Looking for a new or used Chery? Find it here with CARmag!
The Chery Tiggo 7 CSH uses a 1.5l turbocharged petrol engine paired with an electric motor, sending power to the front wheels. Together, the system produces 265kW and 310N.m of torque.
But the real headline is the range. Thanks to an 18.3kWh battery, the Tiggo 7 CSH can cover up to 93km of electric power alone. Combine that with the petrol engine, and Chery claims a total range of 1 200km and a fuel consumption of 4.9l/100 km. Charging takes less than an hour with a fast charger or a few hours with a regular wall socket.
Chery Tiggo 7 CSH pricing
Tiggo 7 CSH Plus – R619 900 (Introductory launch price valid for 3 months will be R599 900)
Tiggo 7 CSH Ultra – R679 900

Inside, the layout is familiar. Even the base Plus model comes with leather seats, a power-adjustable driver's seat, dual-zone climate control and keyless entry. The Ultra adds heated and ventilated seats for both front occupants, memory settings for the driver, and some small upgrades like an air purifier and auto-dimming rearview mirror.
The tech offering is strong across the range. Both models get a pair of 12.3-inch screens, one for the gauges and the other for infotainment. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, and there's a voice command system that responds to 'Hello Chery'. There's even a wireless charging pad. The Ultra trim swaps in a better sound system from Sony and adds ambient lighting.
Design-wise, it's business as usual. The Chery Tiggo 7 CSH keeps the bold look of the standard Tiggo 7, complete with LED lights and 18-inch wheels. The top-spec Ultra adds a panoramic sunroof, power tailgate and some extra chrome bits to help it stand out. You also get two-tone paint options if you want something a bit flashier.

XC60 takes the lead in Volvo's sales history
The Volvo XC60 has officially taken the crown as the best-selling model in the company's history, passing the long-reigning Volvo 240 with more than 2.7 million units sold since 2008. Looking for a new or used Volvo? Find it here with CARmag! That milestone marks a major shift in how customers define a family car. Where the boxy 240 estates once ruled the suburbs, the XC60, a mid-size SUV introduced at a time when Volvo was leaning into premium territory, now carries the torch. Since its launch, the XC60 has appealed to a wide range of drivers, thanks to its safety credentials and a design that strikes a balance between practicality and Scandinavian restraint. Originally produced in Europe, the SUV later became the first Volvo model also built in China, a move that supported its international success. The current-generation XC60 added plug-in hybrid options to the range, which helped it become the best-selling PHEV in Europe last year. Now, with the 2026 model year update, Volvo has introduced a series of changes aimed at keeping it competitive. These include a cleaner exterior design, a more comfortable cabin, and a faster, more responsive infotainment system. Related: Volvo's S40 Turns 30 Years Old in 2025 Reflecting on the milestone, Susanne Hägglund, the head of Global Offer at Volvo Cars, said: 'Growing up in Sweden in the 1980s, the Volvo 240 was the iconic family car, you could spot one in almost every driveway. Today the XC60 has taken over that position, becoming our all-time top-seller, which in itself is the ultimate proof point of a successful car.' The popularity of the XC60 also reflects how much the family car has evolved. Buyers who grew up in the back seats of Volvo 240s are now choosing the XC60 for their kids, favouring SUVs over estates. While the 240 was known for introducing crash safety innovations in the 1970s, like reinforced passenger compartments and side-impact protection, the XC60 has built on that legacy with systems like City Safety (automatic braking at speeds up to 30km/h) and Oncoming Lane Mitigation, which can steer the car away from a head-on collision. Volvo hasn't reinvented the XC60 with this update, but that's likely the point. After all, you don't mess with a formula that's already made history.

Hybrid warfare as Chery Tiggo 7 takes swipe at Jaecoo J7
Special launch offer means that this frugal SUV will go on sale from less than R600k. The Chery Tiggo 7 SHS has an electric range of up to 93km. Picture: Supplied Nothing is going to stop the Chinese from bringing vehicles to market faster than anybody else. Never mind the legacy brands like VW, Toyota, Ford, Kia, Hyundai, Chery has just taken a real swipe at sister brand Jaecoo. The new Chery Tiggo 7 CSH, which is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), goes straight up against the Jaecoo J7 SHS. It has the same tech and the same sort of spec level, but at a better price. The Jaecoo J7 SHS comes in at R689 900, whereas Chery is offering you a Tiggo 7 CSH Plus for R619 900. And a Tiggo 7 CSH Ultra for R679 900. And for three months only, you can get the Plus for R599 900 as part of an introductory launch price special. ALSO READ: Hybrid Chery Tiggo Cross declares war on Toyota Corolla Cross Lots of oomph Powering the Chery Tiggo 7 CSH is a 1.5-litre turbo four-cylinder petrol engine paired with an electric motor, delivering a combined output of 265kW and 310Nm of torque. Thanks to an 18.3kWh battery, the Chery Tiggo 7 CSH can travel up to 93km on electric power alone it is claimed. The combined fuel consumption number comes in at 4.9 litres per 100km. This translates into a total combined range that is said to be up to 1 200km. Which should see you get you to Durban and back on a single tank of fuel. Being a PHEV, you must plug the Chery Tiggo 7 CSH in to fully charge it. This is not a mild hybrid that charges its much smaller battery up itself. But charging is said to be convenient with a full recharge taking 45 minutes to one hour using a public DC fast charger. Or between four and eight hours when plugged into an AC wall box charger at home. Comprehensive set of specfications Like petrol engine models, the Tiggo 7 CSH boasts every luxury, advanced safety aid you can think of as standard. From automatic LED headlights, taillights, and daytime running lights to a power-operated tailgate. To Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Intelligent High Beam Control. Right down to wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with 50W wireless charging.
