and 31mm narrower, albeit less spacious inside thanks to its wheelbase being 60mm shorter. The Cross is a good 102kg lighter, however, which translates to better economy and performance. The two vehicles are perhaps positioned a little too close for comfort, but it's worth keeping in mind that the Tiggo 7 is an older-generation product, ultimately providing more metal for the money. What's new for 2025? The Chery Tiggo 7 retains its basic body shell, but the front and rear sections have been redesigned. Upfront we see a new diamond-effect grille, flanked by standard LED headlights and garnished by a more deeply sculpted lower bumper. The back end is distinguished by new taillights and reprofiled tailgate and bumper, all of which forge a closer resemblance to the Tiggo Cross. The cabin also receives a significant update. New taillights and reprofiled sheet metal distinguish the rear section. Image: Supplied The 1.5-litre turbocharged engine in the entry version of the Tiggo 7, also found in the Cross, carries over as before, with outputs of 108kW and 210Nm, channeling power through the front wheels via a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. The 1.6-litre turbopetrol engine, fitted to Prestige and Legacy, delivers 145kW and 290Nm, through a seven speed dual-clutch gearbox. A plug-in hybrid version of the Tiggo 7 was also introduced recently, priced at R599,900. What features do you get in the Tiggo 7? As is the norm with Chinese SUVs, buyers are not left wanting for gadgets, even in the lower-specced versions. To that end, the 1.5 Prestige ships with 18-inch alloy wheels, 12.3-inch dual screen infotainment system with 'Hello Chery' intelligent voice command, dual-zone climate control, keyless start, rear-view camera, four airbags and traction control, to name a few. The 1.6T Prestige adds 19-inch alloys, synthetic leather seats, with power adjustment for the driver, surround-view camera and multi-coloured ambient lighting. The airbag count now rises to eight, including a front-centre crash bag, and additional safety features include Blind Spot Detection and Rear Collision Warning. The cabin also receives a fresh look and new dual-screen infotainment system. Image: Supplied Up at the top, the 1.6T Legacy gains a panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, power-operated tailgate, eight-speaker Sony sound system and a vast suite of driver assist gizmos, including Lane Departure Warning, Lane Change Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Front Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking. All Chery Tiggo 7 models are sold with a five-year or 60,000km service plan, five-year or 150,000km warranty and 10-year/1-million kilometre engine warranty for the first owner.

Streamlined Chery Tiggo 7 range priced with more features
Chery has given its ever-popular Tiggo 7 a second round of updates following the initial refresh two years ago which... Chery has given the Tiggo 7 its second update since 2023. Image: Chery Chery has given its ever-popular Tiggo 7 a second round of updates following the initial refresh two years ago which involved the introduction of the more powerful 1.6 T-GDI. The biggest revision in the nameplate's lifecycle to date, the range has been cut from six to four, as both all-wheel-drive models have been dropped, along with the Pro and Pro Max nomenclature denominators. Also gone are the Distinction, Executive and Premium trim level names, leaving the conventional petrol engine line-up with three new grades, Prime, Prestige and Legacy. Continuing unchanged is the newly introduced CSH plug-in hybrid with its Plus an Ultra trim structure. Now simply called Tiggo 7, the aesthetic change to Wuhu's mid-range SUV model comprises a new diamond 'studded' chrome grille, slightly revised LED headlights and reportedly, the same taillight design as the Tiggo Cross. Inside, the interior continues without change, but specification has been revised across the range to include more features. In the case of the Prime, this includes the pair of 12.3-inch displays, three type-C USB ports, an improved Hello Chery voice command system, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry, push-button start, six-speaker Sony sound system, four airbags, tyre pressure monitor, folding and electric mirrors, front and rear armrests, and a reverse camera. Upping the ante, the Prestige swaps out its sibling's 18-inch wheels for 19-inch alloys, while also gaining imitation leather upholstered seats, the 540-degree surround-view camera system, ambient lighting, eight airbags and an electrically adjustable driver's seat. Included further are Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Collision Warning, Door Open Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. At the line-up's sharp-end, the Legacy boasts an eight-speaker Sony sound system, an electric tailgate, heated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, Lane Keep Assist, Automatic Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Change Assist and Traffic Jam Assist. Despite the line-up shuffle, Chery has retained the same pair of drivetrains as in the Tiggo 7 Pro, but with emphasis skewed towards the aforementioned 1.6 T-GDI. The standard option for the Prestige and Legacy, the unit sends 145kW/290Nm to the front wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. For its part, the Prim retains the combination of the 1.5 T-GDI, outputting 108kW/210Nm, an the six-speed dual-clutch 'box. At the line-up's summit, the CSH, denoting Chery Super Hybrid, combines the latter with an 18.3-kWh battery pack powering a single electric motor for a total output of 265kW/310Nm. Mated to a single-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT), the Tiggo 7 CSH has an electric-only range of 93 km and a claimed combined of 1 200 km. Price Now available, the Tiggo 7 is once again covered by a five-year/150 000 km warranty, a five-year/60 000 km service plan and the 10-year/1 000 000 km engine warranty.
